<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: larger;">Hello all,

Been reading the forums here for the last couple of days. I can say there is a lot of good advice here.
I'll start off to say that my flyng experience is self taught. First with a Axe c/p heli, which cost me more in parts than the copter did! I then took batteries out of the heli, and bought another transmitter, and wound up biulding a slow stick. After lawn darting the first one a few times and learning I built another one, with brushless motor. Great machine for learing on. (Once when I was working in Washington State I landed it in a 50 foot pine tree. After waiting for 2 hours, I finally fell out.) New prop, minor adjustment, and it flew fine. Had many more mishaps, but I won't bore you with those.

Yesterday I bought a Alpha One Trainer, and put it together, and batts on charge. I then proceeded this evening for my first test flight. Did all the usual checks after putting the wing on, run up, etc. I then took off, and I have to say a nerve wracking experience. Airelons are far more sensitive than evevator only, and flys fast enough to make you on edge even at half throttle. Anyway, all went well and after 5 mins in the air i decided to try a landing approch. WRONG

I think I stalled, and to make a long story short it lawn darted the ground for about 12 ft high. I went over to it, and the prop (no suprise) was busted and carb had a plug of dirt in it. I had the throttle down to idle when it happened.(probably the first mistake)

I have posted pics of the damage, and would like advice on how to fix it, because to me it don't look that bad.

Damage is primarily behind the rear dowl post for some reason, and under the ultrakote I can feel a crack about 5" long. You can see the chunk that broke behind where the wing goes on. Wing and all other control surfaces were intact.

Thanks for any advice, since I have no idea how to fix yet, and I do not know anything about ultrakote.
