RE: Stick crashed into car windscreen
This pic caused stirr when it was published in a r/c magazine eons ago.... at that time people
argued that r/c aircraft got too big and too heavy, btw too much dangerous, that a 1 hp 10cc engine can cut all your fingers off if it backfires, etc... but strangely nobody talked much about smoking,
driving or eating meat on a daily basis... lol.

RE: Stick crashed into car windscreen
If you're going to hit a car, the windshield (windscreen) is the least costly. We have had two incidents in our club; the first was a small (.26) plane into the side of a van. Cost: $ 965.00 (US). The second, a .40 into a Toyota Camry. Cost $ 450 (US).
The damage didn't look so bad, but the repair cost is a killer.

I wonder if a .40 could kill a cow? (un-intentionally, of course)

It would be great to hear from someone who has tried/saw it tried.

All the way from France?
Try to hit crocodiles, caimans, snakes or other cruel animals, not our cows !! They give you milk !!
And the meerkat is WAY too quick for your fingers !

I heard the story of a guy at a field that deadsticked into a cow. The cow didn't move and the airplane was OK. I bet that you wouldn't have had the same result if the motor was still running.
By the way what is a meerkat?

I deadsticked into a goat pasture one time.[&:] No damage from the off site landing till the goats aquired a taste for slimy ultracote[sm=stupid.gif]. My kid hates goats now.

No. I wouldn't do it. But one thing is for sure, you would not kill a cow with a .40, but only cause a lot of pain (imagine your belly hurt by a high revving prop...). Poor cow[&o].

Trying to hit a cow is idiotic... But hitting snakes and Crocks because they are cruel... My Gosh now I've heard it all...
Cruel... HAHAHAHAHA.... More like Realistic...
And I bet me and my Little Toni could slice and dice a few meercats...
HAHAHAHA

Has anyone tried to fish by hanging a fishing line and hook from their tail and hovering above a lake? It wouldn't be as cruel as trying to kill a crock with a airplane.

Did you guys hear that Eurodisney can't have fireworks anymore ?
Apparently the French Air force saw them and the whole Air force surrendered.
