My nephew had a Cox E-Z Flyer. The damn thing was haunted! It caused so much damage my brother had to call his insurance co. to see if they would payout for damages. They didn't. Broken windows, broken house tiles, roof damage, car aerial collision, and bleeding and burned fingers.
One time it almost hit me in the side of the head. If I hadn't ducked when I did, I'd be dead.
The way the Arctic is melting the Blob may make a comeback.
Instead of taking up land for cemeteries or polluting the air with crematoriums we could put it to work eating bodies.
What was even worse was when you'd build up a 'flying model kit' – made of balsa wood strips and covered with paper or fabric, which was then painted with fuel-proof 'dope'. There were several companies that made this; some were powered by a rubber band, others were designed to permit the hobbyist to attach one of those glo-plug engines.
So you'd spend hours – if not days – assembling the kit and installing the U-control hardware. Then came the moment when you'd take it out, and – if you were able to get the engine started – maybe get two circles in before the inexperienced or nervous hands on the U-control handle caused the plane to go up and then down, resulting in an impact so destructive that even NTSB experts couldn't have reconstructed the bits of torn paper and balsa-wood toothpicks scattered around the crash site.
