    Status: offline     		Just one more shot. This building is available for lease, I have estimated yearly expenses to be between 40 to 60K complete. I am not sure if there is enough interest in the area to generate the funds needed to make this a viable entity. I am finding a few interested people who are in favor of aquiring this building. This site is best for people on the eastern half of NJ. It is with in a 1 hour drive of Long Beach Island, NYC, and Six Flags Great Adventure.

    Status: offline     		Here's a photo of Vertical ts hovering in the Kmart parking lot tonight.
    We flew under the lights in light wind with our local hobby guy KKK.
    Kareful Kenny K. He was doing some textbook flat turns and starting to learn how to hover. I made some amazing saves and earned the new nick name Lunch Box. Kenny was lighting em up at the castle. gonna need some extra bleach in the whites on laundry day Mrs. K.

    You guys gotta try flying under the lights. It's fun to climb up into the dark and loose site of your plane for a few seconds. Plus, winds are usually lighter at night.

    Status: offline     		Those ruins look like a building in a quarry where I mountain bike. I have often thought of flying in there, except I'd need to bike in my plane (fragile).

    I agree on the night flying. Once I get back from my 2 week vacation, I'll get more time to explore. There is a great shopping center around the corner from me with 50 foot high lights.

    Syracuse isn't that far from the Jersey Shore.
    To boost attendance I'm going to hire strippers for a half time floor show. We can also do tail touches on their implants.

    Yes, I can see attendance will be very high.

    Regarding hinges, I've not ever had a problem with the scotch tape method recommended. I used the tape provided in the kit, and it's survived well so far for me. Be sure to bevel the foam aileron and leave a tiny gap that's big enough for the deflection you want (45-50 degrees). Crease the tape down tightly into the bottom "V" of the hinge as well.

    some guys are ironing the tape down a little to smooth it out and get it to stick better, but I didn't find that necessary yet. The tape they give you is pretty good, although it looks like common scotch tape (the shiny tuff, not the "invisible" stuff that looks frosty for gift wrap.

    For any of you guys that fly at night,lets see a picture your parking lot's.It would be interesting to see what type of lighting you are flying under.I have grown to like the amber light because i feel that they are a little softer on my eyes.I will post a pic of our lot in a few days
