> We flew with a former U control expert, Harry Roe. When he saw us
cranking up some D.S. angled loops, he observed that they used to do a
similar type of sustained flight with U contro stunt planes in high winds
after the enginge ran out of fuel! Has anyone else heard of that?

Hi Paul
Have spent hours doing just that, mainly flew combat models, you need
something light and clean so this rules out racing and speed models(high
wing loading). Several in a circle at once is a giggle and then we used to
attach streamers and fly "combat" but without the motors running. With a
smaller model a good launch and some serious whipping the motor is never
started. You can build up speed doing basically lazy eights (low into wind
half loop higher downwind half bunt etc etc) and do aerobatics as well
with the energy, the more wind the better!!!!!!!!!!!
