If somehow I miss something after all those precautions which results in catastrophic failure, I cry myself to sleep that night and in the morning develop strategies to avoid that from happening again. In general, I find in order to get the most out of this hobby it is best to place the responsibility of airworthiness on myself and nobody else. If you don't take the responsibility, then this situation is going to make you a powerless victim who lets this experience ruin future enjoyment of arfs. Just my 2 cents. I make no guarantees that this free advice is worth

now I do.[sm=49_49.gif]
