Two weeks ago I "landed" my Funtana in a tree while on final aproach to the runway. Granted it was getting kinda late in the day and I don't see all that well when the light starts to fade but I really thought the plane was about 200 yards closer then it was.

Last week I was flying my Kangke 60 size extra and for no reason at all it flipped over and corkscrewed itself into the ground from about 300 ft up. Later found that one of the pull-pull cables on the rudder had parted company from the servo.

Last night I was flying and a couple stopped by to watch. The man was kind of a nuisance but I was trying to be nice so I kept my yap shut instead of telling him to get lost (I can be a rude sumgun sometimes) like I probably should have. A couple of times he walked out in the runway area to get a better look I guess and my flying buddy had to ask him to move back by the vehicles. Well anyway, as I turned for final approach, I heard him talking and was just sure he had walked out into the runway again. I turned around to look (he wasn't, he was over by the vehicles) and when I turned back to my plane it was just in time to watch my Dragon Lady fly straight into the trunk of an oak tree. I guess I must have ruddered it over while I was turning around.

I have two 1/4 scale birds very near to completion right now but I think I am gonna take a break from the flying aspect of the hobby for a while. It's starting not to be fun any more, Ya know? None of these planes are beyond repair but over the summer I have torn up a half a dozen nice planes and I guess I need to look at what I am doing and maybe make some changes. The planes deserve better then I am giving them.

Is it just me or does everyone have this kinda luck?
