RE: Truth is stranger than fiction in model airplanes
This was not a strange flightbut is a true tale.
As a teenager Ilived right across the street from the entrance to the City Cemetary.
There was a drive down the center of the entrance which was about a city block long. Part way back it widened enough to fly a Control Line model on 60 foot lines.
I was enjoying a flight when a Funeral Procession came driveing in!
Quick, What should I do? Crash the model, fly over the cars, or a bunch of loops which would twist up and bind the lines!
The model flew good so I started doing wing overs. Fly a half a lap and climb into a wing over parallel to the road over and over again. Lucky for me they ran out of cars before I ran out of fuel.
Iam now 76 years young and still enjoy Control Line flying. See my Avitar!
