Status: offline 		Well about two months of planing for this one as well as alot of test flying out at the field to test how long it took to run 36 oz of fuel through a thunder tiger 45 at both full throttle and half. I decided that I was ready for the 100 mile cross country from Ault CO to Sterling CO. I loaded up two airplanes one to fly to sterling and the other...well to fly in sterling...We Had our Pilots meeting at 8:00 I drew my take off time of 8:05 #2 of 8 teams to fly. Take Off get in truck and begin the Journey. Trees on Left from spotter facing forward, I fly to my right facing back-wards plane disappears behind trees I yell WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! Plane Appears Level off and well there was a telephone pole Whack!!! Driver sees this in the rear view Mirror and lurches truck to stop sending me over the cab and on the hood.

He gets out and says why did you not say STOP

I Reply with I Did

My spotter said you said woah.

driver says do you think I am a horse.

We go Back and pick up the pieces as all of the other teams pass and the guys with the cameras got out and well www.smaaonline.com crosscountryphotos at the bottom of the page.

Wait theres more....

I Remembered that I have another airplane My Wifes Kadet Senior fueled it up and well they did not take pictures of that one hitting the same pole. !QUOT! I need a beer or three Thanks guys Home by 8:45 and the wife asks how'd you do. Two airplanes and 30 minutes of fame.

May all of your take offs equal the number of landings...Well I Have walked away from all of my crashes.

Status: offline 		A couple of months ago a friend was hand launching my magnum R. SHortly after the throw, the plane arced perfectly like a javelin into the deck! His words were 'Does it have a name that manouver?" I forgot to turn the dual rates off the elevator and ailerons! DOH!

The standard shout in our club is 'JERONIMO!' just when you know a crash is imminent, that way you can guarantee the most ridicule by bringing attention to yourself!

Status: offline 		My father had a Goldberg Ultimate Bipe Kit. He built it and let his buddy Jerry fly it. Jerry brought it in on a dead stick. My dad flew the second flight and planted it into a cowfield filled with cows. My dad turned around and said "That is the last time I let Fred Flinstone pilot my airplane." I always thought that was funny.
