Evil.Bonsai Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Loaded up 'serpent head' and had to wait for stupid plane to get off taxi way, then had to wait for 3 Hinds to land. Started takeoff roll, just rotated and boooosh, there goes left engine, plane starts canting left and right engine goes (? not sure at this point as I was still 'flying'). Can't keep nose up and hit ground hard. Then exploded as I hit a retaining wall. Ok. That was interesting. Let's try this again. re-load, startup, taxi. A little too fast on taxi. took eyes away from hud, plane veered off taxi, look up and WAY over-correct, slam left wing into ground. Bye bye wing. Sigh. Guess I'll just go read a book on this rainy Sunday.
chaos Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Group-hug everybody! Tomorrow is a brand new day. You can do it, I'm sure! ;) "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."
CarneyUK Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Concentration...practice...concentration......practice :D You'll get there in the end! Anyway, could have been worse....could have just completed your first perfect mission then crashed on landing..I've done that before, very annoying LOL :doh: "The sky is not the limit.....it's my playground!!" @paraglidecass
hassata Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 I love how if you don't put in the time at least once every two days, it all goes pear-shaped. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
joey45 Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Everyone has a bad day.... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Evil.Bonsai Posted October 9, 2011 Author Posted October 9, 2011 Definitely pear-shaped. Third try got me airborne, then some type of mouse driver/usb issue where cursor kept moving to bottom of screen. Reboot didn't help. Had to unplug all usb items then plug them all back in. Fourth try and I lost wp 5, ended up inverted coming out of clouds almost into mountain, made it through valley. Acquired bunker with tad, spi'd it, was going for tgp to fine tune aimpoint but too slow, overflew then shot down by 3 Iglas. :joystick::huh::joystick::pilotfly::huh:
