There are also smaller lines that run along side of the runway literaly!! P.S. A model air plane taking out a high tension wire???? I don't think so.
No body said anything about a plane taking out a high tension wire???
You may be referring to what I wrote about taking down a POWER GRID. That's something completely different.
Bye the way??? An R\C aircraft most definitely CAN take down a grid if it hits the right wires or transformer. Ever hear of a SHORT CIRCUIT?
