Lancair...alas no more :(
« on: June 18, 2012, 14:06:20 PM »
I am not flyin too much these days and the fuppin gremlins are all over my workshop.

Got out to shannon yesterday for a rare flight and i took out my Lancair and my twin engine Harmony.

Noticed the lancair had a broken spat...took it off.
Lancair first flight something was buzzing... landed...??? nothing loose???
Next flight spinner shatters in flight and falls into the trees....oh well landed and no real harm done.
Switched to Harmony... battery dead.... bummer!!! battery in bin plane in van.
Back to Lancair for 3rd flight of the day... all going well then i get a tiny glimpse of yellow in the corner of my eye....SMASH!!!! mid air collision with shanes(club member) beautiful Flair kit Texan... AAARRGGHHH!!! 2 irreplaceable scale models wiped out in an instant. Bummer central.
I tell ya .... you take your eye off your models and your workshop for any length of time the them fuppin gremlins will be all over you.. lol ;)

d.
At least we walk towards our crashes and not run screaming from them ;)

And then the wheel of fortune turns....

Just got a call from a supplier who informed me that they have been double billing me for 12 months.... 8 grand rebate coming back this week.

Kinda just got over the loss of my lovely lancair... ;)

LOL.
