How about loading up the car, then driving the van to the field?

[miskin]

Well the one that springs to mind is ..
Me and my buddy went flying in our lunch break we had to drive 10 minutes up the road to the field , we get there park up had the flights all went well then packed up and headed back. 5 minutes down the road i stopped for the traffic lights and i heard the wierd noise scrapping along the roof of my car as soon as the noise stopped a FF9 TX appeared and went crashing to the floor i jumped out to find it in bits and beyond repair.

Turned out to be my buddys TX mine was on the back seat along with the heli
thats been the most costly mistake he has ever made and he dont plan on doing it again..

had my new model, took it to the field to test fly it, forgot my blades, also today, took off and did a piro flip without turning my govener on

[Dedcalm]

Forgetting to flick into idle up before going inverted is my most recent dumb moment.

I did this with my 1st attempt at a back flip... the feeling of dread as you push in the -ve and the governor disengages was not an experience I want to repeat again... heli did survive the ordeal though!

Driving to a flying site with a glow plank meeting a mate there and forgetting the fuel pump was broken and finding the mate had only brought a lecky plank with him... had to blow fuel into the planks tank (not kidding!) only could be bothered to have 1 flight as a result

[inferno]

Todays stupidness involved fitting one main blade upside down on the atom after setting up the esc, then pondering for ten minute over all the 'electrical problems' that might cause it to hop n fart around!

Forgetting to set up the esc two hours before hand left me wondering what was causing the heli to cut out on hovering point!

Heli came home in one piece though

[JohnJ]

Some brilliant moments of pure comedy among this lot, pleased most occurrences were just "Infuriating" but no one hurt so we live to fly another day, even if our heli's and equipment didn't

Thurday evening I flw my 600 with the pins disengaged on the washout after changing a mian gear. Phasing about 30 degrees out - the tick tocks were so bad they were similar to the ones I did at the Milton Keynes comp!
