Major Hawk pilot error!
 

Anyone else get caught out like this in their early jet days?

Boy, am I in trouble! Just a bit of engine testing.

not only in the early days :D

a) wait one week
b) if you´re married, use green color...

It could have been far, far worse. You might have torched your shed :D

wait until the dog runs behind a running turbine!!!

Blame the dog for peeing on the grass:D.

My lab won't go near a model since a little blade cx2 bit it's nose so we're ok there!:D

I have the same marks in my back yard! Could it be Aliens?[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

I am sure I read in one of the topics here that Sandor did some trials with blue smoke dye in the the garden, he indicated that it was better not to try this at home. :D

"and yes the color is fantastic..
so was the blue shade on my house , car , lorry everywhere"

OMG, what have Sandor NOT tried :D

A little green spray paint will fix that right up!!!

RE: Major Hawk pilot error!
 

Yup - It'll buff right out.

You must be some kind of pilot or is that Hawk a VTOL?

RE: Major Hawk pilot error!
 

:D
That shot was taken just before first (and last) garden fire up.

Perhaps I should have started it up on the cradle and just set fire to the fence, I'd have been in less trouble!

Like the green paint idea, may give that a try!

Hi Gary, are you at scampton this weekend ?

Rgds Martin.

RE: Major Hawk pilot error!
 

Hi Martin, I wish I was.

I've booked in to the Nats so will park the Sprint up after three more flights last night.

Even if I could make it it's too late for me to book in at this late hour.

Next season should be a bit different, I hope to have at least two scale models ready as I have all but lost interest in props, the Sprint now has 54 flights on it's log so I'm almost a qualified jetjockey now!

Will probably go to Hucknall though, is there anything else coming up the year? Have an F16 almost ready as well as the Hawk.

That's exactly what I said it was. [sm=biggrin.gif]

Not exactly that, But a little spill "Funnel fell off of the top of the jug while poring jet fuel. Running into the yard. I tried to hose it down still browned the grass...

RE: Major Hawk pilot error!
 

Hmmmmm, Nobody would say jack to me about it because if they did the first words out of my mouth would be "did you plant this grass, water it, mow it, or take care of it in any way?" and that would be the end of that conversation.

But thats just me....

Major Hawk pilot error! ???

I was expecting a huge crash, you tease.

Don't worry about the lawn, the winter moss will soon exploit that niche.

Tell the Mrs it's "fire" ants nests. ;)

RE: Major Hawk pilot error!
 

LOL, i just did the same:)

Next time start it in the kitchen...she'll be glad you started it outside!

Personally I always run my engines on the drive to avoid such problems. It does give passers by a bit of a shock some times. Small cars have been known to veer off the road, horse bolted etc. But the upside is a perfect lawn.
On an entirely different subject, does any one know of a good discrete car refinisher in the area?

RE: Major Hawk pilot error!
 

No kidding. Approx 1oz green food color to 1gal water in a pump sprayer. You can color match with a little blue or yellow added. Golf courses do it out here to cover small bad spots while waiting for them to green-up.</p> 

RE: Major Hawk pilot error!
 

same here, I thought it would be a certain skygate hawk landing!!

RE: Major Hawk pilot error!
 

Aw, come on Dunc, my flying ain't nowhere near that bad!
