I hope there's some kind of pre-flight ritual associated with that. Like rubbing Budda's belly or something.

It was at GKY for National championship game yesterday.

 

[PropSettin']

Thats awesome!

What is it about Merlins/Metros that persuades pilots to put truck nuts on them, this makes three that I've seen (two in person and this one)? I've never seen a set hanging off of any other type.

 

[gotWXdagain]

At least its not hanging off something stupid like an Avanti.

 

[Beefy McGee]

I see a new nickname for a Merlin: Texas Teabagger.

 

[TwoTwoLeft]

Seems a bit counter intuitive to remove them before flight...

 

[EIR]

My buddy flies it.

 

[smack300]

Pretty cool paint job though.

 

[mshunter]

Sweet paint job, like the "accessory." But yeah, like @TwoTwoLeft don't remove it before fight.

 

[Beefy McGee]

That could be a new backup device in case of instrument failure during takeoff. Just rotate until you start hearing ding ding ding ding ding.

 

[Runincolorado]

"whats that banging sound?" "Oh just my nuts busting up the tail...."

 

[Krieger]

My buddy flies it.

The balls or the airplane?

 

[Inverted25]

That airplane used to belong to a guy here in cleveland
