I purchased a hobbizone aerobird during a lull in my training in Meridian Mississippi and flew it every day for about a month. The site I flew at was 4 soccer fields with a paved parking lot adjoining it separated by a metal pipe fence like thing. The Pipe was about 2 1/2 feet off the ground 4" in diameter and painted yellow running the entire length of the soccer fields. I noticed my aerobird was getting very low on batteries so I decided to land. Well I guess my base leg was a bit to long and my final ended up directly above the pipe, the aerobird made a beautiful landing right atop the pipe, the landing gear straddled it and it began sliding along the pipe. Pretty cool I thought, just then I noticed a rather large woman along with three other people sitting on the pipe divider watching me fly. Full power would not lift the aerobird off as it was very low on power, Whack right into her derričre. She screamed, the aerobird made one last whine before falling the 2 1/2 feet to the ground, I couldn’t believe it thought I was going to get sued. Thank god they had a great sense of humor and it was the aerobird and not my avistar running a .46 FX turning an 11x6 prop. I guess I can say my aerobird has been places your aerobird can only dream of.
