Like a lot of kids, I got into model airplanes. I built a kit with the classes 0.049 engine on it and learned the basics of U-control. I moved up to a .35 and a balsa wood airplane. It had a wing shape that was the same top or bottom. My Air Force pilot father said it can't fly. But the power to weight ratio was more than enough to fly with ease and I had a lot of fun with it. And yes, even when the engine ran out of gas it would glide down just fine to a safe landing.
