Default RE: maiden VQ p-51

ok, i got it in the air, little sketchy, not pretty, but up it went. I managed to hit a small road marker[ those little yellow round things they glue to the roads to seperate lines ] knocked the right wheel loose flopping around . I've hit those a hundred times with my trainer no probs. anyway i got it trimmed, took a few minutes then flew around for about 10 mins then did about 5 or 6 passes over the landing area knowing i had a bad wheel tryed to bring it in slow. It stalled maybe 10 foot in the air , pulled up and rooled right and landed up side down. Bummer but the plane is in great shape, can't beleive it. mostly cosmetic.
