LOL speaking of breaking the flap handle... on the morning of my check ride, I broke off the handle to the primer.
It was flippin' freezing outside and the blasted thing wouldn't comeout! I could see the pin through the little hole, so it wasn't locked... just stuck! The primer in this plane was always touchy... but eventually got it to work alright.
LOl and the oil pan... that's something I would do. Last summer my boss made me clean all of the oil pans... lol what an exciting 2 hours that was!
The day is always better when you're flying upside down.&&&&

I don't think I've done anything stupid like that, but I've seen someone.
I was coming back from my first Nav excersise (woot) and was coming into Archefield from the east in the good old PA-38 Tomahawk. So we used the Target reporting point (Archefield is a GAAP), when this C172 came out of nowhere and was about 50 metres away on the left, meaning that we had right of way. We called the tower, saying that we 'had the cessna just ahead of us in sight'. When the C172 called, they didn't acknoledge us at all. Instead, he decided to cut us of, which is rude and also illegal. Before motoring off ahead of us onto downwind.
The fun doesn't stop there, because he got a landing clearance as we got an approach clearance to the same runway, so he was going VERY slow. We had to keep about 60 knots on the approach to maintain speration, (the pa-38 stalls at 50), the tower has told him to exit at the first taxiway, and what does he do...lands and taxies to the last taxiway, causing us to go around.
Also, he seemed to land sideways, as we could see the profile of the plane.
Very amusing for me, though annoying at the same time.

I was holding runway 1 at KFRG when a Cherokee rolled in on very short final, at about 300ft and stalled, which developed into a 75* roll, the pilot did some great flying (which made up for the bad flying) and landed safely, and then I was cleared for take off and as I rotated I stalled and rolled, but managed to recover without a concrete kiss and my instructor said "its ok, todays lesson is spin recovories anyway
Future pilot...so you can scream to god, he cant hear you
