The tail of the plane we were watching promptly blew apart and the whole plane came crashing to the earth.<BR/><BR/>Years later I was back at that same park with my brother-in-law and his plane, a glider. He was just learning how to fly then and as all flyers know, his plane looked liked it. It was more glue than styrofoam. He hand launched it by giving it a gentle toss into the breeze. It glided beautifully for about a half of a second then suddenly dove straight down and planted itself, nose first in the grass. In a moment of stupid, my brother-in-law had pushed the joystick up thinking the plane would follow. Ever the optomist he looked at his newly shatterer plane and said, " I can epoxy that back together!" ;)Ben Hydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514118431493076509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040769195419952731.post-85055272338841437412008-03-03T21:26:00.000-07:002008-03-03T21:26:00.000-07:00Cool plane wars.

At that time, 3 of our group members were part of his company.Darren Hintzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412439103362856995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040769195419952731.post-34138635054538542632008-03-01T23:08:00.000-07:002008-03-01T23:08:00.000-07:00Super cool Darren!!
