wow, just wow some of these stories are just amazing.

<knock on wood> Ihave been extremly lucky,

Nextstar:
First flight hung the plane in a tree about 40 feet up, thank goodness for the speed brakes for slow flight, and quick thinking Ikilled the throttle. 1 2-3 inch hole in the right lower wing. I had a couple of stalled touch and goes but managaged to keep my cool and bounce the plane hard on all 3 wheels.

Time for a new covering job, thinking about taking the dehidral out of the wing, and making it a tail dragger, of course the sun sensor has got to go!!!! (never used it)
