Hi
Update on this comical saga of a lost model - I was given it back
Yes, you read it right, a nice Irish farmer who's son had retrieved it a month ago today gave it back to me,
He approached me as I flew my teeny 3D-13 by parking his large SUV right in the middle of my landing patch. As soon as I had forcibly ditched my model in some tall weeds, he approached me and asked if I had lost a model in trees some time back.
Half an hour later, after we had traded farming tips on his driveway, I was gifted a couple of pots of organic cheese and yogurt, as well as the little bits and peices of the model.
Apparently his younger son who is a 12 year old motorcycling dare deviler found the machine forlornly abandoned on the neighboring field after a gale storm. His 20 year old brother then took it all apart in order to fix it. When their mother found out, she asked around, and the suspicious farmer character, who has appeared in our story earlier, told her about me. But lo and behold, he had promptly lost my number.
It was only after seeing my model in the air today that his husband rode a mile out to see me.
It all ended well in the end, I got all the pieces back, sans a needle valve, plus a bit of a rust thrown in.
the moral of the story - NEVER DOUBT THE IRISH VALUES OF HONESTY AND DECENCY - I have been in Ireland for over three years now, and each passing moment stregnthens my belief on the strong moral character of these people.
Signing out ........

LOL
lets see if I got this right:
A farmers son found the model.
The son's older brother took it apart.
Their mother found out.(not the farmers wife???)
This farmer's husband asked if this model was yours.???!?!??!?!!?
Is there somethin wrong here?
Especially when you end the story like this:
NEVER DOUBT THE IRISH VALUES
LOL
