There was a total of 4 crashes and a mid air before the rain come. What a Sun morning.

I left just about mid-morning, and it was already busy skies by then. Even so, mid-airs are rare.

Nice to have a lot of planes whizzing through the air though. Really gets adrenaline pumping and can share joy of flying with others - sure beats flying alone - as long as done safely within the flying area. Just avoid flying anything too expensive!

Progress fixing it

Chatted with the manufacturer...wow...demand is high new order would have to take till APril. Spare also take a couple of months, so i am learning that there is really no spares in glider...

Now to pick up my fixing skill again.....making some progress...stronger then before now.
The shape is maintain, and canopy fixed up also.
Decide to put fiber tape on it on top of fixed with fiber cloth.
Think it will turn out well.

Good. Hope to see it flying soon.

It depends what you mean by rare. If rare means it happens to one out of 50 flyers in his flying experience, then it is probably not as rare as you think. Just ask around the guys who've been flying for a while and you'll find quite a few with a story to tell.

I've had at least 2 experinces that I recall. A glider at Bedok reservoir and a Microjet at OHR. And that's even though I fly conservatively by avoiding flying when the sky gets crowded.

But as long as both pilots are flying responsibly, well... shit happens. Pat each other on the back, feel each other's pain. Live to fly another day.

But if the person is flying dangerously or being an asshole about things, you can fantasize about ACCIDENTALLY reversing your car over the fella's other planes or transmitter as you drive off....

For me its 4 mid airs so far!!!

Wow, she's beautiful! She'll be glowing on a cloudy or hazy day. Much much lower chance of losing orientation.
