Default RE: Showtime maiden in the drink

Myself and a few friends have dunked our planes in the LAKE and it ain't very clean either. But after letting them dry for a few hours maybe 6-7 they were and have been fine. Most were not in there very long but mine was in there for about 30 min or longer. I had a servo rod, wire whatever on bi plane come loose and had just one side working and it just kept getting further out over the lake. I swam out to retrieve and some guy thought i had went under and called 911 was to far out to get by swimming and by the time I got back to shore they had rescue folks eveywhere. Highway patrol, County deputies, Sherriff, ambulances, shut the highway down everything was kaos. They put in the local paper HIGH ADVENTURE RESCUE and showed the sherriff and a deputy and a game wardins pic. Said they rescued man of 43 chasing a 10ft. wingspan plane in rushing water. It was a lake and I swam back on my own and the plane was 39in ultimate. Man they sure build things up around here. But did let them know i appriciated there concern and had i been drowning it would have been nice they found my body pretty quick. Thanks again to them for there being there though. So it will be fine just let dry look it over good and try the elec. out and go try again.
