Jean said, "...I seem to remember that the late, great Jim Walker experimented 
with 
sonic controls on a large glider. He would launch it, then walk under it 
giving voice commands."

 

Jean, you're correct. That glider, complete with the large circular microphone 
cones on each side of the fuselage (they look more like speakers), is on 
display in the AMA Museum in Muncie. But I believe he used a whistle or some 
other simple sound to control the glider. Don't quote me on this.
