Ah yes "peg clipped to your antenna" yes I remember that!

I used to belong to the "Nene Valley Aeromodellers" and as I have
found with
a lot of "plank" flyers clubs they do not like helicopters! so
when I was
there and the planks turned up I had to fly down the field on my own! and
on
the last occasion I left my named cloths peg on the "board" and
took my
frequency peg and got on with some flying (loose term)  then on my return
my
named peg was gone! I eventually found one of the plank flyers had taken it
thinking it was the frequency peg!!! prat! my named peg is painted yellow
and has my name on it!!! needless to say I had an argument about it and
left! toooooo dangerous, a heli is quite often flown close to the flyer one
thing you do not want is someone on the same frequency! my petrol heli has
heavy fibreglass main rotor blades of about 2 metres in diameter, that
would
hurt if it hit you!

About 6 years later there is now a thriving heli part albeit restricted!
