That's a good story. I just through away my dry rotted and worn out
Nobler<BR>> that I built in 1956-1957 and flew in many contests around
the southeast. <BR>> I<BR>> still have the oridinal Fox 35 that I gave
$15.95. Hmmmmm maybe I see an<BR>> ARF in the future.<BR>>

Off topic, nothing like a crash to keep us <BR>>
humble<BR>><BR>><BR>>> Now that the season is finished (at least
up here in<BR>>> the soon to be great white north), I am making
some<BR>>> cosmetic repairs to my Temptation. For a little change
<BR>>> of pace, I decided to test fly my Top Flite Nobler
ARF<BR>>> CL plane on Saturday. CL you say? Yup, this is
yet<BR>>> another facet of the hobby I wanted to revive from
my<BR>>> youth. The last time I flew a control line plane was
<BR>>> about 1977, and then nothing bigger than 1/2A. I<BR>>>
picked up the Nobler and then spent two years putting<BR>>> together
at somewhat of a leisurely pace.<BR>>><BR>>> First flight,
engine running too rich . .take off . . <BR>>> . try a little up and
down . . hmmm, not very<BR>>> responsive. I was expecting
it to be twitchy, after<BR>>> all this is a "real" stunt ship. Did a
loop or two,<BR>>> ran it out fuel. <BR>>><BR>>> Second
flight, leaned the engine a little, but still<BR>>> too rich. Plane is
still pretty unresponsive. Some<BR>>> more loops . . . let's try
inverted. Oh-oh . . .<BR>>> lines are slack . . . plane
heading for the ground . <BR>>> . . I back up sharply and
the plane pulls out with<BR>>> inches to spare . . . back
to upright flight, run it<BR>>> out of fuel. My mentor suggests I pay
attention to<BR>>> where the plane is relative to wind direction when
<BR>>> doing maneuver, I had picked the absolutely worst
part<BR>>> of the circle to try and go inverted. OK, tuck
that<BR>>> one in the experience drawer.<BR>>><BR>>> Third
flight, lean the engine some more, but <BR>>> apparently still not
enough. More level laps, couple<BR>>> of loops, let's try inverted
again. Oh-oh, thought I<BR>>> picked the right part of the circle to
start but now<BR>>> it's not looking good. Lines going slack again, I
back <BR>>> up . . plane starts to recover so I think I
have it<BR>>> and stop backing up. Plane continues at a 30
degree<BR>>> downline until the Earth jumps up and grabs
it.<BR>>> Crunch!!!! . . . followed by silence. Heavens to
<BR>>> Betsy, I crashed my Nobler. Could not blame this
one<BR>>> on frequency control, just a loose "Nut" on the<BR>>>
handle.<BR>>><BR>>> The short flights were fun, and I will
probably try <BR>>> this again.<BR>>><BR>>> OK, back to
Pattern.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>> Bob
