First flight after extensive repair and repaint. Installed foam plug t' aid in ejection o' streamer and replaced crepe paper streamer. Blimey! Sounded like both motors lit, but it left t' rod at about a 60 degree angle and headed straight for t' tree tops in t' woods behind me yard. Heard t' distinct pop o' t' foam plug-aided ejection. Lost in t' tree canopy and hasn't been found. Avast! RIP-lost.

Update, arrr, 09/01/2011: Found it, arrr, about 30-40 feet up in t' branches o' a tree just inside t' woods at t' back edge o' t' yard.

What would Hamlet do? (WWHD?)

"To saw, or nay t' saw, that be t' question:
Whether 'tis nobler in t' mind t' suffer
T' slings and arrows o' outrageous fortune,
Or t' take chainsaw against a sea o' troubles..."
