Title: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: McDRacing on January 02, 2014, 02:54:47 PM Oh no! well at least we made it to January 2nd.
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on January 02, 2014, 06:18:11 PM Oh Hell - I lost another Lanier Mariner. That's number 4, and they are no longer in production. Guess I'll have to find another flying boat for Merle's "Float Flys". And of course the engine, as you will notice, is not on the pieces that Jake recovered for me. It's at the bottom of Lake Hennessey!!!

Paul Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on January 29, 2014, 11:50:06 AM Well the McDonalds are still at it. Jake takes 'em down any way he can. He's made more streamer cuts than anyone else with the guts to tie one their plane. Then he take his Dad "OUT" period. ;D
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on January 29, 2014, 11:55:07 AM Julio had a bad day-too! Then a few days later he had another not so good day. ???
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on February 13, 2014, 09:06:39 PM A bad day at the field today. Not only lost one but TWO nice planes today. First- a Great Planes Super Decathlon. Not very good maners on the ground. Got it airborn tooooooo quick. Not enough air speed. We all know what happens then, eh! The vinyard ate it!! :-[
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on February 13, 2014, 09:12:59 PM Then my beautifull Hangar Nine P-40 went in!! :( All I can figure is the control rod on the elevator came out of the clevis at the servo, then I had massive flutter (as I was at full throttle) and half of the elevator blew off. Can't do much with no elevator, so the vinyarad got that one too!! :-\

Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: Doug Moore on April 06, 2014, 06:42:36 PM Preparing for next Sundays float-fly, Julio was practicing water landings today!
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: PTKohlmann on May 18, 2014, 07:24:01 PM Well it was a good run while it lasted. I went for almost two years without a catastrophic crash. Until this morning. I impact tested at least two posts in the vineyard with my freshly painted Bf109 in the first heat of the pylon race today. Oh well, guess I wasn't really ready to move up yet. ;D
Paul Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on May 18, 2014, 09:33:02 PM :( BUMMER
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: McDRacing on May 19, 2014, 09:11:58 PM It's fixable! Get the glue out and keep racing!
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: McDRacing on June 05, 2014, 01:30:37 PM They got me!!!
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: McDRacing on June 16, 2014, 08:16:57 AM Sorry Mike I had to post a pic of your plane!
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on June 16, 2014, 11:25:37 AM :( Damn - It that the one that was in the trash can a while back, or is that another one?
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: McDRacing on June 16, 2014, 01:10:28 PM It's the same, but different!
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: PTKohlmann on June 16, 2014, 04:32:35 PM Sweet! I've been wanting one of those big planes but my car is small. But now that I know that the tail comes off . . . .
Koh Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on June 16, 2014, 04:42:27 PM LOL - Good one Paul
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on June 23, 2014, 03:54:32 PM Poor ole "War Weary" T-28 will race no more! :(
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: PTKohlmann on June 23, 2014, 10:57:17 PM Oh no! That can't be the end!
But what about the other guy? Did you crop Jason out? You two looked pretty well intermingled;) Koh Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on June 24, 2014, 07:45:46 AM It was Jeff Penner that took me out. But, he went down too. I think he's fixable, though.
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: PTKohlmann on June 26, 2014, 07:21:29 AM Oops--my bad. I just remembered that it was two of the white ones.
Koh Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on July 04, 2014, 06:49:01 PM Dern - I didn't get a picture of my Super Sportster while it was floating in the Lake. Soooooo I took one on my work table while I am putting things back together. She will fly again.
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on July 04, 2014, 06:50:50 PM And now I can see the fuel tank again! :-\
Title: Re: 2014 Aircraft obituary thread Post by: tall n skinny on July 20, 2014, 03:44:08 PM :( A bad day at the races :-\
