Flying with James

James came down and joined me at the flying field today to do some flying.
He got in 5 or 6 nice flights on 3 different planes before he had to head home.  I had rebuilt his favorite plane and put a motor on it with 2 or 3 times the power it used to have, he really enjoyed it!  It was sure nice to have him out there.
A bunch of us were watching Mike and Gary shoot touch and goes when someone noticed this plane hanging in a tree South of the field.  After they were done flying, Mike, Allison and Gary went down to see if they could get it out.
Gary is in the brush knocking it out with the poles.
They were successful, there are 6 or 7 people in the club with that same plane, so they got on their cell phones and finally found the owner.  He came down and picked it up later, he was not sure what went wrong, but it had some kind of control problem and he couldn't control it.
