Only one bit of wisdom per day. Actually pretty nice here today.. Going flying about 4:30. Temp ought to be in the low 50's. I was bringing in one of my planes from the truck and the screen door closed before the plane was all the way in. Good-bye Stab and elevator. Seems like I have more than my share of Accidents that are not involved in flying. Well, I probably have some of those as well.
I was on my third fuselage on the Alpha 60 before I had a flying related incident. On the first the firewall separated 5 minutes into the maiden flight. Horizon replaced it. On the second I tripped over a small depression while walking back to the pits after a deadstick, and fell on the plane. Horizon didn't replace that one.
Went to a big swap meet Sat and spent $.50. I truly am the last of the big spenders.
The club to which I belong sponsored a good size swap meet this weekend. Came home with a nearly finished but never flown H9 95" Cessna Skylane with an OS 160 in it. It's essentially ready to fly after installation of servos, RX and battery. (My wife was just thrilled.
) This one is going to sit for awhile until I get a bit more experience. The Sig should be ready to fly this weekend if the weather cooperates.
It's kinda hard to sneak them big ones in the house. Yes, Dear it was just laying in a field, someone must have lost it. Hummm,,,, that don't work anymore.
