A fella said after a failed aerobatic maneuver that ended in a crash, "He was attempting to do a cuban 8, but it turned into a cuban 9".

A guy in our club was interested in buying someone's plane and wanted to fly it.
so the guy agreed and off he went.
He made a number of maneuvers and was bragging about how nice it flew.
so his last stunt was a blinder which the plane never recovered and SPLAT in the dirt.
The guy looks over to the guy who owned the plane and says !

NOT INTERESTED, I DON"T LIKE THE WAY IT FLIES.

When the engine quits on a plane even if you are 1000 feet high, someone always yells, “Comin' in!â€

After doing the bomb/egg drop at a fun fly, one member immediately crashed and halved his plane. He announced out loud, “Watch the plane, not the egg!â€

After a low pass went too low, the pilot yelled, “Earth wave!â€

After getting interference and barely getting his plane back on the ground, the pilot says, “Must’ve been solar flares.â€

Or better yet, "Impact Manuver complete!" after the impact!

I remembered another:

I was out at the field one day and a guy has a gorgeous new 150cc Suhkoi. His buddy shows up and the first guy proudly asks, "Whaddya think?"

His buddy says, "Yup... that'll put a hole in the runway."

On a particularly turbulent day, I looked at our club treasurer and asked, "How much would it cost to get the air resurfaced?"

One particularly well known scale competitor crashed his plane on a turnaround maneuver and immediately called" Crash! ". The judges gave him a 10.

A friend of mine built an Ultimate with a lot of nice details. Among other things, he added a light metal net over the air intake in the cowling which looked rather cool. First flight, he totalled the Ultimate. All you could do was pick up the pieces and throw them in a plastic bag. His only comment was: ‘Well, at least the metal net seemed to work beautifully’.

A few years ago a guy at my old club, his name is Bob, tried to do a inverted loop low to the ground with a beefed up Sig Kadet . When he was done picking up the peices (after the crash) I heard him saying to the club president and vice, " I don't understand, I could do it in my G4.5 Flight Simulator? "

"Take that, Earth!"...after a rather 'firm' landing

and, after a very nice one, "Wow, you touched down like a butterfly with sore feet!"

A friend and I were competing to see who could do the lowest inverted flyby. As I was circling around for another pass, I hear a skidding noise down the runway. I immediately informed my friend "You Won!!!"

Those trees are a lot closer than I thought....
It will (fix, tune, straighten, etc) in the air....
The airplane don't know it's windy...
Stall it in the corn, don't forget the step ladder...
The beans ate it (when looking for something like a canopy, wheel pants, whatever falls off during flight and you don't even bother looking for it).
To fix an airplane, all you need is CA, wood, and clear tape.  To fix a helicopter, you need a cell phone, credit card, and UPS!
Do you want me to bring the fire extinguisher, or do you want it to finish burning?

All of these were said at least once this year......

Helicopters don't fly. They are so ugly the Earth repels them.

This is hilarious. Good thing this is not an helicopter forum

Heard during flight school this year:

"It's a good landing if you only have to bend over once to pick it up."
"Takeoffs are optional - landings are mandatory."
"They must put magnets in that fence."
"Nothing gets better in the air."
"That was all touch and no go!"
"The three most useless things during RC flight are fuel in the jug, air above you and runway behind you."

We have a metal fence with 10 or 12 inch squares at the top. My friend Dennis flew through one of the squares. The wing bolts and the wing and tail section popped off. The prop broke two inches off each side on his 30cc engine. The plane kept going all the way through the fence. I yelled it's good, GOAL!!

Iwent to fly at antoher club as a guest, their club president was flying a 1/3 scale extra. Another gentleman was flying a foam 3d plane. The two of the had been hovering when they lost track of each other. The 1/3 extra mowed down the foamy.
I then heard some one yell, SHREADED TWEET!!
