Don't do it myself but I tried a few years back and made a real mess of it. Brother had an old Magnatila ( basically a Fokker E.III) and at a distance I couldn't tell which way up it was and handed the controls back to him. At the minute he has a 1/6th scale Sea Fury almost ready to fly. Willl try to get some pics of it. The club he used to go to was run by a guy called Smitty (used to run the model shop in Whitley Bay). Apparently he did a lot of the R/C work for the BoB film. He had a Do-17 ready for the film and was testing it at the field but he forgot to unroll the trailing aerial so after a couple of hundred yards he lost control and it was last seen heading out over the North Sea :roll:
