That would be me!

Yeah, about that "Windsock Magnetism".....

Playing around with @Headbang today at the field with our Sea Ducks.....

For the second time in about 3 weeks, I hit the 4x4 post that supports one of our fields' windsocks with my Sea Duck!

First time I managed to remove the right wing just outboard the nacelle.

Second time I managed to break off the left float and create a very lopsided smile on the nose of the plane!

Pics will be up shortly.

My question is how did he fly again after taking a hit to the wing just outside the nacelle for a second flight? Was it the same plane?

Seaduck is a beast! You can beat the hell out of it and it keeps on flying. He took off with a bent wing and missing 1 float, flew it a bunch and landed. Then proceeded to taxi nose first into the wind sock again! Was a real WTF moment lol

Thank you all. It always hurts to have the biggens go in. I just tuned it the flight before to my liking.
