    Not today. Will be too dark by time I would be able to go out anyway.

    Can't wait to get out tomorrow though. Not been out for 3 weeks and getting serious withdrawal symptoms.

        No flying today for me, I have loads of wires to re-route to fit a new governor in.
        But if I did have the time some silly superstition would'nt stop me.

            Im the same not superstitious in the slightest, would fly if I was able.

            one thing though I do find the reasons for some of these superstitions interesting, anyone know the reason for why friday the 13th is concidered unlucky?

            I dont, just wondered
            All the best

                  Goes back to when the Knights Templars were a massive force in Europe. The Pope was jealous, and arranged for them to be arrested all on the same day - Friday 13th. He then had them tortured till they admitted blasphemy, etc., and most of them were killed. Fun, huh?

                    I'm very superstitious, sometimes I've been know to write on the wall,
                    Yes I'm very superstitious, sometimes I think that ladders are about to fall,
                    I hear that once a thirteen month old baby looked into the mirror and broke it
                    Following which he suffered seven years of bad luck and the good things were in his past

                    I reckon that if you believe in things that you dont understand that you will suffer
                    Superstition is just not the way!

                          There's a lot of writing on the laws of attraction which might suggest some of the logic behind how people experience what they might consider to be bad luck on a given date.

                          The laws of attraction state that if you think about something enough, then it will come to pass. The reasons why are perhaps the more interesting side of things. If you devote your every thought to becoming a good 3d pilot for example then you're more inclined to research and practise whats required.

                          Equally if you say I don't want 'x' to happen then you'll be focussed on the thing you don't want rather than the outcome of it not happening.

                          Think of it as going out and saying to yourself: "I really don't want to crash, I can't afford it this month..." then your mind is fixed on crashing rather than flying, so instead say: "I'm going to have a great flight today..." and theoretically, your mind is geared towards a good flight rather than the possible negative outcome.

                          There's a few quotes from Goethe that illustrate it really well:

                          Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.
                          Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

                          Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.
                          Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

                            i had a flight in the garden when i got home. had a few slight wobbles but managed to bring the heli back inside in one piece so was happy.
                            Thanks

                              The power of sports phychology...
                              If you beleive you will win, then it doesn't matter that for some of the time you are second because you wil win in the end.
                              If you don't have that belief then even if you have the ability whne you find yourself in first place its quite likely to end up going wrong and "bad luck" is likely to rob you of victory.
                              There are amny ways to control your mood and they are suprisingly effective. If you can remember a time when you were in the desired mood - and then go through the same ritual that got you there then you can arrive very close to that winning mood again. Thus taking the mascot with you, holding the charm in your lefthand, kissing the charm just before the start of the race - all those seeming superstitious rituals all have a definate and real purpose.
                              Look close at those olympic sprinters, those swimmers, shooters, archers, skiiers - they are all working through their build up rituals and training their minds to that right state of confidence and concentration that will enable the maximum performance.

                              So in short - "I think i might crash becuase its friday the 13th" is not going to end happily. My brother was 13 years old on friday the 13th....
