Mystery ‘Cessna’
Going towards Old Sarum earlier this year I seemed to be catching up with a ‘Cessna’ quite quickly. This was odd, because you don’t catch up with anything quickly in a Rans…
On fleeting inspection it turned out to be a model aircraft. I’m not sure if it was free flight or an out of range RC model. Being at around 1,400’ it would have been quite difficult to control from the ground anyway.
Perhaps someone with RC Model experience could comment on what happens if a model looses radio contact. Maintains last control / engine settings? Dead man’s hand shut down?
Safe Flying,
