[NSRCA-discussion] Off the wall....

[Ron Van Putte]

I remember going to Xenia, OH with Don Lowe  to visit Jim Cline in  
the early spring back in the late 60s.  When we arrived at Jim's  
place, he was all banged up.  He explained that he had wanted to fly  
his DuBro Whirybird 550 really bad, but it was so cold and windy,  
that he decided to try to fly it in his garage.  He explained that  
things were going well, until the 505 "chased me into a corner of the  
garage and proceeded to beat me up".
