Decided I was good enough to fly inverted. I was wrong!!!!!! About 100 feet up, hit "up" elevator instead of down (inverted remember). Looped toward the ground, I got it turned over, but not before the trees! Went between two pine trees about four feet apart. Unfortunately the wingspan was five feet! Ripped the wing off, plane continued to the ground- paved parking lot, then slid and hit the school building. Lot was almost full of cars except-luckily- where the plane went. Had to borrow a ladder from some guys working on the school to get the wing down.
This was my first flight on this plane with an Evolution 40 engine. Lots faster than the OS 40 LA that I had in it originally. This was also only the fifth flight ever on this plane since I only finished it three days before!!!!!!!!!!! : ( Learned a big lesson for sure.
