so here is my story.. sunday i went to fly and i am waiting for one of the trainers to show up to take my up on a box. well waited and waited when one of them showed up it started to rain. so he left and i waited so more,it cleared up and nice sunny skys no wind but no trianer. there was one guy left at the feild so i ask him if he could take me up. he said i dont have a lot of time fly my self. then he said but i can talk you though the landing. after wait to fly all week i said sure. so i go to get the plane started and then spun the prop off. after leaving my tools at home and 30 min trying to find some one who bought some i got it all back together.
i took off good maybe a lil fast and a lil high but it left the gound. the plane kept banking hard left and down. i been flying in high winds for the last few weeks so fighting the plane was to hard butt i tryed to trimm it out but couldn't. so as i did a mid air pass my engine wasnt sounding right. so i thought better get it down before something bad happens. so i line up good alt and kind of gliding in. i thought not even to try land on the runway the grass would be a softer land since i never taken off or landed the grass look good. so come in the back wheels hit first then the fornt slamed in to the ground and stoped. i just about craped my self. but my plane did i left a skid mark on the bottom of the fuse where the wheel hit the plane. and the engine make the bad sound my muffer came apart in mid air.nothing broke thank god. so 20 min later i thought lets try agin, after the muffer got retightenthis figh lasted all of 30 sec i toke off and almost crashed the plane now was banking so hard to the left went almost went up side down. the hole fight i was say the "f" word the hole time. but i laned it beautfull. went and sent sun and today fixing and reinforceing the fire wall.
sorry to for the long sorry but now i know just becuse it flew last week dosnt mean it will fly this week
alway do a flight check
