I took the Debby to the field today, on the way up it was raining and I was a little bit weary but we went up and it was nice at the field!! On the maiden flight I took it up and it was so gentle!! and flew so nice what a great trainer! I would recommend this to anyone just starting out in the RC plane hobby it is so much easier to fly then my trainer that I used to train :P I should have brought a lawn chair! Coming in on landing i went too far out and kept having to give it power to get to the run way...and i got a little mixed up and it thougth i was closer to the run way then i was and it clipped some bushes and went into the weeds but pulled it out and decided to go for another flight...but i didn't realize on that bush grab cracked around the landing gear
i am just going to epoxy it and off to the field for another few flights...i just hope i can get my engine running better!!

*Update*
Ok so I take the Deb out to the field on Wednesday and do a flight for my mom to see (first time she has seen me fly!) She was soooo happy to see me fly and how good I have become and she said it brings back alot of good memories for her (my dad flew RC and I did when i was about 5-7) then after she leaves alot of people start showing up to the field...everyone was asking questions about it if it flies and such and I was like ya you will see it a little later when my frequency clears up...my friend keeps ppushing then he talks to the ppl on my frequency and they say ya he can fly we were just runnignt he engine. So now since my frequency is clear I decide ok I have to fly it... I check my battery and do a full pre-fligth check and the engine took a real long time starting but it went we put it on the run way and i take off! I do a couple circuits and I do a couple rolls and loops to show off to the crowd how easy the plane is to fly and how fun it is. A couple circuits later my plane starts to turn in the air...UH OH I have a brain fart and it goes in. since the bottom and the top of the wing are both blue I didn't notice it went inverted I thought i recovered it and I pull up and it goes down. Within 2 seconds of it strting to go down the wings blows off and into a tree it goes
I go down into the valley of death and grab my wing since it was on the ground but my fuse was about 35 feet atleast up in a tree so I go up with the wing and grab the poking sticks with some other people and we poked it down but the engine is missing so now I have a engine sitting some where in the forest
I am going to go in with a metal detector and try to search it out!
Sorry for my storey being so long...maybe I should publish it and sell it as a novel!
