hello again, ok good news! i'm out! like the hockey player i skated off and flew away. All is well. The lessons to be learned in aviation are amazing. I snowboard through tight trees on steep terrian looking for the best flight at 20kts or better with only basic disregard for my life but flying an airplane as if its strapped to you like a snowboard or pair of skies is completely amazing! peter

If you don't mind, I'd like to feature a photo on the homepage. I hate to make light of a guy's misfortunes, but it's pretty entertaining for us desk jockeys. Congrats on getting it out.

All's well that ends with your bird back home!! Congratulations! Now, don't those trusty 31's deserve an encore of dirt and grass before you have to return 'em? I'd say they've earned it!

Good on 'ya!

Better yet... throw the 8:50s in the back and fly the 31s home... there's a whole world of playgrounds were those 31s came from :wink:

Wup, did you have a film crew present... what a great commercial opportunity... 8)

Good for you Peter, Be Safe

OK, so no pics for now. Will somebody tell me how you got it out? A helicopter was mentioned, or I misunderstood.
