How hard man do. Yeaaah. Video responses here.

Yeah but you're a good sport and you fly better then me or Wesse! Cheer up buddy! We still love ya!!

Hey Fiddy,

I agree that pepper looked too round to be a Habenero, but it's not the color that tells the tale, it's the shape.

Habenero's can be green, before they're ripe, and orange or red when ripe. They can also be a whiteish color, brown or even pink.

The first pic appears to be what they sold you as a habenero, the second pic is a shot of red habenero's.

Thanks Boulder!

The habanero pic looks a lot like what I used to grow. It's been a while though and I would have to agree that these were cherry's that I bought. as I remember, habaneros would burn your skin. The cherries that I bought didn't have much flesh that was hot.(like the cherries that I grew as well) My cherries turned orange and the habaneros turned red for some reason......(no they didn't cross polinate)

Oh well. I hope ya'll enjoyed the video. I guess I was biting off more than I could chew. Anyone want to have a Yapaleno eat off at the Nall?????

Thanks dude.

[Al Lewis]

Bummer dude!!! I hope ya didn't hurt it too bad! Always hate to see a good plane go in. I finally got my first flight of the year today. Ended up with a deadstick on close final so I got it down fine. Didn't even try anything fancy though. Just flying circles! LOL

The wing is folded and I don't know if I'm goign to be able to rebuild it. My initial thought is that I was hit. I've had problems on my frequency here before, but never been able to figure them out. On review of the video, maybe I stalled it.

Oh well. Whatever the cause, life moves on

give you hard bug when a se you on the nall

I crash all my plane whole the time and I am happy yet ...opps think on Bills plane

[mikedannielle]

Nice try 50 . Great flying though. I hope you can fix it.

[FireFighterFSFD]

Ok 50 I would vote you in on the count of your efforts. that gives a whole new meaning to the phrase crash and burn. or in you case i guess we could say burn and crash. hope its not damaged to bad. it looked repairable. even if you do dtrip your gear out of it keep the plane and maybe later tear in to it. its now a free plane so you can be even more brave with it once it has been crash and revived.

[lomchevac]

That really does suck but like you said life does go on. Nice flying.

If sombody is really up for the challenge why not go for the hottest pepper in the world?

Bhut Jolokia =

The Bhut Jolokia is officially the World's Hottest Pepper rated at an inferno like 1,001,304 Scoville heat units, according to the Guinness World Records. Guinness confirmed, with the help of Dr. Paul Bosland, a professor and noted chili breeder at New Mexico State University, that the Bhut Jolokia, also known as the Naga jolokia or Tezpur pepper, is the world's hottest chili pepper.
The Bhut Jolokia is a naturally occurring chili, part of the Capsicum Chinense species, which also contains the habanero and red savina. Bhut Jolokia is native to the Assam region of north eastern India. These intestine burning peppers have been tested by scientists in America and Inda as being about twice the heat of the previous record holder - the Red Savina.
HABANERO PEPPERS

Habaneros are green in color and ripen one of numerous colors including red, orange, salmon, white, chocolate... depending on the variety. Their average size is 1 to 2 1/2 inches long, 1 to 2 inches in diameter and they are lantern-shaped, round or oblong. Technically, their species name is Capsicum Chinense Jacquin. Habaneros are the hottest chile peppers and rate around 200,000 - 300,000 Scoville Units.
Habanero means from Havana and is an extremely hot pepper believed to originally have been taken to the Yucatan Peninsula from Cuba. About 1,500 tons of habaneros are harvested each year in the Yucatan. They are also grown to a lesser extent in Belize, Costa Rica, Texas and California.
GNS Spices of Southern California has developed the Red Savina habanero which had been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's hottest spice up to 580,000 scoville units! Red Savina Habaneros were the hottest peppers there on earth until the mighty Bhut Jolokia came along!

SCOTCH BONNET

The habanero is not the same pepper as the Scotch Bonnet They are of the same species but the Scotch Bonnet is not a Cultivar. The Scotch Bonnet has a different shape - one which closely resembles a Scot's bonnet - so it is very easy to differentiate the two. The Scotch Bonnet grows mainly in the Caribbean islands while the habanero grows mainly in Latin and North American. The flavor of the two, however, is very similar as is their heat level.

SCOVILLE UNITS

Scoville units are the units used to rate the heat of peppers. The Scoville unit was named after Wilbur L. Scoville who first tried to measure the heat of peppers in 1912. Wilbur was a pharmacologist for the Parke-Davis Company.
His original test consisted of a panel of tasters who would systematically taste a solution of chile extract and slightly sweetened water for detectable heat. They tried to determine how much the chile extract needed to be diluted before it no longer had a detectable heat sensation.
A typical Jalapeno pepper is about 4,500 Scoville units. This means that 4,500 parts of sugar water are required to dilute one part Jalapeno extract until its heat can no longer be felt. Dilute it any further and you would not be able to taste any hotness.
As you can imagine, this testing method was highly subjective and is no longer used. However, chile heat is still given in Scoville units. Today, high-pressure liquid chromatography machines measure a pepper's heat. Although this method takes out the guess work, it only rates the heat of the sample pepper being tested, and not the absolute fire power of every chile in that variety. Climate, soil, weather, geography and harvest time all affect how hot a pepper can be.

Great thread!!! WESSE!! Please post the video of the honey dipper in this thread, I've heard about it but missed it!
