Stupidity Reins
« on: January 26, 2008, 09:54:44 AM »
While putitng controls in my new Grinder wing I put pushrod and controlhorn on wrong side. Luckily I would have to give this plane to Shultzie but I was able to take it apart and turn things around or this plane would have been going the wrong way. Now if Shultzie would have been here I am sure he would have made me leave it that way so he could have talked me into giving that plane to him. So solly Don. It was close to building a new wing. n~ HB~> HB~> HB~>
I probably will get a lot of ribbing over this near miss so am getting ear muffs out. DK^

Leo, you could've just put the landing gear and canopy so they're coming out the top- then flip the plane over!

Or...  just stand on your head while you're flying!

Just tell them you fly anti-anti-clockwise.

Would have been great if he had finished it that way and got to the field.  I can still remember my brother getting ready to hook up a set of lines for test flight on a rat racer.  The plane didn't make it home.  That is why I tried my best to never upset him.  DOC Holliday

Well I could have built another wing and am sure I wouldn't have any trouble getting rid of the other one. What goes around comes around/ If I recall that same thing happened before and is the reason I am flying clockwise, Sometimes I worry about myself. HB~> HB~> HB~> HB~> HB~> HB~> HB~>
