Default The wall of shame



The wall of shame, I like to share this with you guys – right outside of my office at work in the shop is my wall of shame.

Dumb thumps, frequency interference, let someone else fly all this is reflected there. Good reminder and good laugh for me when I look up.

Here are the words of my friend Scott R.:
1. Altitude is your friend. Two to three mistakes high is recommended for all new flyers.

2. A compound rule.
Should you select (a) then (b) must follow
a.Takeoffs are optional.
b.Landings are mandatory!

3. Regardless of age, experience, quality of equipment or skill level ... at some point in time you WILL crash your plane.

…right?

Happy landings[sm=thumbup.gif]

That's funny, I had a friend 25 years ago that used to do that, but he had far more trophies than that, he bagged that many in one season!

I work out of a spare bedroom Bob, you should be greatful. lol Moybe one day I'll be able to afford a place with a heated garage... that would be great. I'm only limited to having 4 planes and that's it for now. I'm glad my wife likes airplanes and don't mind me having them everywhere.

I think I might have you beat, and thats just this year. I have had alot of those moments this year where I'v said: Thats gonna hurt. Looks like it might be a good project for the club. I think most of us never throw anything away anyhow. Might as well do something with the peices.

We all used to do that. We called it our "Piece of Tail Collection".
