I have an amazing model story for you and it's true.
This Flite Streak, photo below, was my favorite. Green silk, black and white trim. Flaps too and a shortened tail.
A friend and I, I didn't drive at the time, who lived on a farm, a big one, set out to fly the FS.
Picture enough space to fly R/C. Had my U-Reely, lines out and were all set to go.
I have no idea what was on my mind that day, but I forgot to slide the pin lock for the handle on the U-Reely.
Yup, you guessed it. Probably not even one full lap and the handle went ballistic. I did have time to think about grabbing it, but couldn't.
Now here's what beats all. There was this tall silo probably 500 to 600 feet away. Yup, you guessed it.
The FS did a perfect rainbow arch and hit home smack on the side of that silo. Lines and all.
That was a lesson hard learned.
