RE: Sickle (V-2)
One other thing I learned this weekend, NEVER leave the canopy off when there is even ONE cloud in the sky.
I was calling for Jeff on the first flight of the day and it started raining, I wasn't about to leave Jeff hanging so as soon as he landed and I got his airplane back to the pits I looked at mine. It was soaked inside. I unhooked the recv batteries and took it apart and stuck it in the van with the heat on high for a couple of hours and all was well.
I got lucky. I will not temp fate again. I'm going to an outside arming setup.
