Re: [RCSE] Small [R/C] plane crash...
In the early 80's, our son was flying a 2x6 in a contest in Mount Vernon, Washington. He had a pop-off and the sailplane had nearly immediate nose-first contact with the ground. Within minutes, two of the the local police were out at the Tercel's field wanting to know where the airplane crashed. Someone driving by had apparently seen a portion of the episode and called 911 to report an airplane crash. There was a full size glider port fairly close by, so in retrospect the response was not that surprising. The police were actually somewhat amused and stayed to watch the flying for a short while. No, the incident didn't make the papers so far as we know. -- B^2 Bill & Bunny Kuhlman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Small [R/C] plane crash...
I think what has been missed so far is that the Fraser Highway runs right alongside the Remote Control Flying Club of British Columbia main flying field. This is the largest flying club in the Vancouver area and it's field is very busy. You would have thought the local RCMP detachment would have figured this out...

Re: [RCSE] Small [R/C] plane crash...
I don't think it was deliberate. It was just a model that had engine failure. I
kind of resent the use of the word 'toy' to describe it, though.
I've heard of this happening before but not with anything like this small -- I
can understand someone mistaking a large scale model landing where planes don't
usually land for a full-size in trouble. But then I believe people occasionally
mistake full sized sailplane outlandings for crashes (in one case reported a
few years back the owner got back to the plane after phoning for the trailer
just in time to prevent the FD from covering it in foam to prevent the JP-4
from catching fire ("No, its not got an engine!")).
