Default First crash of the year!

I'm busy repairing my Sailplane (Electra/GL). :cry: Got sucked in by a plane eating goal post. Smashed the LE, sheeting and two ribs. Some minor Fuse damage esp in the front.

Hey who stuck that damn goalpost thing in the ground there anyway? Don't they know that's my approach path! Waddya mean soccer and rugby? Well I can fly around that.

"Watch the pole Greg!" - Crunch! Worst dammage was to my ego and loss of flying opportunity on what was otherwise a fantastic weekend.

The Cape Coral R/C Hawks has a pond adjacent to their field. The tradition is that the pond gets renamed for the last guy who put his plane into it (not counting seaplanes or flying boats). Its had several names since it was last named for me.
