We've all heard of Murphy's Law. Goodness knows Murphy didn't overlook
R/C planes...
- If it's not a taildragger, it will be. - dshugard@lucent.com
- The number of radio hits is inversely proportional to the flying skill
of the pilot.
- Glide distance is exactly equal to the distance between the spot where
the propeller stops, and the nearest spot
level enough for a landing... minus 10 feet.
- Landing skills improve as the number of spectators decreases.

- CA is a medical adhesive. As such, it is much more effective at gluing
fingers than balsa. - harding@netaxis.com
- When, during the construction of a model, you need three hands and
yours are busy, the bottle of CA you were using will secretly lay
down, spilling the contents to the floor and you, in your bare feet,
will stand in it, gluing yourself in position. - gjohnson@cetlink.net
- The farther you fly into the trees, the smaller your plane becomes.
btracy62@ix.netcom.com
- The right way to cover a certain shape is always discovered the day
after you just covered it the wrong way.
- jack.mcelroy@worldnet.att.net
- There is always somebody on your frequency.
- Even if needle valves were located in the tail of a plane, sooner or
later you'd put your da#% finger through the prop while adjusting it.
- Robert Osorio, The Flying Penguin
Safety Note! Jerry Knebel brings up a good point for us
to think about. A few weeks ago, his model made an unscheduled
landing, requiring all of the bits to be tossed into a bag. Upon
taking it home and squeezing the bag (by picking it up), the receiver
nicads
shorted and instantaneously lit the bag and its contents on fire!
Take this as fair warning - damaged, charged nicads can be a major
fire hazard. After a mishap, unplug the nicads and
wrap them up separately.
