Aero Ace grabbed by Hawk
ok so here it is, im flying my aero ace on a calm friday afternoon, im just flying waiting for my friend to come so we can go flying, anywhoo, im get it up really high about 150 feet, and all of a sudden a Red Tail Hawk comes and grabs it rite out of the sky, but im not giving it up that easy, i hit the dual .0000000000000000000000000000000001 horsepower engines attached to each wing full throttle and the hawk lets go, fortunatley i got it back but now it has 2 big holes in the right wing. any way that my story.

I'd have loved to seen that on video! Next time bring a camera and maybe the hawk will still be there. If he did it once...who knows. Glad the plane's still flyable!

holy dog toffee! 
... these hawks think they own the place... maybe a little "persuasion" with a 12-bore and he would have given the cross-spar back :P
