Crashed the RC glider

Sunday January 3, 2010
It was my fifth sortie. Landed the glider, but damaged the wing as it was a very rough landing. Took just 5 mins to fix it using fibre optic tape. Was ready for next launch.
I launched it by throwing it into air. However, I accidentally turned off the receiver switch while throwing it into air. The glider crashed and its wing broke into two pieces and also there was a damage to engine mount section.
Could not fly more after this as there was only one model with Dhananjay (my instructor).

I was supposed to get my glider. But it is not yet ready.

Will fly again on next weekend. Hope by that time my glider will be ready.

Today I landed the glider. It was my 5th sortie. May get my own electric glider tomorrow.

It was second day of flying for me. Navigated the aircraft to complete the circuit. It is not very easy as it looks.

December 24, 2009
First day of RC flying. Reached the field next to Pancard clubs in Baner at 8. There were some more fliers already present. They have models of F-16, Delta, High winger gliders (on which I will learn).
