Open class R/C sailplanes that have carbon wings are perfect for causing
power outages. Their wingspan comfortably bridges 12Kv lines and the carbon
is resistive so you get a really neat arc instead of just tripping the line
breakers.

What eventually falls to the ground is a sort of "ghost of a sailplane". Its
sailplane shaped but has no substance.

On a more serious note, avoid power lines. Responsiblity aside you stand a
good chance of inducing enough current into your radio components to damage
them. They'll also affect your receiver sensitivity.
