I'm still working on the landing. That's the hardest thing. In the early afternoon the remote control airplane enthusiasts begin to gather around the trees, unloading their trucks and assembling their various planes. Some, like Cedar Grove resident and 10-year model airplane pilot Johnny Jones, have three or four planes, each designed for a specific use, each with its own capabilities. It calms my nerves.
Some planes fly differently than others.
Meanwhile, Brannon prepares a plane that is more simply built than some others at the field. With a fuselage that is designed for carrying different payloads, like paratroopers and streamers, he can attach a variety of wings, including one with two props. I've knocked down several, and I have been knocked down some. Streamers are tied from the rear of the planes and the opponent tries to cut them off mid-flight. However, some collisions, as Brannon explained, do occur.
