Default MADMAX SMASHES PYTHON!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, guys as I'm going to be out of the country for the next several weeks and possibly out of net access, I thought I would go ahead and write the news about Max's first flight on the Python. I know all of you guys on staff have written me in a panic that Max will no doubt smash this plane, not to mention how many members have also expressed deep concern over letting Max go fly this thoroughbred. Obviously he has no business flying such a finely tuned airframe, but let's not ad pressure to the situation!


What we SHOULD do is put him in a VERY controlled environment and let the inevitable happen. Take him to the biggest wide open field you can find, allow no other people but one spotter/wreckage cleaner to be at the field. This should be a very short "flight" . As such there should be no cameras allowed. As I see it here's what will happen; take off, go to 3D rates, hover,,,,,,,SMASH!!!! No problem.

I'll leave the variables for you guys to fill in, BUT DO NOT POST THIS THREAD UNTIL AFTER MAX SMASHES THE PLANE INTO A BILLION PIECES.

NEWS FLASH!!! MADMAX SMASHES PYTHON!!!!!!

Sadly. after Momo buys Max a wonderful Christmas gift and countless flying friends offer build assistance, the Python was sadly lost on it's _______ flight. The airplane was loaded up and taken to ______________ field for the big test flight. MadMAx assisted by _______ _________ carefully checked everything involved for a safe and successful test flight. All systems go, Max taxied the plane and noted the ground handling was ____________ . He lined the plane into the wind and goosed the DA 100. HE then ________________________ the plane and tested for _________________ . At that point he felt comfortable with the plane and _______________________ . Everything was looking good until _________________________________ . Max attempted to ____________________________ but it was simply too low and too _______________________ .


The only part that looked salvageable was the __________________ . But further inspection revealed that _______________________________ . Max was quoted as saying "______________________ "and that next time he'll "____________ ". Momo was not available for comment.

Again, DO NOT POST THIS THREAD UNTIL AFTER HE CRASHES THE PLANE!!! What we will need to do is research! We need to get Max back in the saddle as quickly as possible, but what we need to do next time is to make sure he has a plane that can be flown in his skill/comfort zone. Can somebody research something like a Nerf ball that's attached to a soft fabric parachute with an electric motor/soft foam propeller ? It should be a single channel thing that's either motor on or motor off, NO OTHER CONTROLS PLEASE!! In order to not mess with Max's chi, let's name the thing something like 3D BLOOD THIRSTY KILLER or TOTALLY RADICAL PARA-HUCKER or something to that tune.

I think I've posted this in the thingy that doesn't post stuff until the doo dad thing is activated. Might want to check me on that.

NEWS FLASH!!! MADMAX SMASHES PYTHON!!!!!!

Sadly. after Momo buys Max a wonderful Christmas gift and countless flying friends offer build assistance, the Python was sadly lost on it's _first_ flight. The airplane was loaded up and taken to __A desert___ field for the big test flight. MadMAx assisted by __QQ_____ _and officials for the darwin award__ carefully checked everything involved for a safe and successful test flight. All systems go, Max taxied the plane and noted the ground handling was _Slightly rough seeing how the tail wheel was transformed ito make it a tricyle gear set up like the trainers before_ so he pointed the plane into the wind and goosed the DA 100. HE then __did a harrier rolling cirlce followed by a one roll rolling circle, hover, invrted flight 1 inch off the ground, a lomchevac that touched the wing tips on the ground followed by the 2008 unlimited class imac pattern, followed by a blinder that had his rudder touching the tip of his hat, finishing up by setting off the fireworks that were on_ the plane and tested for __its possibilitys for the worlds next must have plane___ . At that point he felt comfortable with the plane and __let max get out of the truck__ . Everything was looking good until __they were handing off the tx and dropped the radio__ . Max attempted to _pick it up __ but it was simply too low and too _quickly heading for its certain future of fire wood_ .


The only part that looked salvageable was the _the rudder__ . But further inspection revealed that _max had stepped on it while looking for the motor deep down in the crater it left___ . Max was quoted as saying "__That was too much like when i have sex__ "and that next time he'll "_try to make it last longer than 2 seconds__ ". Momo was not available for comment.


Just joking max I really hope it turns out good. I got faith in ya

Maybe I'm out of the loop but if memory serves Max has only crashed one of his OWN airplanes. An old 50cc extra.Countless prop strikes at one time he had a garden of broken props. The first Edge got shot down (Anybody on 51?) and the second Edge he fell on. Foam does not count...Somebody correct me please..Nobody likes busting Maxs balls more than me but credit where credit is due right?

LOL Biff, I wish you a safe trip. Hopefully when you come back if you come back alive (Max has many supporters overseas that can potentially bust you for what you did) we will have the blanks filled out.

Take care dude,
Reza
