RE: NW TENN FLYERS
Ok, you have it ready to go. Let's hope the weather holds for Tuesday. It will be interesting to see how the DLE 20 hauls it around. You are just a little over a pound heavier than my Funtana X100 with a DLE 20 in it.

HEY, HEY, HEY!!!!!
Well we flew here in UC today, Frank and myself. Both of us flying our old planes that used to have OS 120 ax in them. We both have DLE 20's in them now. Franks is an H9 Funtana X100 around 9 lbs and mine is a Seagull Ultimate around 10 lbs. I had more fun flying this today than I have had in an while.

That's ok, all those harrier landings in the videos above were worth it. That gear will be back in in no time.

RE: NW TENN FLYERS
Well we managed to get in a good day of flying today here at my place. Finally a day when the wind wasn't blowing 15 to 20 mph! Jack was out and flew his newly re-powered Extra with the DA85 in it. Bill did the maiden on his new 30 cc Goldwing Yak 55. That plane is definitely not underpowered at 9 1/2 lbs with a DLE 30 on it. Jim did a maiden on a new Pilot Sbach/DLE 55. He said it's one of the sweetest flying planes he's ever had. That's saying something because Jim has had a lot of planes! LOL I banged the sticks around on my Funtana today and let Jack have a go at the sticks with it as well. Brought back a lot of memories for him since that used to be his go to plane for a good many years. Jim also flew his Seagull Ultimate and small elelctric Edge 540. Russ sent along his Yak foamy so Jim and I put several flights on it as well. Sure hope the weather in November is better than Oct. We got cheated out of one of the best months of the year to fly this year.........

RE: NW TENN FLYERS
Merry Christmas from Mckenzie as well! Still wanting to get up there and fly with you guys sometime! I'm still flying here at my house. Got my Venus and my 1/4 scale cub in the air for a while yesterday. Also managed to finish off the Balsa Nova.
Elevator quit responding, not sure why cause the servo is still good. I killed the throttle, but it was high up at the time and it went in hard. It has served me well Jim! But it's in about twenty pieces this time and the balsa was starting to get soft anyway. That old .46 fx is still strong as a new one, so I'm gonna move all the guts into a Sometin Extra kit that I just started.
