Well ran my mouth been over two years since I put anything more than a minor scratch on a plane. Today IT CAUGHT Up with me. Flying my Cub that flys like a gem. On take off with very gentle breeze right down the runway at about 25 feet off the ground it started rolling hard to the left. Rudder, right aileron, stuck my toung out the right side of my mouth, leaned on my right foot, tipped my hat to the right and watch it roll and go straight in. Another 200 feet I might have pulled it out ??
Positive Side = It was a GP ARF so when it hit the cheap glue popped loose and only real damage was windshield and balsa on top of fuse behind firewall. Cheap glue really saved this plane.
Positive Side = only had to walk about 50 feet to pick it up.
3 Neg - it hurt to see it go in. ( pride more than anything else)
4 Neg - Almost had my wife ready to buy me another plane ( she caught on real quick on how little damage)
Gottal love the hobby. Tear up something and keep going.
