Loved flying my R/C planes on days with a steady wind. Mainly making backwards rolling take offs, landings, and touch and go's. Rigged one of my planes with flaperons that went both down as flaps, and up as revers flaps. Reverse flaps really helped keep it on the ground taxiing around in the wind.

We had Fun Fly's where there were various competitions. One event was always trying to see how many touch and go's you could do touching down within a 5ft chalked square on the runway. Anything over 10 usually won it.

One year about 25 of us build the same cheap plane kit with the same engine to race and compete in the fun fly competitions with. By the end of the summer they planes were getting pretty ragged. The last event of the season we placed a barrell out in the middle of the runway and the closest person to dive and crash in the barrel won and new plane kit for the next year. It was hilarious most just dove straight down into the runway. One guy actually stuffed it into the barrel.
