Status: offline 		So I was trying to get my trainer to do inverted outside loops. Get it inverted, then push forward on the elevator stick, and it would loop up through about 80deg, then run out of steam, stall, and fall back. The OS46la with master airscrew just could not ooomph it over the crest.

Anyway, I had been trying and trying and trying, and came back down for fuel. I was pretty forlorn that "my plane just couldn't do it". Well, I happened to absolutely grease the landing. Not really intentional, but it came in really smooth, kissed the grass, and rolled out really straight. The chief instructor at our club was watching, and since I only had my wings for a month or so, he says 'My god, with a landing like that, you should be able to do the loop...", so I put the trainer nose-into-the-wind, powered up, and had a beautiful takeoff. When I had good airspeed, I rolled inverted, and pulled back on the elevator. Man, did that trainer do a beautiful loop right in to a bush.

The chief instructor turns to me and says, "Well if that's what you wanted to do, you should have done it with more altitude...."

Anyways, for what it's worth, I had only minor damage, three broken ribs in one wing, and a few monokote punctures. I patched it up and was flying in two days. The next time out I swapped the 11x6 Master AirScrew on the 46LA with an APC 11x6, and the trainer has been outside looping ever since.

When I had my head-on collision, my 8 year old son said" I think I'm gonna cry daddy" I said back to him "me too"
Someone else said omg, never in my life would have I expected it, only 2 planes up.


Another famous comment, "what happened?"

On the video the guy is picking through the carnage of one of the choppers and he found the balloon that the reciever was wrapped in to keep it dry and fuelproof. His quote heard on the tape was.."We can see that the airbag deployed and that is way the pilot was able to walk away from this crash"..I never laughed so hard!

Status: offline 		I once had a Goldberg Extra300 - nothing but trouble and FRUSTRATION!!! after 5 flights. redid it with a YS 140 and new cowl. 1st flight used the wrong control settings and splatted it on take-off. It couldn't be fixed so I went over and just for laughs kicked the thing all over the field and then stomped on it a couple of times.(no-one was around) then sat down and laughed. It felt kinda good.

Then one of the older members shows up while I was cleaning up. He didn't say much but you could tell by the look on his face he couldn't figure out how I had crashed the plane so badly as to scatter the carnage from one end of the field to the other

Status: offline 		That remeinds me of a story I heard from one of our club members. He went to the Nats to pit for his son flying pattern. Some guy kept having real engine problems and every time he went to take off the engine died. He said after about the 5th time of the motor dieing he just layed down his transmitter real calm like and just jumped right in the middle of that pattern plane and stompped it into a million pieces. Now that's something I would have liked to have on video.

I usually say before a crash "Hold my beer and watch this"
My friends say before I crash "LOWER....LOWER"
Just before I crash I say "No really.......I can do this"
Then after it's just the classic old "$h!t"

One gallon of model airplane fuel....$30.00
One hand build remote control model plane....$2000.00
Flying lessons by experienced model plane pilot.....$200.00

Screaming "I don't have it, I don't have it" in a high pitched girl like voice while lawn darting your prized airplane in front of friends and family.....priceless.
