RE: Lost one to a spider
Not exactly a flying war story, but somewhat similar. Years ago I was sneaking through the woods deer hunting in Fla, and ducked under one of those giant spiderwebs we have down there, for the Golden Orb spiders, aka banana spiders, and didnt think too much about it because there was no spider and I ducked under most of the web. About 30 feet later, like a scene from a 50-60's horror creature flick, all I see are the legs coming down into my eyes from my short brimmed hat. I screamed like my name was Susie, hat went one way. glasses another, and all the time doing the hoochie-coochie dance. I feel your pain. I can absolutely understand and see how it happened. I have rekitted for foolish reasons, mostly dumb thumbs. And so far, only 2 have reached the "You can't rebuild me Anymore" sign. One, however, lives on at a hobby shop ceiling. Keep building. It is just as fun as flying!!!
