Old habits die hard

That's just "plane fun".  A flashback to the '60's??   I attended a RC meet at the "tulip city airport" in Holland, Michigan a few years back. What fun that was. They had everything from a booth to build and fly a "delta-dart" AMA hand launched gliders ( and contest for the longest flight for those who built one) to scale jets. In between flights off the runway the announcer brought everyone's attention to the start of the   "Old timers vintage" control line circle across the field on the other side of the runway....a good distance away. As the planes  flew in circles the announcer droned on about how these old control line models  were the beginnings of today's modern RC models then " oh no! There's trouble folks, ole bill has tripped and lost control of his plane". As the plane with lines and control handle continued to circle wildly up and down, the drag of the control lines making the plane oscillate in the sky.......circling up and over the runway out of control! Don't really know if it did a figure8 or just looped and looked as if it was going to do a spectacular figure 9,  right in front of the crowd of spectators......to a hot three point landing on the runway!!  Disaster adverted and the crowd applauded the flight ability of the actual RC pilot who had it under control the whole time! What a gag!
