Floatflyer and Rob (and M7flyer in the background) called from a field radio bounced off a satellite to harass me and said some pretty off-color things, mainly dealing with tequila and margarita boobs. Then Ford insulted my guns. These guys should not be allowed to hang out together.

Is that a lancair or a Columbia/Corvalis?

It must be a whole nother level of heart break when you crash something you built because you can't just go by another one.

Imagine spending 2-4000 hours building a perfect lancair only to destroy it in a crash. #-o

Ouch!
