Default RE: Crashed my first flight

Today, I tried to take it for another flight.....again the end was bad.... CRASH!!!!!

Before starting to i checked everything and the neutral position of rudder and elevator..

I increased the throttle and the plane wouldn't move and i feel that the tail wheel is very small and it is having problem moving on the runway ( I am flying it at my college airstrip which has a asphalt runway)
Can i do smthing about it replace it ith larger wheel.

When i increased the throttle too much it moved with a jump start and started drifting right immediately in circle.
So i decided to hand launch it and i think it was my mistake.... It took off fine but started tilting towards right and crashed on its nose....
Propeller broken and motor shaft displaced....

now i m getting frustrated, it takes a lot of time to prepare for flight and i haven't been able to manage more than 2 mins of flight.

And my town doesn't have any RC club and I dont know anyone who knows RC flying.. I guess i m on my own now..


@ Bonified Wingnut - I wish u had given me this advice earlier....
