RE: Trying to make sense of crash on maiden?
Planes like this don't get an ample supply of prop blast over the control surfaces, so everything has to be setup dead on perfect, no matter what your flying experience is. Fix it as best you can and keep trying. The aforementioned advice to allow the plane a shallow climb out is good. If the plane had more power, you would probably be very happy with it already. IMO, it's probably some underpowered POS.
