Default RE: full scale question

"I'm horrible at guestimating altitude, but this guy was low."

Except you are horrible at guesstimating altitude, by your own admission.


"I've seen a lot of full scale and model shows as well as flying models myself for 10 years and I know if something had gone wrong, this guy was not going to be able to pull out."

No, you didn't. One of my best pals, a modelling buddy, has a full-scale Tiger Moth, and I've flown it a bunch. Actually, TWO of my pals have tiger moths. Anyway, I've done stall turns in a tiger moth. Have you?

I think you are worrying about nothing, and it was probably a cropduster.

"We don't have any fields around here...except corn."
Yeah. Except corn. But, of course, you said it was a city. They do spray corn. I was watching an Ag-Cat bipe spray the corn the other day, they fly very low indeed. Neat, neat airplane.
