Since misery loves company, I'll tell you what happened to me this weekend.

I was taking my latest review plane out of the car (A 120 size World Models Ultimate). Sometimes when the weather's cold, the rear window on my Blazer doesn't stay up. But if you hold it up for a while it will stay. So I held it up, and it finally stayed. I was about to take the plane out and I thought I'd better open the tail gate too - that way, if the window fell, I'd have room to drop the plane below it.

Well, sure enough, as I'm taking it out (It takes two hands) the window starts falling. I had the wings out by this time, so I tried to lower it to get it out of the way, and I was ALMOST successful - but the window hit the turtle deck just behind the canopy and put a nice crunch in it.

But it worked out ok. I plan to keep this plane (Which I rarely do with review planes, but this one is a keeper!) And I plan to add smoke to it some day. so I cut a hatch in the bottom so I could A) reach in and fix the Turtle Deck, and B) install a battery pack in the rear to counter balance the weight of the smoke pump.
