Hand caught landing
« on: August 03, 2011, 03:00:52 PM »
As it says, hand caught landing, while you still have the goggle on

Best for planes with props at the rear :)

Gonna need some balls for this one :)

I've had the same Skywalker for FPV for two years now. It's had 6 new wings, 3 new canopies and 2 new fuselages.

Hi Coyote, I just read you gridlines agen for uploading videos, so perhaps this challenge may not be appropriate, :o
as soon as someone posts it, and keeps their fingers, they may have the video removed. :laugh:
 :)G

Safe flying only, no stunts or dangerous acts endangering property, people or vehicles.

And infringments of the rules will have video deleted from this section immediately.

No mention of dogs though... does a "mouth" count as "hand"? :D

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Lol, a hand caught landings hardly against any law G. I would hope that the attepting pilot has the good sense to not stand in a bunch of people while trying it and has esc motor brake "on"

Mine doesn't count because I don't have goggles on but it certainly confused my Dad as he's on final approach and then suddenly everything stopped and he was looking at my ugly mug!

This is going to be hard....
in fact I don't think it can be done..... FPV with goggles on and catching the plane.

It's going to end in tears I can tell !
