Title: Runway prop strike- Mea Culpa!
Post by: Frank v B on May 19, 2019, 04:04:38 PM
Put a gash in the runway yesterday when the Denight Special (60 size) nosed over on the first take-off attempt.  I alerted Graham last night with a picture and he was going to patch it for today's jet event.  Thank you Graham.

As punishment, I just bought a roll of extra-wide Gorilla tape for TEMAC, mostly as a payment for this tear but also pre-payment for my future mishaps.

I figured this donation was cheaper than trying to bribe all the people at the field who saw me do it. ;D  The photo of me holding the plane was taken by Mark Satin before the maiden attempt.

Thank you for the patch Graham.  The new Gorilla tape will require 1/3 fewer strips to do a repair.

The repair crew was hard at work today before the teaching evening.
