I would like to apologize for setting off an email
firestorm with my speculation that the Secret Service and/or Air Force One were
jamming our RC radio transmissions.
As a test, I went out back and tried
flying the Tiger Moth while John Kerry was in the area yesterday. No
glitches. In fact, the Tiger Moth took off autonomously, flew a
short aerobatic sequence including some axial rolls and an outside loop, and did
a three point landing at my feet.
It was however covered with goose down,
which I do not understand.
Later,
