This is no lie and I have witnesses (this was the first time I took my son out to fly).

It usually gets fairly windy at our club (Bayside, Fremont, CA) in the afternoon. It is actually a very fun time to pull out the ol' Avistar trainer and have fun with it.

I was actually doing a very slow landing to see how long the wind would hold me up when a squirrel ran right across the runway (the local club squirrels will actually sit on your lap and eat out of your hands). Anyway, I hit the poor thing with one of my wheels, the plane bounced up and over, the squirrel did a couple of somersaults, got up and ran to the pipe under the taxiway. No harm, no foul. Luckily it didn't get hit by my prop and all's well that ends well.

By the way, did you know if you flip your wing of an Avistar upside down, it will fly. I also have video AND an extra $50 from the bets I made.

Have fun...this is what's it about.
