Here is another non R/C but defiantly a prolonged well thought out Fart.
Many years ago when I was Young and Bold I came across an older neighborhood gentleman on an uphill side road just a short way up off the main road I was driving on. It was late January well into our BC Interior snow season and He had attempted to drive up the side road a short distance and take His Dog out for some fun. Unfortunately He lost traction and slid backwards and off the road becoming STUCK. Me in My Macho Jacked Up Bronco decided to help the old fellow and His Dog back onto the road. I backed up the hill to just above Him and got out the tow strap, hooked onto the front of His frame and the tow hooks on Bronco, Told Him to put His Mercedes in neutral get His Dog out and stand clear while I pulled the car "UP" and out onto the "UPHILL" road. I then got Him and His Dog to get back in the car steer while I snubbed Him the short distance back down to the main road. End of story, refusal on My part for any gratuities or reward just a handshake and a neighborly know.
Now the good part. the very next winter old fellow now has a BIG Ford Duelly and is heading UP the hill to the development He resides in and comes across a neighbor lady of His who due to driving ability and conditions has nosed Her half ton off the road on Her way "UP" the hill towards home. Being the good Samaritan He is He pulls up behind Her and offers to pull her vehicle back onto the road. I can only assume He remembered the procedure I used when rescuing Him because He told the Gal to put Her truck in neutral and stand aside out of harms way as He hooked up and proceeded to pull Her vehicle back DOWN onto the road and..........
