Now as you know at SPAVC, we all derive certain pleasure from seeing planes fly around in circles and watch as hapless trainee pilots attempt to effect a proper landing of their dinky Depron planes that will never happen in this century or the next. We all laugh in the face of these frankly useless pilots and dream of one day shredding their planes with our mighty ducted-fan, eleventy-million horsepower RC fighter jets.
But one thing we desire the most is to watch the guy on the ground, holding his controller uselessly and watching in dismay as his plane flies overheard, behind a building and lands spectacularly on the rooftop where no man has ever gone before.
See, it's easy to fly a plane but quite another thing to handle it precisely. And that is what Alex precisely forgot how to do when he landed his "flying wing" (we have no idea what to call it) atop the sports stadium complex's roof and had to climb all over the place to get at it. Nothing would get between him and his beloved aircraft so he effected a daring rescue in broad daylight which earned him cheers and praise all round. He climbed over the parapet wall, walked gingerly on the roof (lest it broke and he fell through and died. It's okay, we have hot glue.) and saved the plane from death.
Nevertheless the freshies had their fun taking turns at the controls of the orange (and plastic) B-2 Spirit. Of course, Alex and Yiming were on hand to save the day should any of those intrepid pilots take a nosedive and spectacularly obliterate that multimillion-cent plane.
And here be pictures...
