river adventure

[wannafly]

I have been inspired by all the posts and pictures so here is my latest. Took a little flight to the river. Was a small rock island so landed on the ice and stopped on the rocks. Planned the line to avoid the biggest rocks. Did not plan quiet good enough and hit a big one that bent my axle. Landed back home without incidence. Changed axle and all is well. No damage to frame or landing gear. Good to know the axle bends instead of the landing gear. Makes for easy repair. My good wife questions my judgement to want to do things like this with my kitfox. Because I can...learnt some more and move on. She says I've been watching to much "Big Rocks, Long Props" videos. Maybe I have... but went back yesterday to do it again successfully.
I know we have the best kitplane out there...now go fly em...
