How does a guy have two flyaways? First that guy has to have two birds that fly, and I do, my H480 Pro and the now famous "FrankenPhoon" 480 -my fully functioning spare. Well I should say I did have two birds until today when they both flew away at the same time! I know right, what are the odds? But even stranger than that, I wasn't even flying them when they flew away, in fact they were in the boxes! That's right they flew away in their boxes, that's how desperately they wanted to escape Dr. FrankenPhoon's laboratory!
By now you're all thinking I'm full of ?butt I swear it's true! Today I met up with @Grumpy, who recently suffered the tragic loss of his beloved Q500 (a moment of silence please?), at a half-way point between our homes. But after a short chat he suddenly waved his fist at me and took my entire H480 inventory and sped off. The tears welled up in my eyes as I watched them fly off with Grumpy, the only thing I had to wipe away the tears with was the fist full of hundred dollar bills, the very same hundred dollar bills he had in his fist when he waved it at me moments earlier. As comforting as a fist full of money is, it's absolutely worthless for drying tears, ...but then again all it takes is a quick glance at all those dollars in my fist and a big smile comes over my face!?
The good news is Grumpy is smiling too, so it was a very equitable trade, and most importantly, The Grump is flying again! The bad news is I have empty nest syndrome now, those H480s were my like my children! Every time I see the place they occupied on the bench, a wave of sadness comes over me, and I'm back to trying to dry my eyes with hundred dollar bills again..... But then I realize I'm smiling again! I feel so manic and conflicted right now, perhaps I should seek professional help! ?
