I actually enjoy watching and flying it all. Whether it's 3ding with the aerobats, flying my giant corsair or speeding around with my jet!!! I like going to Joe Nall as there's always something that I haven't seen and many pilots better than I am that I can pick up tricks from.....

As most of you, I always enjoy going to Joe Nall. Mr. Hartness and the crew deserve a humongous round of applause for their efforts in putting on an event such as this. I have enjoyed the camping on site. My pop up is right at home next to the big rigs. The showers, BBQ, hospitality are all top notch.

However, I am very disappointed in the same display of flying from the aerobatic crowd. I know Matt Chapman is a wonderfull human being and extremely talented pilot.......but this is a model flying event. Or I thought it was. Granted, the aerobatic stuff is not my interest, but I acknowledge their skills in piloting their aircraft. It does seem that those aircraft are becoming more and more highlighted at this event. Don't get me started on their flying routines directly in the flight path in the middle of the runway.

Enough ranting. See you back there next year.

I would have to agree there. But I guess I'll have to wait 'till I get my 52% extra.

Mirwin and Bipe2: I originally got into this because I wanted to fly scale, but now I enjoy both scale and aerobatic stuff. Frankly we got tired of seeing everybody's P-51 doing low passes over and over again. If it were my show I'd have the aerobatics and 3D stuff in close, and ask the scale guys to keep all those low passes over the far side of the runway.
And I really liked the Matt Chapman show. I hope they keep that up.

I agree with snowmass... I think maybe the 3 cylinder mustang was the coolest plane at Joe Nall... but if I think if I saw one more warbird low pass I was gonna puke. IMO it is harder for other planes to take off and land with high speed low passes than slow speed 3d over the runway.

Chapman and Mike got shafted I think this year in when they were allowed to fly on Friday. Thursdays show was nothing compared to last year. All because some people whined and complained that they didn't get more time to fly.

I would like to extend my gratitude to Pat Hartness and the confederate air farce for their unique event. After attending now, for several years, I would like to pass on a few rules that I try to follow. These might make your next Joe Nall more enjoyable. The slower plane has the right away, landings have priority over take off, limit your flights to 15 minutes max time, be courteous to others, have your spotter watch what is in front of you not your plane, ask your spotter if it is clear to be able to do a maneuver. Then after your flight, if possible, exit north or south of flight stations. If you make a mistake and offend or endanger someone, apologize for it. When flying over the runway, keep the plane in a forward motion. Its also been my pleasure to fly with some of the best RC pilots in the country; remember keep it a hobby! Now lets fly!

Hey Mike Badger, Last year they shut to flight line down on Friday for 4 hours to fly the full scale Cap, Extra and AT6s and seemed like 1000 demo flights. It was like a 4 hour commercial. Yes it was cool to see the big planes but I came to see and fly models. NC has many Airshow every year, when I want to see a F/S fly I'll go to them.
I had to leave friday morning so I can't comment on this years Friday, but last year was OVERKILL!

BTW thursdays show was perfect this year!

Hi Drake, I guess the mustang survived another Nall? that's 3 in a row, right? Shame about Rick Corsair though. Anyways see you around at the locals

One more thing guys, If I could have stayed longer, My Mustang would have been a LOW PASS MUSTANG. ZOOOM!!!

Ya I agree the demos take way to much time last year Id rather watch the Pros flying the full scale than electric planes that are the size of a small dinner plate or some racers doing half a dozen high speed passes.

Bipe2, you're right! I very much appreciate the skill it must require to stand a plane on its tail like that, and I'm very impressed when I see it done. Frankly, I wish I was that good. But I'm a warbird lover, and I like to fly as scale as possible. The aerobats just don't it for me. And my guess is that the great pilots that fly the aerobatics aren't very interested in my warbirds either. I know they wouldn't be very impressed with my flying a WW-II fighter or medium bomber to scale.

There were warbirds... but it is hard to notice the 50 or so that were there when there's over a thousand planes tossed around.

I for one love the aerobatics stuff now as do most young pilots however I can really appreciate the time and effot put into these warbirds and I do enjoy watching them fly. Waiting for that inevitable landing where either the gear doesnt come down or they collapse or they nose over hahaha j/k
