Solo and Crashed in same day
 

I soled today, long story short, tried to take off and when taxiing around I held full elevator to prevent nose over, let go of elevator when taking off, did a few circles and me and my instructor(just watchin and waiting just in case I got in trouble) noticed that I was loosing RPMs and so I did a another circle and killed engine and landed, bounced once and she settled:D happy :D, took engine off and tighten backplate and put it back on, refueled and held full elevator and took off,forgot to let go of elevator, she got off and stalled about 5 ft off the ground, tried to lower the nose to gain airspeed, not enough altitude[:@] cartwheel, after bring her back replaced prop and notice that I had 2 pieces of my fuse gone, asked if it would fly, got the ok and put tape around the fuse, tried to start the engine and nothin, tried for at least 30 min trying, with starter, stick, nothing, found out that lines were pinched, me and my insturtor decided to call it a day, leave with what i got before I loose more than a prop and 2 pieces of my fuse.

over all, it was a good day could it have been better? yes

and got a note my training cord did not work for his new futaba to my JR, its only to my JR to a old futaba, so me had to pass the tx but I'd never had to pass it to him, so I guess I soloed, only thing it was only me and him there and no onelse. I don't think I'll fly without anyone just yet.

ouch man, trust me Ive done that before to a hanger 9 aresti...maiden flight too..that was a sad sad day lol but its gonna happen in this hobby so dont get too attached to ur planes

Days like this happen. Don't worry though, there are also plenty of good ones.

That's why I recommend starting out with a plane with a nose gear.

I have to agree with this statement. My second plane was a tail dragger, so I already new how to fly with my first tail dragger, so making adjustments to properly taxi and take off were not a big deal, just flying the plane on the ground. Had it been my first plane, I imagine it would have been much longer before I soloed, and may have very well had the same experience you did.

Glad you didn't lose anything. Maybe this was enough for you to learn. Keep at it!

I'm glad it wasn't worse like a power dive into the ground[:o], and just a stall after I crashed while walking, I said, maybe thats why they recommend trikes for noobs instead of tail draggers:)
