Crashed my Trex 550! :-(

I was on my 3rd flight, still feeling nervous as I haven't flown since May.  I started a nose in turn, which I've done lots of times, but my thumbs froze on the exit and I drove it into the dirt. I was having a decent time until then, but I wasn't comfortable flying, even by the 3rd flight.

The battery, canopy, and heli were a good distance apart, but I picked them up and put them near each other. 


Tacoed battery. One cell split open. Luckily nothing happened
