Pterodactyl and a crash

We had an appointment in Chehalis today so I loaded a couple of planes in the car and stopped at the field to fly.  Leonard, Audrey, Jim and Theresa were there flying.  Jim had his Pterodactyl today and I had never seen it fly so I was really interested in it.

Jim's wife Theresa has only been flying a little while and she is a great hand launcher.  Some of the flyers are having her launch their gliders.

The Pterodactyl looks awesome in flight, the sun shining through the transparent covering is a nice effect.

I had brought the delta along for a test flight.  It wasn't steering good on takeoff since it does not have a rudder so I lifted off too soon and it torque rolled into the ground partly because I had the ailerons on low rate.  The crash wasn't too bad, a broken prop, spinner and a crack in one wing so it will fly another day.
