Guys,

This is a good thread, I have had my share of jet crashes and failures along the way and after hundreds of turbine flights I still take a deep breath before take off and get a huge rush when the bird sets down successfully and taxies back, at my club, a new field or at a jet rally. The accomplishment "factor" always out weighs the negatives and keeps me going even after some setbacks. You could argue if the turbine / jet hobby is "fun", it may not be. Its something like a roller coaster ride, your hyped up to get on but when its about to drop you 100ft there is something in your head saying " why am I on this ride!!" Then your stopped and saying "lets do it again!!"

Vin...
