Default First crash!

Alright, so I now have one crash under my belt One of many to come I am sure...

Since I solo'ed I have about 8-10 take offs and landings with my Nexstar without any incidents, until yesterday. The wind patten was such that I had to take off and land the opposite direction of what I usually do, and that disoriented me on the landing, so in an attempt to lift the left wing, well, I lowered it and you know the rest. Not a huge deal thought, the fuse split in the couple of places but it is repairable, just needs a few hours of time and some epoxy...

In an attempt to get a little more flying in today, I tried to put my electric Cub together last night, but I hit a little snag... I put a posting in the electric forum but no response yet, so I thought I'd cheat and put a link here to get a little more traffic If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
