Default Typhoon maidan Solo

Flew the typhoon this morning in the back yard. Takeoff was great, turns were great, even did a loop. Afer the loop in was just above the neighbors yard I was bringing it back around to get ready for a landing and got a little close to the nieghbors willow tree. I was nervous and my hands started shaking so bad , I lost all control of the sticks. It barely clipped the tree branches and came down to the ground. Broke a prop and the engine cowl. Not bad for a first solo flight. But should've waited and went up to the field (insert Pilot error here), and got with an instructor. It could've been worse! Great experience. Live and learn
