I witnessed the tree incident and could have shamed Chris on this forum, but to be fair he got so much stick all the weekend and the following week from the IMAC crowd that it would have been cruel to set you lot on him as well!

Well that's all changed now - What's the aresti diagram for flying into a tree - or is this only part of freestyle.

Chris if you do decide to build another one I can cut all the formers for you and there must be a set of wing cores available.

Hi Chris, I hope it was cathartic to come clean about your arboreal adventures Glad that it all ended okay, although I'm guessing that isn't the easiest covering to patch, I suspect the pilots ego will bounce back pretty quickly

Thanks for the offer John, but I won't be building another Atlas, not straight away anyway.

Aha! Now we know why the question on covering.

Chris was obviously demonstrating that it is more advantageous when in trouble to land in a tree rather into terra firmar. It will also highlight who are his real friends are when they volunteer to scale dizzying heights to recover the "said demonstrator".

Your lucky Chris. If this had been Little Dave the ribbing would've lasted 3 months.:lol:

The question about the covering is for my other plane, and trust me I am not lucky, I will get stick for this for years from the IMAC boys

I still say that damn tree moved!!!!

Any thoughts on a replacement Chris?

A WOT4 XL with retracts?

Sorry to see this Chris. Never feels any better

No time for the pain to subside, no time for the wounds to heal, he's straight in with an uppercut. You've got to be tough to survive on this forum.

I've had a thought Phil, you could let Chris keep the dust of your Curare

It's going to be things like: " Hey Chris does your plane pull to the canopy "
