basehoundsam 0 #1 June 10, 2006 Last weekend I had an unusually snappy opening, and got hit in the mouth by my alti-2. The alti strike knocked out 3 of my front upper teeth. I thought I would post this as a warning to people who open in full flight...... you might consider getting a lighter/electric alti. I know I am switching over. !!!!!! Sweet flights to all.....

Airowpoint 0 #3 June 10, 2006 Ah, welcome to the club. I lost only 2 teeth (eating a bar of chocolate) but it's taking me one and a half years to fix I suggest you come up with a better story because you'll be telling it a lot. I usually use the flying next to the airplane and getting into the burble of the wing and hitting the tail story which seems to work for me. good luck!Tristan Will you answer "NO" to my next question?
