lazyfrog 0 #6 September 18, 2003 we had to be 10 on each side to hold the plane down during like 30 minutes with horizontal rain... real strong wind and the plane tried to take off on its own... then we tied 3 tractors to the plane to hold it down---------- Fumer tue, péter pue ------------- ourson #10, Mosquito Uno, CBT 579 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
