how about this flying blunder. I was flying an 8' span beaver and had a hard landing bending the landing gear. Okay stop inspect aircraft very carefully, OH Alright stand back 10 feet and check the controls Looks good to me, refuel take off, Um I said take off. OKay how about some altitude, hey altitude where are ya? OKay fly around try to land on gravel road OOPS here comes a car, fly around again well almost around again. Start loosing altitude rapidly, panic give it full throttle and full flaps or so I thought more like full throttle and no flaps and spread it across a gravel pit for a hundred feet or more. Remove all salvagable parts pile peices up and strike match. send saito 120 out for 200 dollars in repairs. MOral of the story. Always carefully inspect expensive airplane after hard landing. Don't worry you can still crash if you want.

Crashing is just as much fun as flying, especially it's the other guy.
