Hey everyone..lets come up with a set of Murphy's law for R/C's... and everyone will get a kick out of it..everyone post one or more please...I go first...!



1. The radio is most likely to malfunction when you are showing off to your friends your new "flying inverted 10mm above the ground" trick

[ul][*] The only good flying day all month will be on your wife's birthday.[*] Engines will only quit on takeoff, or when too far from the runway.[*] Just as you squeeze the CA bottle you will realize it's not the thick but the THIN!
[/ul]

The more expensive the plane is, the more likely it is to crash.

The more people that look at you when you fly...the most likely your plane is going to crash!

Don't fall in love with your plane, your wife is more forgiving!!!!!!!!!

No matter how well you stock your field box, you won't have what you need at the field!

A crash is an opportunity to start a new kit.
It's a really cold day when starting your engine is a fun fly event.
It takes three years to finish a backlog of kits.

the one time you dont do a range check, you needed one

When you tork your 27% Edge at 6 inches it will flameout..[:@] Dont ask

When you are absolutely certain you have enough fuel for another flight, you won't...

Goldberg's corollary to Murphy's Law: The number of kits actually completed in a year is inversely proportional to the number of kits "waiting to be built"...

Just as you have completed applying 5 min epoxy to the most critical component that requires perfect alignment - your kids come into the shop fighting with each other.

The two essential tools for repairing your airplane are WD40 and duct tape.

and for cars it is zipties!

When you try to make your engine run all day, and finally get the engine to run. You only have enough time to make that one flight, the one to last flight literally. If my engines act up like that, i dont fly.

a "hey watch this" will usually be followed by a crash

a "one more before i go home" almost always results in a crash

If you think you can trust any one component that is integral to flight in your plane, don't.

If it isn't broken, it will be.

The further you live from the field, the greater the chance you will leave the transmitter ant. at home.

The maximum chance of your modelling knife rolling off your table - blade pointing down - is when you are barefeet - Ouch

No matter how many replacement props you have in your field box, the one you will need will be hanging on the workbench at home. Yes....I know this is true.

ya..murphy is more powerful than AMA...

Olson's Corollary to Murphy's Law :

Murphy was an Optimist.

Dave Olson

Unlike a pessimist, an optimist can never be "pleasantly surprised."

you always do the cool stuff when nobodies looking

The number of people watching is directly proportional to the stupidity of your action.

If you crash with no one around, wait five minutes, and they'll turn up.
