Default woodbutcher meet cone, cone woodbutcher.

Yes our very own woodbutcher took out a cone on his first landing at his very first IMAC event and wiped out a 3 bladed carbon fiber prop. It was a site to see for sure. He was on his landing approach when the cone "jumped" out about four feet (according to the butcher), According to onlookers the cone never moved. You have both side of the story you can make your own optinion. WACK right into the cone and the plane nosed over a bit.. All i can say is that cone will pay for that i am sure. More to come I am sure... See ya all around...

He called and told me that the cone had been giving him "dirty looks" all day!

Well Update, Kent Porter has allowed Butcher to borrow a prop of of his 3w 157.. I say the prop maybe a little tainted but butcher assures us he will only use it today. Then promptly return it to its orginal engine... I am think he may brake it on purpose so another 3w wont be able to fly...
