Default First day at the field

Well finally flew today and crashed rekitting both my planes. Went out to fly before my buddy box arrived and did the old pass the tx on the white and blue plane. Gave up the tx too late. On the red plane was taxing it on the runway trying to trim out the front steering and it airborne on my and wasnt ready for it crshed in the pits.

Rushing at the flying field does not help, believe me.

Be as patient preparing your flight as you were building the planes.

Do not be discouraged about this. It happened to many of us.

A valuable lessen can be learned even from the most un pleasant experiences. As long as you learn from your crashes you are making progress...

Lesson 1. Don't fly without your buddy box until cleared to solo.

Lesson 2. Don't taxi to fast... LOL

Good luck on the rebuild [8D]
