I don't think I have seen that one before. I'm sure it could be done.

The way it is done full scale is to have a glider release on the tailwheel mounting of the plane. There is a rope with a treble hook on the end of it. This is carried in the plane on take off and is already hooked to the release. Once in the air, the pilot tosses out the hook and it trails behind the plane. On the ground, the banner or flag is laid out so that the forward end will be facing the plane as it comes towards it. There is a long line on the flag that is attached in a loop to two poles that are about 30 feet apart. The pilot comes in low and tries to snag the line on the poles with the hook and goes right to full power and into a vrey steep climb. This is so that he can pick up the banner clean and pull it up and not along the ground. Once he returns, he flies over the field and releases the banner. Then goes around and lands the plane normally.


It took me 4 tries to pick up my first banner in full scale! Scared me half to death. Even then I did not climb hard enough and tore the banner up.

I'm sure it could be done in RC with a powerful plane, and would like to see it!
