Daryl,
I totally understand your position and the positions all have taken
with regard to full size aircraft. We all need to be more aware,
and if possible, communicate these items to our club members and on,
eventually getting to pilots out there who are not easily reached
through standard methods. Reminds me of the "Six
Degrees of Kevin Bacon".
I would also like to add one note for you not to get too upset with
the pilot standing in line behind you on the flight line when you break
the 250 pound test winchlines with your huge Insanity 3.7 and it comes
screaming back over our heads. The next time the line breaks I
might expect the CD (or pilot/competitor) to say, hey dude, we provide
perfectly good winches, which you take beyond expectations, so fly it
out.
There are always sides to take, some more dangerous and expensive,
and we all must be aware.
Chris

I'm sorry people. I didn't mean to stir up this much
[EMAIL PROTECTED] When it happened, I really didn't think much of
it. Just a flash of a toy airplane, "damn that was
close...what the [EMAIL PROTECTED] is that doing there?" and I
continued with my 25 degree bank base to final turn.
Ya see....I was kinda busy at the time. I didn't get
pissed until after...
I don't know how close that hill is to the end of the
runway 25R. At 120 kts, it sure seems pretty close.
The first time I went in there, my thought was, "What
an odd place to put a hill..." It is EXACTLY where I
would normally turn base.
Ya see, I have just replaced my windshield at 12K, and
a new engine at 70K. I doubt our infamous Zagi pilot
has insurance that will cover stupidity, or my
wrongful but somewhat pleasing death (for some of
you)... Or... if he'd even be there when I returned to
kick his a@@... ;-)
I was just sending a note to ask some of us to use our
heads.
Take care and please be smart...
