I have been flying for about three years. Right after my solo, it was unusual to have a full day of flying without needing some kind of repair. Not crashes, but busted landing gear, a cornstalk though the leading edge of the wing, etc...

I can only remember one "crash" in the past year, and that was only a landing gear repair. It was a half reverse cuban that didn't quite make it around during a fun fly limbo event, and it looked pretty spectacular, but the plane held together pretty well. I fully expect to plant one again, as I have become a lot more daring with low, inverted passes and things like that, but I am on a lucky streak right now.

I feel like I am at the point where I will not crash unless I am doing something really stupid, or I have some kind of mechanical failure that I can't recover from.

I think I have cursed myself enough for today....
