Beautiful day in N.E. Ohio! 66 and sunny. Took my SC to a local park and my first flight was a little rough. Had to hand launch since the ground is soggy from the snow melt. Once I figured out you could not launch it at full throttle I was able to have a good flight and actually made a good first landing. Second flight did not land quite as well. Hit the ground a little to hard and flipped it over. I lost a small chunk off the right wingtip (glued it back no problem) Bent the end of the right vertical stab. It was easy to bend back but left a little crease. Small crack in the front cowling behind the prop. Not too bad.

Not bad at all for a first flight. Keep on flying.

Welcome to the club. I have bent both ends of the vertical (elevator). I straightened them but they still have a tendency to bend up again even with tape. What did you use for the permanent fix?
