AEDC Coffee Air Foilers: Still flying after 50 years
Rich Eichel, a member of the ATA safety staff, retrieves one of his planes during the Coffee Airfoilers Model Airplane Club’s annual electric-only flying event in 2010. He said the aircraft “bit the dust” on the next flight, a case of operator error. He said when flying a plane upside down, it is important to keep your orientation. In his case, he pulled back on the stick, which brought the aircraft down, rather than pushing the stick forward, which was now up. (Photo provided)
