Bummer Dutch. Just remember that it is all part of the game. Over my many years of flying I have stuck my share of planes in the ground. Do you remember the show - The Six Million Dollar Man. You can rebuild it, you can make it stronger, you can make it faster, you can make it better than before. Now it is time for the Ribbing. You apparantly didn't follow my 9 step plan (Fuel Up, Start up, Line Up, Rev Up, Speed Up, Point Up, Keep Up & Don't F--K Up. That is all there is to it. Oh Yes You Have to land with the Canopy Up) [X(]. Sorry Dude I couldnt resist.

Just thought I would add this. This is a story I told almost a year ago.

Gotta Short Story. My son & I was flying behind the house yesterday afternoon. We had his 4star up & I was bringing it around to land, Well I landed in a tree (stuck way in top of it). After my son stopped laughing at me I got a rope and hooked a tree limb shaking it to get the plane to fall, Well when it did that sucker hit me in the top of the head, D--- near knocked me out. Well my kid is telling everyone we see about it ( Dad crashed my plane and it hit him in the head). Spent all day rebuilding it. Almost ready to go again.
