Wow, It looks like there was a whole lot of excitement for a short period of time.
Sorry this happened to you.

Welcome to the club. My screw ups started back in 1984, after I finished building
my Ultrastar. I have been consistent since then. Hopefully, one of these
days I'll wake up, double and triple check stuff before I hit the go button.

I am very sorry that you had to pay such a price for a moments inattention.
"The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune!".
But not stupid, just a human mistake. I seriously doubt that you are in any
way stupid. I find that as I age I have to change/build new habits to
compensate for my lack of short-term memory.
Like everybody here I could tell stories of my own mistakes, but I won't
because.. ah.. because I don't have pictures! :-)

I'm sorry, too, for the damage to your beautiful 'Fly. However,
sometimes Providence smiles on us and our payment isn't nearly as great
as it may have been! I guess it's time to own up to my own "stupid"
experience...
When I first took possession of the FlagFly, one day I was taking off
and landing between short flights where I'd make an adjustment here and
there. I didn't preflight before each flight, as I'd preflighted before
I began. After one flight I was going over the result and discovered
that after dropping a wing and re-setting it I had put the clevis into
place and took off without the safety pin! I assure you that will get
your attention for years after the "what if's" are thoroughly drilled
into your mind.
For the wise, life itself is a learning experience, so we can all
benefit from our "stupid" mistakes. Keep us informed of your repair
progress.

My story is forgetting my seatbelt in my open cockpit powered parachute. I unbuckled
after doing my preflight to go move the parachute and my mind already "checked
off" the seatbelt part of my routine. Nothing bad happened but it could
have been pretty bad. It happens to everyone but I remember to check things more
closely now and that's what's important.

Subject: | 503 on Firestar 1 |
I'm wondering if anyone, or how many folks are running a 503 on the original Firestar.
I did read the msg about Kolb suggesting not.

What a life! It always amazes me how much some people have done. I was in Wichita
Falls for a little while in the Air Force. I am sure if I lived their longer
I would have heard of this man as it seems he was very well known. Thanks for
sharing John.
