Default Maydays this weekend

Are you sure? It seems to me landing in a cornfield will guarantee you
don't hit a tree, don't drown, and will slow down rapidly but not too
rapidly.
Your aircraft may get trashed but you can always get another. I don't
care about the airplane. I care about *me*.


Not to mention how quickly corn will bring your aircraft to a stop.


high crops are going to stop you real fast; and if you don't have
a shoulder harness you are going to get hurt. I haven't tried corn,
but did try with wheat, and it is a lot softer, and I wasn't going
too fast either (glider landing), yet I was really glad to have a
five point harness...
