See you Saturday at Airpark.

Kurt

High Plains - will you be there?

Yes Kurt, I'm finishing up a Sky Raider and the Quickie is on charge. I'm going to test fly the Raider in a couple hours if all goes well. Just love that crappy metric hardware.

We'll keep you in mind with some 12 oz. curls Gordo.

Status: offline 		Well, we did the 12-oz. curls, but it had to be root beer. Regular beer would've interfered with the meds we all had to take after Bozarth missed the runway, dropped a wheel into a prairie dog hole and the little darlings came swarming out and infected us all with the plague. (I'll bet you thought "Black Death" was just something from Orbit R/C's 1972 product line.)

The Sky Raiders are a hoot; it's sort of like zeppelin racing. When the wind came up, they stopped in midair and we all ran out of fuel trying to claw our way to #1. So the finish was determined by the distance traveled before impact.

The fast Quickies (AMA 428) fared a little better, but wind was a problem there, too. Dible placed 2nd, thanks in large part to the style bonus we gave him for his deadstick touch-and-go followed by a slow half-snap to inverted and a soft 3-point touchdown. The 3 points, in this case, consisted of the needle valve and both tips of the V tail. I don't know who won; I was chased from the field by a swarm of West Nile mosquitoes and missed the award ceremony.

But seriously, there were no crashes, no life-threatening infections, and a good time was had by all.

Been there, done that. About 1/4 to 3/8" on the Thumper.
