Glide Time: The time between the engine falling out and the airplane hitting the ground.
(Hmm... This one sounds familiar)
Dead Stick: Two of these can be found on your transmitter after failing to properly charge your batteries.
Fail Safe: Option on PCM radio's that allows a pilot to choose whether to crash near him, or a long way away
Glitch: What you shout when you pull up elevator while flying inverted at 10 feet.
INSTRUCTOR: Old pilot who loves flying and teaching others to fly...usually can not tell you how many planes he has crashed.
An 80-year-old man went to the doctor for a check-up and the doctor was amazed at what good shape the guy was in. The doctor asked, "To what do you attribute your good health?"
The old timer said, "I'm an R/C pilot and that's why I'm in such good shape. I'm up just after daylight and out chasing thermals up and down the mountains."
The doctor said, "Well, I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your dad when he died?"
The old timer said, "Who said my dad's dead?" The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your dad's still alive? How old is he?" The old timer said, "He's 100 years old and, in fact, he flew Zagis with me this morning, and that's why he's still alive, he's an R/C flyer."
The doctor said, "Well, that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it. How about your dad's dad? How old was he when he died?" The old timer said, "Who said my grandpa's dead?"
The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living! How old is he?" The old timer said, "He's 118 years old." The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and said, "I guess he went flying with you this morning too?"
The old timer said, "No, Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he got married." The Doctor said in amazement, "Got married!! Why would a 118-year-old guy want to get married?" The old timer said, "Who said he wanted to?"
