yr.fthfl.authr. is @ far-left, in the bush hat
So! I was getting the heli dialed (back) in after fitting a new set of blades. Buncha vibration due to the tracking being out, but not too bad. It was pretty windy, and I was concentrating on keeping the heli in one spot.
<indistinct shouting>
<guys start landing planes>
Uh-oh. Who crashed?
I set the heli down and glance up the flightline. BigD is the only person not working his TX . . .
A half-hour scramble ensued. The brush on that hillside is
very thick, and consists solely of stuff with
thorns, its
very steep, and there's
no breeze under the tree canopy. Nasty stuff.
Its our tradition, though - if someone's plane goes into the hillside every man-jack wearing long pants goes up to assist in the SAR.
And we all need the exercise anyway.
BTW I like the club name! Interesting Acronym, too. "S.T.E.E.R.C.A.C."?
