flyby fail YouTube - guy gets hit by a plane!!

#1 was cool, but #3 involved 2 pairs of brass balls - so that takes the cake.

oops! make sure you watch the vid http://www.wbir.com/video/default.aspx?bctid=71783729001#/Local+News/Web+Extra%3A+10+News+camera+captures+car+drive+into+rockslide/44024439001/39627146001/71783729001

helmet without HANS makes the neck problem worse.

should've done some plastic surgery on the way too :leaving:

honestly a 5 point harness won't help much (compared to a modern shoulder belt / air bag) in a frontal crash either, unless you wear a hans device. There is no give in these belts. and our cars aren't really made to crumble in any particular direction. Not good for your neck.

Given the choice, I'd much rather go the way he did.

Brother's comment

:sadangel: this is the first fatal seven crash I've seen

:grouphug:

If only it was so easy.

actually on this site, i'd say we have about 20% who built their own car, probably another 30% who assembled a kit. The rest are purchased. Welcome aboard.

spotted this on the DC beltway

:willy_nilly: how can you stand the wait?

yeah, crazy stuff. If you paid me a million, you might get me to walk that path.

:iagree: nice work

No seal, glassing, or mylar - just a carbon fiber spar in the wing. That's not a Potomac workbench. It's a North Potomac workbench (it's wood, not slate) LOL

Yup, i discovered this last night. On the next attempt, I will control both sides of the wire.

Every hobby builds upon past experience. My next 7 will have a rudder on its wing. LOL

That was good... 88% on first try, 100% on 2nd.

Man, I'm sucked into this hobby hard :willy_nilly: Experimented with some foam cutting last night and made my first wing today. I'm using my battery charger, some coil wire off a $2 roll at radio shack, a plank of wood and a screw as the foam cutter. I'll invest some more time in making it more permanent now that I know it does a good job with cutting large cross sections. The surface texture of this wing is nearly perfect. very smooth. I does have a bit of curve to it because I wasn't holding it down enough. Here are a few pics, and my assistant. http://www.astarasoftware.com/images/rcstuff/wing1.jpg http://www.astarasoftware.com/images/rcstuff/wing2.jpg http://www.astarasoftware.com/images/rcstuff/wing3.jpg
