New solo flyer Noah Schneiderman learned about gravity and that Terra is very Firma yesterday at Training Night.
The first time flying his new airplane* the earth grabbed it on final and landed in the beans. It was actually his first mishap since he started flying a few weeks ago. Very few Apprentices make it to the solo stage without some repair, facial deformities, broken props or bent landing gear.
I will be posting the repair once the flying season slows down or we have a few rainy days.
