My first attempts at flying my Mitsubishi Zero didn't go so well last Wednesday. As the picture on the left shows the firewall broke out on the flips that it did because it hit the weeds at the end of the field and because it was so heavy it wouldn't take off without getting up to 30 mph and the engine I have in it won't pull it that fast anyway.
My T-28 trojan flew just fine except for the wind was a little high for it to fly well. Comming in for a landing it got really hairy and it belly landed in the grass; throwing pieces right, left and center. I need to repair the wing mount again.
The Hobbico NexStar that has done so well for me thus far (the go to airplane when all the others break or just won't handle the wind) landed hard and broke out the landing gear mount area. I had great flights with it today but that landing just did the poor thing in. So now I get to have fun doing the repair part of the hobby. :)
