Typhoon maidan Solo
Flew the typhoon this morning in the back yard. Takeoff was great, turns were great, even did a loop. Afer the loop in was just above the neighbors yard I was bringing it back around to get ready for a landing and got a little close to the nieghbors willow tree. I was nervous and my hands started shaking so bad , I lost all control of the sticks. It barely clipped the tree branches and came down to the ground. Broke a prop and the engine cowl. Not bad for a first solo flight. But should've waited and went up to the field (insert Pilot error here), and got with an instructor. It could've been worse! Great experience. Live and learn

RE: Typhoon maidan Solo
You flew a warbird as your first solo ? WOW ! well I guess your right could have been worse allot worse ! probably if you hadn't gotten so close to the tree we could have found out how your landing skills are , good luck in the future !
