Runway prop strike- Mea Culpa!

[Frank v B]

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.   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.
