Does Dave Have a Death Ray?
Yesterday during wing to wing combat, Dave North killed me twice.
In both instances, he collided with my wing, which then lost power and promptly dropped from the sky.
Usually, my wings literally bounce back from impact, continuing their flights to fight again.
Secret Weapon? These suspicious crashes lead me to suspect that he’s developed a Death Ray, or some other sort of WWD (Weapon of Wing Destruction).
Dave, of course, denies everything.
A quick frisk of his 24-inch wing revealed no suspicious technology.
Perhaps it’s concealed in his sunglasses…

One thing I can tell you for sure: it’s not a miniature neutron bomb, but you probably figured that out. Definitely not a directed microwave attack. Both can be ruled out for obvious reasons. However, I will point out that our wings operate in two different spectra. Do the math.
This had nothing to do with Area 51, the Kennedy Assassination, or the recent spate of unprovoked attacks on the public by disgruntled models (the female sort).

Talk about a Death Ray. Pete put a Ronnie Lott on me today that broke a prop, the aileron linkage, two servo gears and — get this — bent a mini EZ connect.
Now that’s a killer hit!
