Pitts bites it.


Time of death : believed to be sometime in Sept 2009.

Flying out back of the shop can be rewarding. But when your radio goes bad there's nothing rewarding about that.

Top That! TREX600E bites the mud??


TOD (Time of Death) 13:35 12/24/2009

Above is the crash site, that is smoke from the battery in the lower right of the picture.

Demolish
Pronunciation: \di-ˈmä-lish\
Function: transitive verb
1 a : tear down, raze b : to break to pieces : smash
2 a : to do away with : destroy b : to strip of any pretense of merit or credence
— de·mol·ish·er noun
— de·mol·ish·ment \-lish-mənt\ noun



I, (referred to as the demolisher from this point on), was flying my TREX600CF (referred to as the demolishment from that point on) on Christmas eve , coming out of a tail slide with a lot of speed, rolled it upside down and prio it coming left to right. Then I think to myself, prio flip on the move, yeah that would be cool. Mind you I've never done that before. The results are self explanatory as the demolisher, demolished the demolishment.

Just goes to show ya, start talking about cashing and it will happen.


Merry Xmas all!! 12/24/09.

Winter Flying has it's issues.



Winter flying causes this lgo to go down near Fruitland. Trying out some different gloves to try and keep them fingers warm. The gloves turned out to be too thick and awkward so this pilot literally fat fingered the throttle hold switch. It happened so fast that the pilot was kind of dumbfounded and didn’t set up for an auto so it went straight in.
