I was out with a mate flying his model DC3 with 4 cox .35 engines, down in Au back in 89 when he handed me the control unit.
Here he said, I'll get us another brew I told him you better let me get the brews and you fly the plane because I'm libel to make a big crater in the ground with it. Sure enough it wasn't 10 seconds later when I yelled its coming down, its coming down Hurry its going to crash. He grabbed the unit it was dead stick right into a paddock with 3 ft of water. turns out the control unit had shorted out somehow. Wasn't pretty, too bad there was no one around with a hand held super 8 movie camera would have been a spectacular film to have been sold to Hollywood
