The Slime049 is all set sans hooking up the servos. You will either see a spectacular crash or a spectacular flight...either way it'll be spectacular.

you guys be sure and post some pictures of these spectacles, and I don't mean the bifocals, either!

I can say that because I wear bifocals, too.

I'd put one up now but I'm pretty concerned about any bad karma that may come from it. [8D]

A practice lap a day keeps the Shop Vac away.

Whoa Vic,

Pretty wing Dude! If I were an air molecule I'd slide right off that sucker. But a more practical use might be slicing baloney - haaaaw!

Vic, Vic, Vic,

I'd love to sit here in my expensive Southern mansion and swap insults with you all evening. However I feel that my valuable time would be better spent loading my mini van with the models that will dominate the air tomorrow morning! Good night Sweet Prince.

Karma is a b@#H!
I was just doing a little mod to the firewall to allow the bladder to fit without problems and the drill bit grabbed and spun the whole plane ripping out the fw and snapping the tail off. Even after 25 years of working in a machine shop I don't know enough bad words to say right now to make me feel better[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

Dah steeinkieen Rajul gonna bea all aaalone doin ughlieemited...coorses!

Guys, I planned and scraped and saved and connived and nothing worked; I just am gonna have to miss it, and I'm sorry I can't be there 'cause that darn four-letter word got in the way. I will be looking forward to some great pix, though, and I'll be there in spirit anyway. Here's hoping all have a good time, and I promise to plan futher in advance for the next one; maybe there will be another event soon nearby. I really wanted to meet y'all in person, 'cause this forum is about the only socializing I get to do. Have fun, keep safe, and make lots of noise and nitro fumes. Maybe the wind will be the right direction and I'll catch a whiff. Wolfy

Oh man - that plane was a beaut - and in my favorite colors: carbon fiber and yellow. I even said a few words when I read your post.

Guys... don't feel too bad for Vicman..... first the 'claim' of destruction... then a 'double post' of how he's "going to bed".... I think I smell a "snake in the grass" .... and you-know-who will be at the race with his carbon fiber and yellow plane bearing his Best TD........ As for Raymond.... I won't even TRY to guess what he's up to! Just "BEWARE" of the wolf in sheep's clothing. Trophies mean EVERYTHING !!

No rat here. The story is 100% true and verified. The double post was an RCU glitch.[:@]

Yeah, we are done and had another awsome day. I didn't get any pics this time as I was too busy flying and stuff.

Ok boise. The Slimo49 has been re-fused and getting ready for some paint. Dunno when the next race is going to be but this plane is gonna be there.

No pix this time...aint gonna do it till after a maiden.[>:]

For a really good flight report and a pic of the kids see this month's Model Aviation, District VI report. Nice job Bob.
