I strung a 70 foot rope between 2 trees ~30' high and
ran an electical wire from the rope center to near ground
level to electrically power a tethered A/C. It had thrust
and elevator power. Of course one could use various
props. It was a very popular toy. People would go by
in their boats and watch it fly around, it was on a plateau
just off the lake.

Wow! that sounds real cool! Can you post some pics of it somewhere?
I'm real intersted in model airplanes and hope to build one one day I can
use as a prototype I might have in mind for making a wood and/or fiberglass
aluminum composite maybe for commercial use in the long distant future.
Thanks!

Back in the 80's, the techno existed to develope a
shoulder launched guided missile that could deliver
a kiloton explosion anywhere on the planet.
I asked Reagan and Gorbetrov if they wanted us to
develope that weapon, they said wait, cuz they did
not have the arm skills to regulate a policy to cover
that type of weapon., fair enough, the program is on
pause.

Spelling corrections:
develope =develop
Gorbetrov = Gorbachov
Ken = delusional
