Well guys.....i have had my first crash.
I decided to try out my new homemade floats on a snowy field today. I also decided that i should bring 3 small children with me.....Not a great idea when a cold front is about to come through that made some unpredictable gusts.
Well i took off with the floats on and it was great at first. It felt like i was flying a real plane with the added weight from the floats. It was a little shaky because of some minor aerodynamic issues but other than that it was amazing. Well about a minute in a hear disobedient children behind me. I turn around.....BAD IDEA!! When i look back at the plane i see that a downdraft has put it into a nosedive.......and well i cartwheeled it and did this
yes i had a crap moment.
But good news with a little glue and alot of tape later i mended it! so all is good :applause:
