Jud's Lost Plane.

On Weds., about 10:00 A.M., I was flying my Old-timer Playboy, an electric 100 inch wingspan plane, and took my eyes off of it for a second after climbing it very high, shutting the power off, and lost it. I simply turned around, sat down in a chair that I had moved out near the runway, and looked back towards where it was, and it was gone.

My flying partner Dick Behrens was with me and neither of us could spot it. It was in a soaring mode with the power off, and I of course did everything on the transmitter to make it perhaps become visible, with no luck. We looked for it of course, all around the Casino grounds and in the areas around there, but with no success. The wind was blowing from the east very lightly, but as high as it was, it could have easily flown into the river or further.

I have to believe it is gone forever, but if any of you hear of a lost plane found, there is a 100 buck reward for it.....

Thanks.....Jud Bock

I publish Metro Area R/C Flying to make a central web site for all the area R/C clubs, not to replace individual club sites, but to tie all of them together and promote growth and interaction between clubs. The most important service of the web site is to post the Metro Area Schedule. The schedule lists all the events for all the clubs in one location so that R/C flyers can see what events are available in the area and plan ahead. I believe it will also help the area clubs to work out their schedules so that a club event, will not conflict, with another club's event. The next most important service is to provide a Page that has maps to all the events, meetings, dinners and parties. Right after that comes the Newsletter Page which lists club newsletters. Reading other club newsletters lets members see what others are offering in the area that they are interested in and promotes interaction between clubs. This is your web site, if you would like to show-off your newest plane, or share an experience, you can E-Mail pictures and articles to me at: MetroRCFlying@Gmail.com There’s an Email Link on every page.
