On a Kulula flight, (there is no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced,
"People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!"

---o0o---

On landing, the stewardess said,
"Please be sure to take all of your belongings.. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have."

----o0o---

"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane."

---o0o---

"Thank you for flying Kulula. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."

---o0o---

As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Durban Airport , a lone voice came over the loudspeaker:
"Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

---o0o--

---

From a Kulula employee:
"Welcome aboard Kulula 271 to Port Elizabeth . To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."

---o0o---

"In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child, pick the one with the most potential."

---o0o---

"Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Kulula Airlines."
our seats cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."

---o0o---

"As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses.."

---o0o---

And from the pilot during his welcome message:
"Kulula Airlines is pleased to announce that we have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"
heard on Kulula 255 just after a very hard landing in Cape Town : The flight attendant came on the intercom and said,
"That was quite a bump and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt."

Overheard on a Kulula flight into Cape Town , on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain really had to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said,
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to The Mother City. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"

Setting up an F3J glider
Below are the recommended throws, for my Experienced Pro

Control throws in mm.  
Adjust to personal preferences.
Ailerons -16 +8
Elevator -8 +8
Rudder -10 +8
Aileron to rudder mix around 30-50% but adjust to taste.
Aileron to flap mix, Flap -5 +2 if you use it.
Launch
Flaps +9 aileron +7 adjust elevator to suite.
No aileron to flap mix or aileron to rudder mix.
Butterfly/Crow
Flaps +100 or as much as possible up to 90 degrees.
Ailerons -4
Elevator +5 or more to compensate.
Thermal
Flaps +3 Ailerons +1
Speed

these are the mixes I used on my Turnigy 9X, aileron and flaps are duplicated, I used 30 of the 32 available mixes.
I have used the last two for fine flap adjustment

Curves: the 1st figure is the percentage of up, 2nd mid up, 3rd mid stick, 4th half stick down 5th  full stick down
!D0, ID1 and ID2 are the positions of the three position switch

The wing spans on F3J gliders has increased to about 4 metres with only 1.5 metre fuselages yaw control can be a problem.
These gliders use 5 flight phases: 

1. cruise where they fly about looking for lift,
2.  thermal where the trailing edge is lowered to allow them to fly slower
3. speed where the trailing edge is raised to reduce drag when penetrating up wind,
4.  launch with the trailing edge lowered, this is reduced as the  model increases in speed
5.  and landing with the flaps lowered and ailerons reflexed  to lower stall speed

F3J launches are not for the faint hearted see this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5YsjEyO7-U
