Well, I took a week off from flying, fixed the Funtana, finished the 1/4 scale Extra, moped around the house for a while, survived Isabel, and got talked into going with a buddy of mine to try out his new 33% Ultimate. Took along my Funtana "just in case". I guess I survived the crisis 'cause I flew the @#$%@ outta that thing!

On that subject though, some guys have all the luck. My buddy was flying his Ultimate and he says to me " Steve, do me a favor and pull out my antenna." he had flown that thing a LONG WAY out and never even had a glitch with the antenna pushed in all the way. My luck I woulda been in the ground before it was a hundred yards away. He was so shook he landed and quit for the day.
