I believe his friend (sorry I can't recall his name right now) was demonstrating the shock absorbency of the landing gear on his apprentice at the time.


;D


That's what training night is all about!

Actually @Michael and @thehaze   if you look more closely you will see they are waiting their turn, the TX's are not in use just being held.


Jack.

Correct, at the time we were admiring the work of another student, so  I can't take credit for Bobby's face expression in the photo.
As a matter of fact Bobby was quite bored with my series of infinite circles - it turns out you can fly the Apprentice for full 20 minutes on a single battery (I discharged 3 of them last night....).

With that said, I do take credit for super-bounce gear-wrenching landing. I was trying to wake up my instructor  ;)

 :P  They say a picture is worth a thousand words but interpreting it is probably more :)
