Some time the flying gods just plain spit on you

Went to fly today for the first time in nearly 7 years. Got to the field, unloaded the plane, unloaded my tool box, grabed the jug of fuel and...

Promptly dropped the jug of fuel through the wing of my plane

Repairs already under way, but gee whiz! What does a guy need to do to put up one stinking flight! Oh well, at least it was my battered RM. It's seen worse. Far worse....

Yes the RM is ok, but did the fuel survive?

Well, after rolling under several cars, the fuel survived. What a freakin nightmare!

An old man I once worked with told me: "You know, it could be worse".
And sure enough he was right because it got worse!

My Pap-pap often said "If it isn't one thing, it's two". Oh well, I'll have repairs complete before sunrise at least

Sorry to hear about the accident. I'm facing some bonehead accidents in the future myself, as a returning CL man. I'm building a Brodak Nobler right now, using a Saito 4 cycle engine. Things are going well, but at night I think about raider mice in the shop, chomping away! Or a neighbor kids basketball coming through the shop window. And all this before the flight!

Ya sometimes I think Stunt Flyers are a bit sadistic. Think about it.. You spend the better part of a year and invest hundreds of dollars building and finishing a disposable Stunt Ship. One little gust of wind or a flame out in the wrong place and it's all gone.

Repairs complete! I'll try again tomorrow if the weather holds...

I think it's a very nice looking Ringmaster. Some might say, however, that the fuel happening was just nature's way, Darwinism at work, etc.
