I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, when he said, "I drank what?" -- Chris Knight on self realization, in 1985's Real Genius
I was checking the blade tracking on my Raptor 30 Helicopter and looked away for just a second. It was on the ground but a gust of air picked just that time to force it's way under the rotor and start tilting it over.
I corrected it and it started going the other way. My uncle now has a nice deep little trench in it and I got to replace my first set of blades on the raptor. :) Moral of the story is keep your eye on the ball.
