style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>There was an old saw about pilots
who had landed gear up this reminds me of: "There are two types of
pilots--those that have landed gear up and those that are <em><i><font

And then a few--well actually <em><i><font face=Verdana><span style='font-family:
Verdana'>many</span></font></i></em> years ago--there was another article in
FLYING by a guy who had landed gear up for the second time... So he
changed it to: "There are <em><i><font face=Verdana><span
style='font-family:Verdana'>three</span></font></i></em> types of pilots--those
that have, those that are going to--and those that are going to <em><i><font

<br>
I lost a perfect Tipo 750 way back and a nice Temptation more recently by
not plugging in the ailerons and was distracted both times during assembly--and
not wiggling the surfaces prior to take-off.<br>

and because I altered my normal habits. I normally have my neck strap tucked
into my shirt starting the airplane, but this morning I simply clipped it onto
the Tx while it was sitting on the ground. Started my primary Black
Magic, had it sitting on idle, picked up my Tx and somehow turned the Tx funny
such that the strap bumped the throttle…enough to make the plane jump forward
startling me. In the split second that I moved to catch it, the strap moved
the throttle higher and before I could recover it, it slammed the wing into the
table next to me hard enough to snap the entire fuselage into two pieces.

I’ve picked up my tx 1000 times without incident, but seldom do I have the

go VERY wrong, VERY fast. Be careful, be methodical, and don’t change
