Prop strike and winter flying Challenger 2 ultralight

[@bobkimmcdonald6171]

Tough break (no pun intended). I had a tire on landing flip a stick into the prop, and the prop drove it through the bottom of my wing... on 1st flight. After I threw up installed a sea plane drain & touched up the paint. I was the only guy who noticed the extra sea plane drain on the right wing bottom. I know the original builder of your Challenger.

Crazy about that stick! That’s cool you know the builder:) hope he can see these videos. I’m grateful he built it!

@@aerialambitions3066 I forwarded the video link to the builder. It will make him smile to watch your Challenger fly

I remember talking to a guy at an airshow about pusher type aircraft he said one of the drawbacks was anything that came lose on a 2-stroke engine which was common would fly right in the prop.

So always check all the bolts and screws on the engine make sure none are loose. bottom line....

Ditch the obnoxious "music" and I'll watch. I want a flying video, not a country music bar. Til then, thumbs down.

Came for the flying but stayed for the country music. 10/10
