i took her out for her maiden flight today. Let me add that there was a little gust of wind out here (4-7mph).

It was a successful...failure! take off was smooth, flying around was easy, maneuvering the plane was easy minus the wind. i had alot of fun flying this Cessna. i was nervous as heck too! (a girls softball team was practicing at the baseball field) even though the wind slammed my Cessna into the ground, all that was damaged was the prop, of course, the motor shaft broke clean off. The cowl was damaged a little bit (the only area that i DIDNT tape up). The nose landing gear strut was bent and the nose wheel cover was scratched. other than that, everything else is in good condition.

I was VERY impressed with the plane even though i crashed. i liked how the plane looked in the air and its a good plane.

Although i do want to upgrade the motor/esc. that is next

here are the pics of the crash...
