| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 19-Apr-08 15:23 |  | | Views : 967 | | Had to take a break from time to time to let the weather pass. The club persident showed up and had no problem with his 5 lb gas plane. We both agreed that I needed a calm day for a maiden but once at the field you just can't pass up the temptation. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 19-Apr-08 15:20 |  | | Views : 1053 | | Lucky me, I hit the center of the only patch of blackberrys and bushes in the field and the LE found the biggest small tree in that patch. No serious damage, wing got ripped off and the fuse sides pulled apart just enough to pop loose everything inside. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 19-Apr-08 15:16 |  | | Views : 922 | | It's about 100' from the runway to those trees so I immediately had to try to turn but ended up going in a circle as I embarked on my "crash course" of learning to fly. I was about to get pushed into those trees so I decided it was time to bring it down. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 19-Apr-08 15:12 |  | | Views : 986 | | I started getting braver and tried to do brief lifts off the runway but the wind would push me and I'd end up crashing into the grass. Finally I decided it was time to try to get some height, it immediately turned downwind as seen here. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 19-Apr-08 15:08 |  | | Views : 1007 | | Burned up one battery (all of 5 minutes) getting the feel of the plane on the ground. Gusts of wind kept tipping it over onto one wing tip and I'd have to run over and set it back upright. |
