Been there done that.

Yeah, me to. I spent parts of two days in a corn field looking for the engine that was still running after the mid air. It was a loooong way from the rest of the parts.

Sunk at the Dock - This is the unfortunate event of destroying or severely damaging a new aircraft before the Maiden flight. Your boat never even made it out to sea!! That beats a Titanic!

GimbalTrimble - This is the condition caused by the excitement /fear of flying a newaircraft for the first time. Your hands are shaking on the sticks of theTransmitter so badly that it is impossible to trim the aircraft without removingyour hands from the Transmitter. This condition usually disappears after two orthree flights.

Anteater -This is what you call it when a taildragger airplane lands tail high and endsup sliding down the runway on the Spinner and the main Landing Gear. When an airplane does a high speed Anteater on a grass strip the Spinner may even start to dig a trench in the sod.
