  Aw, shucks, I can top that, Tom! Saw my first R/C airplane fly in early
1950's. Model was an overweight fat free-flier type - no chance of ROG.
Owner would run like hell, throw like hell, and then pray she didn't bounce
off the ground before she started to fly. On the occasion of my visit, she
bounced. That de-tuned the receiver and away she went, free flight. As there
was no chance this thing would thermal, it was merely a process of finding a
country road that went downwind about 5 minutes, and down she came after the
engine quit. Next time everything went well. He could actually - gasp - make
the model TURN in the air! Gosh, what will they do next?

  There was just the one control, rudder. Oh, well.
