“A Twist of Fate”

In "A Twist of Fate," Little Archie and Dilton take a field trip with Dilton’s latest invention—a radio-controlled model plane—only to stumble upon the South Side Serpents aiming to shoot down a Peregrine falcon and her chick. With quick thinking and a little help from the plane’s harmless dud bomb, the boys intervene, but not without damage: the Serpents’ BBs destroy the plane’s propeller, leaving Dilton heartbroken just before the model prop meet. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Bolling himself, this 1980 issue features a cover by Dexter Taylor.

While out in a field testing Dilton's new radio-controlled model plane, Little Archie and Dilton see the South Side Serpents preparing to shoot a Peregrine and her baby out of the sky. They use the plane and its little dud bomb to help the falcon and drive the Serpents away. But the Serpents' BBs have battered Dilton's plane, and its propeller falls off. The boys search for the propeller but can't find it anywhere, leaving Dilton unable to enter the plane in the model prop meet.
