Good morning to all-
Well, this morning was perfect- low wind, partly cloudy to dim the bright morning sun- so I grabbed up one of my little microwarbirds- the Japanese Zero, which is by the way, my best rc plane- and I headed to the flying field.
Took off, flew well, did a few loops and rolls when I saw a flock of three crows flying toward my little plane. These aerial ruffians took turns diving on my plane. So I took evasive action, I pulled up sharply, rolled to the right and then swooped behind one of the crows. He tried to get away, but I stayed on his tail. This crow made a hasty departure. Then another of the crows attacked, so I evaded it and rolled over and got behind this bad bird. It too decided to leave. The final crow made a half-hearted pass at my plane and when I got behind it and chased it a bit, it left.
All I can say is this: those crows had best be glad that my little Zero warbird was not armed like the original Zeros- these crows would have been in deep trouble. I could have smoked them all.
Brought the little Zero in for a perfect roll to stop landing on the roadway.
good start to the morning after a vicious attack, I'd say.
You all be safe and keep well- Ed
