Don't let it get you down.

Things happen, they just do, for whatever reason.

I remember putting one in the ground cause after I took off I realized I hadn't extended my radio antenna, I still had control over the airplane. but instead of just circling back around and landing I decided to extend it while I was flying, a very dumb move, but it was just one of those reactive type things.


I'd imagine, if the range is 1 - 2 miles with the antenna extended I probably could of flown normally with it retracted, but I was thinking with the antenna down I'd lose control and CRASH, LMAO. At least I can look back and laugh at myself for a lesson well learned.
