| Yeah, I sometimes feel I'm haunted too. I have several friends that are flying with worn out dampners, grips with 2mm play, dangling flybars and still they manage to fly flight after flight. I've been pretty lucky during the first 3 years of my pilot carreer but in the last month I had M3 steel screws breaking on me, tail blades ejecting in mid flight, thrust bearings locking due invisible damage to the grips etc etc.
Up until last month, I enjoyed every single flight and hearing the radio buzzer warning me that time was running out was always recieved with a slight annoyance (already over?). Since those two last crashes, I'm almost waiting for the radio to buzz so I can land and "be over with it". Its a terrible feeling and I hope I'll get over it soon.
