I know the cat involved, it started hunting the plane the moment it went down. During the time it took me to get my camera, Gert the cat was moving in. I did not have the flash on, but Gert knew that she was being watched. And that was a different bird. I'm reasonably sure that if that was a real bird, Gert would have eaten it. I think the spin the motor to remind the pilot saved the plane.

to those of you that track rc plane performance to real plane performance. The jet turns like an sr-71 habu. I saw one do what this plane does. Tim
