1) Mag failure. Initial thought, Why wont this bloody thing hover?

2) brain failure moved mixture to full lean instead of full rich. Initial thought. Oh S**t. Felt slightly silly. Restarted it in flight. Wife not convinced by explanation it was a routine practice.

3) Tacho failure. made me look out of the window at least twice to check it was all still going round. More confusing than frightening.

4) Lost a Wellington boot - dont ask.

5) 6 inch blade delamination- didnt notice until I landed

5) everytime one flies an Enstrom some self tappers fall off. I use the trail to find my way home.
