Are your lines too long?? Some indicators.

I posted this at the humor section, and I am looking for good ideas to improve it...

1- the new lines you bought were made in a "decimal" country, and you're not sure what 60Km means (maybe it's another way of writing 60'...)

2- The reel feels kinda heavy

3- It takes longer the you thought to walk to the handle.

4-Your helper looks like a dwarf (he's 8' tall!)

5- You realize you Magnum looks like a 1/2 A.

6- The lap should be around 5 seconds, not 5 minutes!

7- You do the wingover and almost hit a 707.

8 - Your model got shot at by Iraki fire...

9- the police and a UN car stop at the field, and you can see the Chineses embassador, he looks very upset.

10- You read on the newsspaper that Putin is angry with the US because a small spy aircract was seen over Russia

Your flying in New Jwrsey and are charged with violation of air space regulations in D.C.

By the time you finished, she already ran off with Ben Affleck.

Ion, what is 60km in REAL numbers?

When a flock of meadow larks perches on them, and are obviously enjoying the breeze.

Your plane has a 5oz tank and it runs out of fuel while you run to pick up your handle.

Thanks

You do a very nice wingover but your plane burns up on re-entry...

You get a noise complaints from other zip codes...

You have to refuel between each maneuver...

You buy your line reels from the power companny...

Cleaning your lines requires a day off from work...

Oh boy...

God bless!

How about:

Wing icing on overheads.

Need a walkie talkie to set your elevator level.

Laying out and rolling up the lines takes the whole flying day.

NORAD goes on yellow alert.

OK, guys, I am going to have to glean all the good ideas and add this to the main web site under the "Top ten lists" And, hey, I can't count, so it may go a little higher than ten.

I will give proper credit to whomever I steal ideas from.

And, no, there will be no royalties paid.

After one lap your paint has faded

The earth spins faster then you do.

There are now TWO man made things that can be seen from space.

It takes two days for your plane to repond to your hand movements.

When you pack up after 2 flights, your brand new 2004 ship it is now OTS legal.

By the time you have done one lap, your 3 year old daughter is married with kids of her own.

The Pattern takes so long you recieve a Nobel Peace Prize for being Out-Standing in your field. ( sorry bout that one )

This actually happened to the Oriental I built with Polyspan.

BTW: 60km = 6000meters = 19,685.039 ft =37.28329 miles

Hey!

I was supposed to be the funny guy!

Funny, yes and strange too.

Suddenly, Pluto captures a new moon.

One flight covers 17 Area Codes.

Matty Sullivan personally thanks you for the doubling of his company's stock price.

Four ounces of fuel takes you one minute of arc.

Forget the Great Wall. Astronautics can spot a second manmade object.

Gosh Len,

I think the humor section of the board got lost in the recent magnetic sun storms!

Your lines are too long if that tree that was 200 yards outside the circle has suddenly pulled up it's roots and moved inside the circle.

The judges deduct points for the gravitational pull of the Moon giving you inconsistant lap times.

deduct points for the curve of the earth causing the bottoms of manuvers to be different heights.

deduct points for level flight when you have to climb or dive to avoid interplanetary spacecraft.

Geostationary sattelites show a picture of your plane in the middle of your local weather screen.

you receive signals from ET's through your handle.

Your overhead eights are around the Moon and Venus.

Your plastic pilot gets vertigo on a wingover.

You can fly at the Worlds....no matter what countrythey're in, from the comfort of your lounge room.

When you're done, your plane has tourist stickers on it from around the globe.

I can see you fly ( I live in New Zealand )

By the time I get to the handle, I've forgotten where I was going. The woods are that direction. I must be going to pee. Steve

Windy has time to buff your plane.
The Walker Cup is re-named after Paul Walker.
Control line flying becomes a profession.
Windy wins the NATS.
Hobbie shops carry control line equipment.
Dope doesn't smell anymore.
You have to have a permit to fly in that area code
Your tires rot
The person holding the plane gets a cramp
AND THE LAST
the U-key won the nats..

A true story:
A buddy of mine likes odd projects. I will not mention his name.
He built a plane for 100-foot lines. All was fine until the prop came loose in flight and the plane landed with a shaft run. By the time he ran the 100 feet to shut it off, the plane had shaken apart.
I guess those lines were too long.

Jimmie got his Weedeater powered CL model to fly?! NAW! Steve

Okay, one more...

Your five foot bottoms are beyond the horizon...

A single lap breaks Maynard Hill's new distance record...

(Sorry, I lied up at the top, there...)

God bless!

I realized my lines were too long when my plane started flying little decreasing circles around the flag pole in the distance....(grins)

One BIG indicator that your lines are too long is when you reach post number 25 and the flame icon comes on.

Yup, youse guyses lines is getting too long.
