RC Helo Found In NJ Back Yard

Aircraft Discovered By Homeowner Gathering Firewood

While Mayer Dubinsky was out gathering some small twigs to add to a fire over which he was grilling his family's Thanksgiving turkey, he came across an RC helicopter lying on the ground in the woods behind his home in Hackettstown, NJ.

Dubinsky wrote on a community website that it "must have blown off course," according to a report appearing on the lehighvallylive.com website of the Express Times newspaper. The aircraft is reportedly more than a toy, but not as large as the gas-powered helicopters flown by a nearby RC club. It is powered by rechargeable batteries. "It has to be somebody really close by. It doesn't fly far," he wrote.

Dubinsky said that so far, the owner of the aircraft has not been found. Meanwhile, he said his son Ethan, age nine, thinks the aircraft is pretty cool. He said Ethan has mixed feelings about finding the owner of the helo, and that he'd like to see the aircraft fly. Dubinsky said they probably live too far from the nearby Top O' New Jersey R/C club for the aircraft to belong to one of its members.
