Anatomy of a Roll - DPG Rock Race 1.0

[ProjekTJ]

Discuss flight plans, path, and landing zone with air traffic controller(s).

Proceed to flight ramp, apply throttle, adjusting flaps for wind shear, 10 & 2 always.

As quick as the take off begins, shift thinking towards the LZ. Brace and throttle out.

[ProjekTJ]

I SAID BRACE AND THROTTLE OUT!!!!

Oh, your motor shut down.
Change of plan.
Adjust for endo, earth, aches and pains.

Point of decision.

Decision made. Going over.

T-minus .2 until touchdown.

[ProjekTJ]

Admire viewpoint, beautiful sky, and rapidly approaching hecklers.

Friends, family, pitcrew, hecklers...push the rubber side down.

Rinse and Repeat.

The end.

very nice pics...

 

[pheery]

sweet pics. he sure did land hard.

 

[BIGWOODY]

It seemed like he sat on the front wheels forever before it finally went over. It'll make ya rethink the stinger option

 

[tw89yj]

It'll make ya rethink the stinger option

For about 30 seconds........ then no.

 

[rbo1577186]

Don't pee, don't pee, don't pee

mine is usually ..."wonder what this is going to cost?"

 

[J.C.]

mine is usually ..."wonder what this is going to cost?"

Yeah, me too, followed by "IF I can fix it"!

 

[Aggressive1]

For me it was head low....shut the motor off...shut the motor off.

 

[bigassedredjeep]

he stayed in the air FOREVER... then finally it landed.

when i endo'd mine, it was "...gas, gas, gas... then ...uh-oh... then ...please land somewhere soft, please land somewhere soft... splat!"

 

[rbo1577186]

By no means am I saying I could do better given the circumstances but wouldn't it have came back down on all 4's if he would have nailed the gas?

 

[tw89yj]

Engine cut off, so he had no choice but to just hold on.

motor shut off. We were all yelling to nail the gas but the motor sputtered and died.

And Travis...you know you want a stinger. They are just too cool for you i guess.

I'm still laughing about this one. This will be on our wall of shame at the clubhouse. Gene is

 

[paradisePWoffrd]

been upside down a few times... never seems to go any faster in the moments beforehand....


how much did that landing break in the front end?

 

[madmonk]

nothing, I think he had a plug wire come loose though.

 

[ProjekTJ]

Messing around with Photoshop.

Who got the pictures? How did you manage so many so quickly?
My digi camera needs a good 5 seconds between shots to reset. Was somebody already waiting with the "multi-shot" mode set?
I just can't ever get a good action series to work out like that.

They are all my pictures. I shot multiple frames the entire day. I have the ability to shoot up to 3 frames per second.

Just another example. It's not good, it's just an example.

he probably farted and blew the buggy over. If he woulda just breathed in some pollen and sneezed he woulda been wheels up again.

 

[Rich]

he probably shat himself and blew the buggy over.

Fixed it..
