Default First flights ever

Finally got my Skypilot from flyzone. Had to wait till the next day (today) to fly it. Went out to a ball field. Grass was to big to do a rolling takeoff so i had to hand launch it. Wow that was bad went nose first into the grass. Ripped off the front landing gear. Wasen't gona let yhat bum me out. So took it off and did another handlauch. this time I flew for about 15 seconds and went into a stall while turning and hit the right wing on the ground and did a few cartwheels. Nothing bad happened so i launched it again. This time flew for bout 1 minute and ended up in the tallest part of the tree. Well took bout 30 minutes to get it down but got it back. Nothing too bad just a bend in the wing and a little tear in the tail. Took it home and fixed it then went to another place with more open space. First time i launched it ended up in another tree. Got it back again and launched it again. Success finally! Flew for about 5 minutes and then did a nice smooth landing as smooth as it can get on grass with a messed up front gear. But no damage at all. Flew it again for another 5 or 6 minutes and another good landing. That was the most fun i've had in a while. Cant wait to go flying again tomorrow! I love flying this plane!

You notice how there can be just one tree for miles around and the plane will go out of its way to try to attach its self to it!! Its called the tree magnet theory![8D]
