RE: Trying to make sense of crash on maiden?
As I remember , the plane was no more than 10 feet above the ground and moving in a nose down attitude when I pulled back slightly on the stick to try and correct and climb abit, instead it rolled over and instantly nosed directly into the ground. The plane was definitely moving forward at a good clip when it nosed in and impacted rather violently splintering the fuse into pieces. I judge this from the measurable distance I had to walk to recover the remains noting the plane was only in the air a few seconds.
