My local Walmart randomly went from carying the aeroace to not carrying it months ago. No empty space for them nor a tag for them. My dad and I figured there was a recall or something, that they might not be sold at any Walmarts anymore.

Some (quite a few) years back I was flying a Piece O' Cake at an industrial park when the wind came up and the model ended up on a factory roof. I quickly got my wife and young children in the car, went to a tool rental store and rented a 40" extension ladder. By the time I got the ladder in place and started to climb the wind was really howling, rain had started and there was lightning in the distance. As I stepped to the roof I could hear my wife shouting to the kids: "Don't watch your father! HE's going to kill himself!"
