Getting Old!!!
1 Attachment(s)
I hate to think about this. In the mid to late 80's I can remember when Hovering was called Hanging the Plane on the Prop when flying planes with the newer Big Glow motors such as the OS BGX 1 and the big Super Tigers. OH here is another one Torque Rolling was called vertical stationary rolling. Reminds me of full scale terminology I still refer to the Constant speed prop, as a variable pitch prop. First plane I had that would do 3D was a plane my Uncle,who lives in Renton Washington scratch built from plan's, out of the RCM magazine sized up from a 60 sized gull wing bi plane known as a Sunray. wing span 74" Power OS BGX 1, 18 X 10 prop

Yep, use that prop hangin trick to clean the runway once in a while. Beats carrying a darned ole backpack blower around.
