- making a full bore pass down the field with a piped .60 powered Sig Komander and watching the ailerons peel off a split second after I heard the sound of aileron flutter for the first time..

- launching a 2 meter glider with .049 power pod and hitting the Rx switch off at launch, but the glider was properly trimmed and climbing very well..

- watching the Picco .40 on my Hots start flailing around on the one remaining and very loose radial mount bolt, at full bore because the throttle cable also broke..

- not seeing the fire in an .049 exhaust port before squirting in more prime..

- pulling out of a full power dive to make a pass down the field (with the Komander mentioned above which survived that incident), and due to messed up depth perception (I learned I needed glasses later) not noticing the fact that I was about to fly straight into the one lone dead tree at the edge of the field (it did not survive this time)..

- having a sudden mad sneezing fit with an airplane somewhere up there at full bore and not being able to find it again..

- flying anywhere near the sun with a yellow airplane..

- hitting yourself with a .15 powered RC combat wing..

.. I hope these qualify.
