Default I really do like humor! (see video link)

Ok fellas! We have a Combat Contest here. I know they are not Half A but they might be .15s

Anyways, you need to be paying attention and as soon as you figure out what is going on check the time into the video.

I wonder if they had any outside influences going on to initiate this contest.

Some of the last words a redneck often utters are: " Watch whut happins when ah do this!"

I have survived most of mine so far.

This is one of the funniest videos involving model planes I have seen in quite some time!

When you can do that with your wrist in
the pylon you will be ready for C/L speed.
Brings back some memories of experiments

I have no experience with c/l but are they trying to see who can fly with the shortest lines?

Hey Rog --

If I remember my civics, Denmark is a multi-party system with elections every 4 years. There is a small communist group, but it has had little influence since the '60s.

Either way, flying that plane on 2 or 3 meter lines is INSANE.

What I can't figure out is why they would record that and post it on the web. I agree that the guy on the strings really needs to stay away from what ever that was he was smoking while flying. Just out of curiosity, did anyone see anybody they recognized?

I see that CL combat guys are pretty much the same the world over. Good on 'em.

Does anyone remember the trashcan CL combat "event"? The idea was at the end of the season you took an expendable model out and tried to do a wing-over into a trashcan. The closest - or first in - was the "winner" - good times, good times.

Similar to, but less fun than, was the transmitter toss of 1991 when we threw our old transmitters into trashcans. That's when my red case ACE single channel xmtr went too (oops, sorry Bob).
