Guys,

Help me out adapting the Murphy's laws to our E.F.T. ( Expensive Flying Toys), to see if we all can come out with some kind of "Ten Commandments".....bring up your ideas, no matter if it's joking or not.

MURPHY'S LAWS ADAPTED TO JET MODEL:


1.- Nothing is as easy as it looks.
I say " Assembling and flying a jet is not easy as it looks"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.- Everything takes longer than you think.
I say " Fixing in the field takes longer than you think, and in most of the cases...wait to get home"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.- Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
I added" ....and much more over 150mph!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.- If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most
damage will be the one to go wrong. Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.

I say: " If during fly is worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.- If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.- If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.

I ask : A heart attach with the transmiter on hand??? [X(]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.- Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.

I say: Hey Manolito, did you range check the radio?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.- If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

I say: My wife bought me a P-200....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.- Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.- Mother nature is a *****.

I add: ...so don't forget about the gravity force!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.- It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12.- Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
13.- Every solution breeds new problems.

I say: Buddy... my first jet just arrive!! Now I just need US$5,000.00 more to make it fly [&o]!

You forgot....it happened on the last flight of the day!

Topgun,
In our local club some guys have the superstition of never say " lets take the last fly of the day " . Always refer as " another fly' ....
Cracy ah?

I tried that and it didn't work. The gods of Murphy knew I was foolin them

the one that kills me everytime is when i say "just one more time !!" its those "just one more time " flights or manouvers that kill me [] everyone that i fly with knows, that if i ever say "one more !! " , they tackle me , restrain me, or whatever it takes to keep me from going up flying

Miguel:

You definately have a recent experience with your "last flight"......................

Alex,
[&o][&:][:@]My recents "last flies" had cost me about US$300.00...boooooo!
But don't worried...in short time you'll get to know the feeling [8D][sm=thumbup.gif][sm=sunsmiley.gif]...when you get to fly my jet...with $$$$deposit in my hands.

It will be the one air bubble you can't see that will flame out the turbine.

When I grew up flying in Baltimore, we would NEVER say "I'm gonna get one more flight". That was the guaranteed kiss of death. Instead, we would all proclaim "five more flights for me"! It always seemed to ward off the crash demons.

Nony
That's a good one!
Do you think we can match it with law # 9: Nature always sides with the hidden flaw?

Woketman,
We have a buddy here that every time a new plane is going to fly for first time, he pull out a cross made of tree's stick and say something simulating Latin that goes In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, Aaaamen.
Of course he is joking and is very funny cos the guy in extremely fat and have some kind of Pope's looks.....[sm=lol.gif]
And the curious thing about this is that so far no plane bless by this ritual had crash ....[:-] at least in the maiden fly
My self....I never refer as the last fly of the day...that phrase tempt the gravity force to do its job pretty well.

Like making the last touch of your brand new jet, instead of cooking the dinner, cleaning the house, while they`re all outside.
