A victim of my own impatience, again

Opps, I did it again. So I got home, and there was a box from Las Vegas with a new 3S 1320 mah from Thunder Power in it. Thanks for standing by your products Thunder Power. Anyways, I had company coming over, so I knew I couldn't use it last night, so I put it on for a slow charge to be ready for this morning. I propped down the e-starter to something flyable but also so I would know I'd draw 6.5 Amps static to do a few flights and break in the battery.

This morning, I couldn't sleep, so I went ahead and got all the electronics set back up, and checked the CG for correctness. I then snuck outside before I needed to leave for Church, and tossed her up. She dove straight into the ground even though I hastily pulled the stick up, and certainly didn't stall. I looked her over trying to figure out what went wrong and I realized I didn't put the push rod into the control horn. Stupid, stupid stupid. The cost was the nose being even more beat up, and another GWS prop being broken. bahh. I replaced the prop and plugged in the TX, but I had to go before I could try her. I may go ahead with a flight this afternoon, but it's kind of up in the air and dependent on the wind.

In the end, it all boils down to me learning to exercise some patience. I mean a 30 second ground check would have earned me another 12-30 minutes of flying plus saving me 15-30 minutes spend doing repairs. Aggghhh. God will teach me patience yet, I'm sure of it.
