Default RE: U-CAN---DOH!!!!

Lesson learned...NEVER taxi into the pits even when the field is empty. I will be programming a throttle-kill into the radio on the next one for sure. Thank God nobody else was there....coulda been a mean ankle-biter.
I taxiied into the pits once when absolutely no one was there besides me. The mains got stuck in a 1 1/2 inch wide gap between two slabs of cement and the airplane nosed over into the truck and broke the prop. DUH! After that, I kill the engine a foot before the limit line and wheel the plane in even if no one is there.
