I will respectfully decline to go back to the smaller aircraft and continue to go forward with my education with the 50 cc Extra. At the ripe young age of 47 I have the disciplin to continue with drills, sim time and perfect my craft. The big plane is easier to fly for myself, my failing eyesight and the forgiving aerodynamics of the larger aircraft make it substantially easier for me to fly safely. I take the safety of of what I do and how I conduct myself with grave seriousness. I would never endanger another person with my arrogance. I spend a great deal of time constucting safe aircraft and spare no expense in regards to redundant back up systems. Sorry if I bristle easily but in regards to my conduct I am guilty of nothing more then an over abundance of enthusiasm and a bit of bad luck. To Clarify when I stated I did not know what to do,... I did not drop my transmitter and put my hands over my eyes nor run away, I just failed to execute a proper recovery that would still have resulted in at the very least placing my aircraft into the trees at the end of our runway. A flame out on take off with out having enough airspeed is one of the biggest plane killers at our field, not sure about yours. There is no lateral recovery area at my field s a down field corrider is all that is left to regain control, and attempt an emergency landing big planes like mine almost always end up in the tree line, If I had more expierance and was less prone to panic I would have probably been able to let my plane set back down and attempted a rudder turn with the resulting ground loop, a much less violent result then the abismal save I executed.

Sounds like you got it under control...keep on keepin' on!
