David,
Great job landing! Talk about word getting around. I just
saw a video on Ch 9 news here in Orlando,
Florida! You are national
news!
I hope they misquoted you…they said you were considering giving
up flying!!???
Did you take off from the street…or haul it to an airport?

Boy, word sure gets
around these days..
short answer... inadvertently hit cold start switch while messing with GPS and
flying at 1000' AGL.. not enough time to troubleshoot... had to fly
plane and find a place to land.
Both happy and appalled when the I realized the problem 2 minutes after the
commotion stopped. The tower must have been plain appalled when I took
off again later this afternoon.
