    Death of a Man's Pride

    A bud at work had a sad experience with a remote control plane.  Sorry this isn't about .NET but it's entertaining!  :)

    Remote Control Plane Flight

    It was a cool little plane...until it was obliterated on the pavement.  The body was made of styrofoam.  The wings and nose were plastic with 4 electric motors.  I got the honor of launching the plane into her first and last flight.  By the time it was all over, she went down head first into the pavement where the whole front end promptly exploded into a snow shower of foam and plastic with two engines completely in piece, wires hanging everywhere.

    I tried really hard not to laugh, but I couldn't help it.  The inner devil in me wanted to see it again.  Next time we do this, we're getting it on video!

    In my defense, I told you all it was too windy.
