Your a hard man! Working them girls for all they are worth. When one goes down, do you run it by hand to get the job done! :evil:

Nope.  I just MEL her and send her back out until we get some down time.  :smile30:

Looked pretty good, did you barrel roll it there towards the beginning? How was the landing, tear anything up?

 

[duanehydro]

[duanehydro]

[Patchman]

Dude that sucks! :smile25: But it happens.

 

[Devilman]

Yeah, it went down, but then so did the camera, lol...  Couldn't really tell how bad the hit was...

here ya go........

[Patchman]

I guess it was the power line?

 

[Devilman]

I guess it was the power line?

I'll take "High Winds & Budweisers" for $400, Alex... :grin:


just kiddin Duane.. :cheesy:

 

[duanehydro]

Yeah, it was no wind, then a 15mph blast...... :lipsrsealed: it was fun, plane flys awesome!

after the summer's over, I'll re-kit it. :smile17:

I went by, aborted the landing, throttle too high....went around and at the same time, I'm knocking back the throttle trim to bring the idle down, getting the right line up for the strange north wind...came around and said to myself: self, you know damn good and well that power line is there, you had a model rocket hanging on it by it's parachute for 2 years....lol...wtf? crazy.gif    oppps.....powerline!!!! :smile16:

I've had to rebuild most of my first planes. That's how I got into it. Dumpster diving at the air field!
