Take away your kids cell phones and bring back board games.

You. precut the strip for the steps now I understand. I thought you were precutting for the whole house. I'm not the smartest fish in the sea, as you can tell.

You just gave me a great idea

Anyone fly RC planes?
This kind of control is off the charts. Skip ahead to the 8:00 point.
I hope this dude never gets a real plane.

I tried flying a R/C plane ONCE! It was wire controlled, where you let it circle around you. I made it 3/4 around when I pulled instead of pushed, and down it went. That was my last R/C flight....circa 1970?

Mine wasn't R/C. it was the real deal when in the Navy. I flew crew member many times and was given controll many times. I knew the route from Pensacola to New Orleans by the highway below so it was a 2 hour flight there. and 2 back giving me my flight time for the month. Anyway I had control and the pilot was taking a seiesta and all of a sudden the engines coughed and the props slowed down. My instinct was to pull back on the stick trying to make it climeb instead of fall.The pilot came awake at the first cough and switched gas tanks and grabbed the hand pump to put gas back in the engines which they caught and started running again. My action of pulling on the stick could have put us in a stall.
