take off from the cabin

[akflyer 1427]

Flew up to check on my cabin and landed in front of a buddies cabin about a mile down the road from mine.  The quartering tailwind kind of sucked, but I am glad I had those double puck brakes to keep it on the road! 

 

Had the wife drive up so she could pick up the side by side and bring it home..... she made it 13 miles down the dirt road before she whacked the crap out of a frost heave, broke the trailer frame and slid the damn side by side off the front of the trailer... I circled around her and could tell something was not right but it took me two turns to figure out that the damn prowler was not on the trailer all the way.. I landed up hill on the road but by the time I taxied to her she had it back on the trailer.  I helped her strap it down and rigged the broken frame as best I could then flew high cover for her 60 miles back to the airport.  More pics to come later...
