RE: Ever do something dumb?
Well, well, well!
I got on to your thread looking for glow/spark conversion, pushed a button and ............POOF!........I found myself reading some pretty hilarious stuff. Most entertaining! It gave me a chuckle to say the least. I am a ...................winged warrior I guess you might say, you know, you guys are on the ground and I am punching holes in the sky.
It seems that we all do some pretty dumb stuff in these R\C sports we take up. The dumbist.................most dumb............stupidest thing I ever did was at a MAAC sanctioned event I took this young lads brand new trainer off for him to teach him how to fly andin front of a large group of people (of course) and a friend yells "pull your antenna up!!", well I took my eyes off the plane momentarily and reached for the antenna and in the process my right thumb pushed the right stick forward and over. The resulting' full bore' crash was quite spectacular actuallyas the plane disappeared behind a huge roll of hay you only saw a part fly up here, a part there. The plane being an ARF turned to powder but the motor seemed okay and one wervo was twitching like mad. What could I say? I told his dad Iwould give him a new kit (I had one in the basement) but that the boy would have to put it together. Igave him the new arf but never did see that kid again..........oh well..............
enjoyed your stuff guys, reading it gave me renewed zest for my search. I feel like I am now not alone in the "Dah" department.
Carry on guys. I'll check in once in a while for more chuckles next time I need a lift! <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">:O)</span>
