High Wires

by TY

I've been flying the same plane at the same field for 3 years. I know the power lines are about 1200 feet to the right but for some reason I made a wide turn coming in for a landing and hit the wires. Didn't think I was out that far.
Need to use land marks and always pay attention especially after you make changes - sometimes a prop change will make your model faster.

 Bad luck!

I did the same with a tree once, but have never flown into wires (yet...)
Use of landmarks and paying attention to modifications of your model - good advice indeed! ;-)
