It cut off in a inverted Harrier,,,,, it had a 3W150 in it, go figure, so I rolled it back rightside up and it hit the top of a tree and fell down through it and finished up in a 6 foot high underbrush weed bed,,, BELIEVE it or not,, the only damage was a couple of 1 inch dents in the leading edge,,, NOTHING ELSE was damaged, I couldn't believe it, we have pics of me in the damn brush trying to disassemble that beast, when it hit the tree, it sounded like it exploded, I thought it tore it all to pieces,,

Ok, I guess I can post some more pics from the Summer Sizzler event at the coast this weekend.

Friday night included Dustin's wizardry with the beer can as seen previously and even more amazing tricks with the ever-present foamies in a dimly lit parking lot next to the hotel.

Here's our boy Larry with his resurrected (again!) Insane Yak doing it's thing. After the parking lot connection we coached him into last Sunday, the now less-than-perfect bearings made his outrunner sound like a recip engine! But he was certainly getting on with it.

He likes to say "I love this hobby!" and gave the 'ole girl a hovering kiss to prove his affection. I don't think he trimmed any hair in the process....

... Jay was nearby hovering his newest flagship and it decided it wanted some love from Larry, too. Since I haven't figured out how to take photos and fly at the same time, my Yak waits on the sidelines.

You know how they have "stupid pet tricks" on Letterman? How about the "headstand" or the "Yak-in-the-cap"?
