The glued side always faces down when it hits the floor The tree always sems taller when the plane is in than when you are trying to fly over it Feel free to add on.  |

The severity of your crash is inversely proportional to how much money you have tied up in the model. No matter how much stuff you bring with you to the field, the part or tool you need is always lying on the workbench at home. Addendum to the above--the farther the field is from home, the more likely you are to forget something important. And just an observation--a lot of the guys with the big scale jobs don't fly any better than you or I do. That always makes me feel a little better when I go to Monaville......  If you leave your model airplane wing in the garage while you're remodeling said garage, there's a good chance some klutz is going to put a set of scooter handlebars through a wingtip. Don't ask me how I know this..... I didn't crash. The berm moved.... ;D ;D |

Or that an engine will run nop matter what is done, held upside down, shaken, pointed up, until the point wheels leave the ground on a take off run.

Or how your new favorite whizzbang bird seems to dig holes faster than glue can dry, while the tired old unloved banger has an uncanny ability to avoid death.

The new radio you buy is on the same frequency as 12 other guys - 2 of which are the club's most "frequent flyers".......
You have 14' of fuel tubing in the shop - the longest piece is a inch long......
The tool you used 10 seconds ago has vanished from the face of the earth..
The spare glow plugs you bought "just-in-case" are sitting in your other tool box back home..
You win first place at a contest, and the prize is a kit that costs an extra $500 to get it in the air (don't ask..!)
You graciously offer to lockup the field after a days flying and find out 20 seconds after the last guy leaves that your car won't start...

Out of a club with 400 members, it's the same 15 that are the only one that show up for field cleanup.  |

If you're getting ready for a LER climb and Glide contest, you will never have as long a timed flight in the competition as you had in your practices.

You take out that new bird to the field for its first flight and somehow erased all the set up that took a hour to program on your transmitter. You drive 40 min to the field, put your bird together, fuel her up and discover the transmitter is still at home on charge. don't ask!

...If you leave empty glue bottles where the full ones usually are, you usually wind up making a "special" trip to the hobby shop....
