last week a very good friend and i decided it would be really neat to take our remote controlled airplanes to the lake <br />with the boat<br />we spent the evening riggin up flots on our rc planes so we could fly and land them on water<br />when we got to the ramp we had quite a crowd around the boat eyeing up all our toys <br />we launched with no problems as usuall and headed out to some vacant water in the large lake<br />my frind was the first to try his out <br />he took off the water ok and flew around the lake for some time then landed and its my turn now <br />he decides it would be really neat to drive the boat at 55 while im flying my plane <br />as im crossing over the bow and the back seats of the boat at 55he decides to cut the throttle on the boat sending the plane into the back of his head<br />lucky for me i was sitting in the bow of the boat behind the glass so i didnt recieve any of the shrapnell<br />now if you know anything about rc aircraft these little gas powered motors turn a 12 inch prop at about 9000 rpm <br />the prop was the first thing to make contact with his head and well lets just say he got quite a hair cut,lots of cuts and scrapes,and a really bad headache<br />when we made our way back to the ramp with his head bleeding we again had quite a crowd of people lookign at our toys<br />and alot of explaining to do<br />with no hard feeligns we were at it again this weekend with no accidents<br />and what a ton of fun it is
