Farmer_Dave Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) This one's a bit dramatic and serves to remind us all to allow as much runway as possible before takeoff. It kind of reminded me of a party somewhere and is probably the fate that awaited me if I hadn't called it.

Guest Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 wow who was that , who ever it was he was very lucky, and crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_andrews Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 hehe You know it was a rough launch when you have to circle and ask those on the ground if everything's "all good?". He might had cleared it had he managed his energy a little better, he was deep in the brakes long before he needed to pop over the fence and tentative on the throttle. He's lucky he didn't frontal after the fence induced surge. Quite a show. BTW Dave your post has a trailing youtube wrapper or it would have shown up. If you edit and paste that right after the vid link it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcs Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 my fourth flight was about an inch away from the same fate, a friend of mine did the same thing and drilled his face into the ground at the other side of the fence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer_Dave Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 No it weren't me Lee. Wouldn't say I'm infalible though. Something might happen one day. Made a couple of 12 metre skid marks on an accidental downwind landing is the worst so far. The wind on the landing field was opposite to 2 chimneys worth of smoke nearby. --kin mystery that was. Malcs. Got any video of your mate doing that ? dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 If it hadn't been a Flat Top the cage would probably have destroyed the prop and left him on his face eating rocks and grass eh Dave? .... Not his best decision of the day I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgy Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 good job he was going down hill otherwise i think he would have been eating dirt.... If you pause it at 13sec's his head is hitting the netting as the motor is pushed right up his back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
