    Coyote vs. Wing vs. Man

    Saw this guy looking at my plane while flying today. Landed, turned around for a second, and he's attacking it. Scared him off for a second, but he was persistent.

    Started throwing rocks at him and he backed into the bushes (chasing the rocks just to eff with me).

    Then he came back and we had a mexican standoff for a couple of minutes over the plane until I got my phone out.

    Glad I'm not a small animal.

    HAhah, wow, the title got me, then I read the first part without seeing the video scrolled down and thought you were throwing rocks at a man who was missing with you... but then I got it. Pretty crazy. When I crashed my FunJET it took me about 10 minutes to get to it and when I got out there there were 2 turkey vultures standing very close to it moving in. I assume they saw it crash down and though it might have been some dead bird. They however scrammed when I got close... not like this ballzy dog!

    Maybe the "Dehogafier" needs to be converted to the "DeDogafier". ;-)

    There is an FPV mounted airsoft gun on this board somewhere... Not that i'd want to hurt the little guy.

    Pretty good story though!

    I bet it is the tone of your plane/motor.
    When I was in California and flew my TL50 coyotes would howl from a half mile away almost every time. LOL

    He wanted your ezuhf transmitter for his new scheme to catch the roadrunner.


    Good luck, coyote, good luck.
    Get me a Crocodile sandwich. And make it snappy.

    Coyote + .223 round = BIG FUN.

    Hate those things.

    He'll be back with a variety of malfunctioning ACME equipment next time. Watch out for falling grand pianos.
