Default Dang it!

[:@]Was flying 1 mistake high & made 2. Straight in from 50', full throttle. Had to dig the engine out with pieces of broken propeller. Airframe is a total loss, as are 1 servo & the receiver. Thoroughly cleaned the motor & reassembled. It survived.
Oh well, ordered a Phoenix Sea Bee 1/2 hour ago. Sure am glad my wife understands.

Last week I was practicing the split S and Immelman. Well, I goofed... was thinking immelman and did a split S. Miss the ground by about 10 feet at full throttle. [X(] WPHEW!!!! [sm=bananahead.gif]

Buzz Lightyear for all of his bravado...is a notoriously bad pilot.

Just kidding, sorry about the plane, it was nice.

Thanks for all the support. I am moving on, got 2 new planes on the way. 4*60 & Phoenix Sea Bee Got a good chuckle, Liberator!
Kind of a shame, though. It was my first BIY kit. I had just finished fine tuning it & it was a blast to fly. Learned alot about balance & trim, my next kit will be better.
BTW, it almost seems like I enjoy building as much if not more than flying. Am I nuts?

SCHMALTZY : THE bright side is,if you like to build;The crashes are perfect excuses for a reason to buy,and build more planes JUST be sure to crash,SAFELY!!!
P.S. DON`t be too obvious,she`ll catch on to your tricks.GET at least, 2-3 flights in first!!![sm=spinnyeyes.gif].AND make sure she`s there to see it happen. PLAY terribly upset and you could probably take her with you to the LHS,directly from the airfield,to chose the newest VICTIM, I mean model.TAKE it one step further and LET her even pick one out, that way she`ll get attached to it too[sm=sunsmiley.gif]. PLAY your cards right and I can see a new CAREER in the future for ya!!! I`m sorry if I offend you, I`m just laffin my ***** off over my new found scheme.Can`t see why it wouldn`t work. DAVE B. (brilliant, even if I do say so myself)..
