Something need4speed said reminded me...

Then there's the ROTAX 912 motor that's in the Predator UAV. . .


HEY! That reminds me. Two days ago, we had a UAV go **SMASH** right into the side of the hangar. The operator said that the engine was missing, and he lost control of it.

We heard it burn in... no missing, hiccups, hesitation. It didn't even swerve: just flew right into the top corner of a hangar and crunched into a million pieces. From what I heard they cost - each piece was worth about a dollar when it was done.

When the MI guys came to sweep up their mess, we tried to be helpful... We brought them some plywood and superglue - told em we could fix it right up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

(Kind of like when we showed up running to a tent fire a couple of weeks ago, carrying fuel cans saying, "We'll help put it out!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif))
