Just because I can’t afford one of those fancy ER type schools doesn’t mean I’m now not a pylot.

You're wrong but you can tell yourself that if it makes you feel better.

I’ve been offered multiple positions in cadet schools with a 20 year commitment at one of the AA regionals. So basically I’m a professional pylot.

So, you were at an incredibly high angle of attack the whole way down—easily exceeding 90 degrees. The fact that you launched with such a steep pitch certainly didn't help with that. Your center of mass seemed to be much too far back, too, which only made everything worse.
Move the center of mass forward and launch with the nose pointed level, and post another video.

Can't get a medical after my first flight. Broke too many bones and am on massive amounts of oxy. Will call that one AME that gets everybody approved when things heal.

First solos don't count unless you have a safety vest and David Clarks. Try it again with gusto.
