Look up in the sky...
A radio controlled helicopter landed on my car front windowyesterdaylate afternoon[&:]but all is OK. A few scratches on the hood from the propellers is all the damage that was done,but a decent homemade compound took it all out with a good rubbing. I seen it all happen too. I wanted to jump on the hood of my car (I'm glad I didn't) to save it, but i was stuck on stupid (SOS) to move while watching this all go down. It's a good thing my winshield wiper blade prevented the helicopter from sliding on to the hood, to cause further damage and I am glad thatthe copterwas all plastic. It landed staright on the window, thank goodness the window is strong too. It fell 20ft from the air. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I can still see it happening!
The most damage done was to the guys copter which cost him $200.00 to buy.
Just thought I'd share that with everyone here.

Ouch. That sucks. I used to fly R/C planes. And to be honest, anything can happen. I can almost guarantee you that it was not on purpose, or anything he could have done differently. Still sucks tho. Hope it all buffs out alright.

I know it wasn't done purposely, but then again he is a chevy lover..lmao!!! He tried to maneuver it around a branch, but it got caught in the branch and then.............................................. .................................................. ............crash! Wish I had my video recorder running.
His rubbing compoundBUFFED out all the scratches. Whew! I would hate to go through the insurance companies on one of my best friends.

Unfortunately, I dont think that Normans' wing is a joke. In another post that he went off on me in, he posted up his Cardomain site, so I checked it out. Car looks decent except for the wing, and the double "GT" emblems on the rear.
