Default RE: Do you remember your 1st Crash?

Unfortunately, yes I do. I just got cleared training and was on my own for the first time. I was taxing down the runway and a strong crosswind caught me and pushed me to the right side of the runway and I caught the grass. I tried to pull the plane up and the right wing dipped and grabbed the grass and tore the plane apart.

Lesson learned when taxing: When taxing and trouble pops up. CUTTHETHROTTLE.
