Had that happen, but the wasp came in the window & hit me in the side of the neck, which killed it. Definitely stung from the impact, as the car was moving along at something >70mph.
Good to know, worst I ever had happen as PIC was the cowl access on a C172 popped open a few seconds after takeoff. Bit of slowflight practice to keep it from ripping off during the circle back to land & resecure. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated |
My friend that chatted with them was told it did not want to fly. Lack of lift and drag due to the damage. They did have to cycle the gear 3 times before they got a green light. It belongs to a flight school down at BJC. I'm pretty sure the wings are coming off and it's going away on a trailer.

Yup, when it grows up it wants to have a radial engine! "Someday I hope to be half the man my bird-dog thinks I am." looking forward to 4 years of TRUMP! | |||

So, that's where the phrase "feathering the prop" comes from? I thought it meant something different. ____________________ | |||

That's rough....back in '89 we had a AU student pilot that clipped a deer doing some VFR night approaches at Moton Field in Tuskegee. Had to send the AP down to swap a prop and clean out the venison..... | |||
