I took my axn out today for a quick flight. I got her all ready, and checked the functions. I realized I had forgotten tape, which I use to keep the wings on. I resigned myself to fly her gently, and launched her out over a fifteen foot drop over a frozen pond.
Nice, flat, graceful flight. For fifteen feet. I pulled back a tiny bit, and gave her a bit more throttle.
Then, twenty five feet away, she stopped in midair. Complete stop. No forward momentum. I hear fapfapfapfapfapfapfap, and watch pieces of foam disperse in a dense, but quickly widening cloud. I see what is left of the wings turn sideways, parallel to the fuselage, and the whole thing drops straight down.
I don't know if it is a normal reaction, but I couldn't stop laughing. I have never seen a plane stop in midair to eat itself before.
