MOM is still on my calendar. My tried-n-true Twin-Tail Twin Air and VQ Blackwidow are ready to go. And I am on track to having the Duellist with me if it survives the maiden- I am powering it with a pair of JETT FIRE 50's and custom-tuned nitro pipes, so bring your earplugs and radar guns. Walt

Maybe next year I will have my C-130 ready for this event. THis is relatively close to my house. For now, I'll keep my fingers crossed and continue my build. Mike

Ed_Moorman -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (4/25/2007 2:07:10 AM)
My motel reservations are made and my boss has signed off on leave. Flaps has my Double Sonic (two 25 sized Sonic kits a la P-82) ready to test. We are waiting on some exhaust extensions since I had him side mount the engines and the mufflers didn't clear. Mark Pfeiffer is still on to come with me. He has his TwinStar and also my old Twin Stick. I told him Robby wasn't allowed to fly it. :) edit: ( Robby: I'll steal it when he ain't lookin' ) ;)

What a fantastic idea: a multi engine fun fly. I wish I could make it.

UkerDuker -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (5/24/2007 4:28:40 AM)
I actually might have my Hawkeye ready for this event.... Mike

Ed_Moorman -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (6/11/2007 11:55:42 PM)
Less than 2 weeks to Multis-Over-McDonough! See you guys there.

yl5295 -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (6/13/2007 5:06:28 PM)
Due to personal reasons (selling my house) I will not be able to make the event. However to show my support of this multi-engine event and to help promote it, I will offer TwinSync products at the event for 50% off!!!. You must be present/participate at the event to get one at this price. So if you are near the area and either have a twin or are thinking about getting a twin, going to this event will let you save a bundle on a TwinSync and optional acessories (glow drivers and displays). TwinSync 2.0 normally $99.95 at Multis over McDonough $50 Glowdriver normally $49.95 at Multis over McDonough $25 Remote Display normally $39.95 at Multis over McDonough $20 See Robby there if you want one.

Robby -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (7/11/2007 7:43:21 PM)
Okkayyy.. Multi's over McDonough is now in the books.. There was a decent turnout of pilots and a great turnout of spectators. Henry County RC did a fantastic job of providing grille cooked burgers and dogs.. Only a couple minor mishaps. Many great flights . There was a visit from George Lumpkin known as Twinman of the forums. Sadly Ed Moorman took extremely ill and was unable to make it this year.. He has now recovered and is back to his normal self.. :) Bo Ingram brought out a few planes and spent much time flying his various entries.. Walt Kahres brought his beautiful P-61 again and made quite a showing.. Jim Brooks was in attendence as well again this year but didn't have his large Burelli ready.. But he made up for it by flying the heck out of his Twin Stick .. On a side note, one of HCRC newest members, Zach Levy soloed that week end and moved into his second airplane.. This 13 year old is sharp as heck and for just starting out is doing really great.. Congradulations Zach.. And in addition his father, Scott, also soloed same week end.. The family that flies together, solos together.. :D A big thanks goes out to all of the Henry County RC club and especially Jeff adams and Wes Walton and his son Joe.. They really worked hard to make this event a success.. Thank you guys..

Ed_Moorman -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (7/11/2007 8:38:03 PM)
Did you get any pictures??? I'm sorry I missed the meet, but I was thinking about you guys, at least I think I was thinking of you. I was in the hospital that Saturday, Sunday & Monday on an IV getting demerol for pain. I was flying, maybe soaring is the better term. A whole year I wait for this meet and that's the weekend I get sick. Rats! I hadn't been in the hospital for 30 years before this. edit: glad you are all better now Ed... We all missed you..

Robby -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (7/11/2007 9:06:05 PM)
Soooooooooooo,, you want pictures do you.... So how is this for a couple pics.... First up is Larry Wilson from the Hoosier state and his RCM plans Twinstar from about 20 years ago... Larry was kind enough to allow people fly his plane, heck, he even let me fly it.. :) It may be an old treasure of a plane but didn't stop from flying the heck outta it.. Next we have Jim Daniels with his electric P-38.. He was busy flying this one as well.. Robby brought a silver one and both Robby and Jim did a formation fly.. At one point it was soo close the peanut gallery thought it was over for the two of them.. :)

Robby -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (7/11/2007 9:15:58 PM)
Here we have Jim Brooks landing a tad harder than he should of.. Just a minor gear knock off, little epoxy and back up it goes.. Jim won this plane last year and has been happily flying it a lot.. :D Vic and Dan Echevarria who are Father and son brought of a few including this Hobbico Twinstar.. Looks like the brakes failed once too many times.. [:(] Both super nice people..

Robby -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (7/11/2007 9:24:25 PM)
And of course, Walt Kahres came and brought his P-61 and his NE Aero twin.. Walt hasn't gotten out much this year and was a little more reserved than usual but still put on quite a show.. The first three of Walt horsing the NE Aero twin.. The next are of Walt and twinman starting up the P-61.. This plane is always a show stopper every time it takes to the air.. Walt gave a good showing with this plane.. Sadly he had a little trouble on landing but managed to get away some minor wing breakage and a bent leading gear strut.. OK Walt,, now that you have broken it we DO expect you to get really radical with it in the future.. <LOL> :D :D

Robby -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (7/11/2007 9:34:59 PM)
Next up, I'm embarrased to say, I don't remember this gentlemans name or the type of plane.. However, I was in awe the way he flew it.. The plane I think was about a 15' wingspan, weigh'd 45 pounds, and is powered by two Honda four stroke gasoline engines.. Yesss,, four stoke GAS engines.. :) Was amasing to watch him fly it to the ground and put the wing tip ON the ground and keep flying for about fifty feet like this then level out and fly away.. He was not affraid to fly it, thats for sure... And to think he brought it in a mini van... [8D]

Robby -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (7/11/2007 9:42:49 PM)
Bo Igram came with a few planes including this Cox Duelist.. Plane was rock steady and Bo showed everyone what it would do.. ;) He also brought out a Cedar Hobbies Twin Stick which sadly the tail departed from the plane.. The glue joint was good, just inferior wood failed and as much as he tried he couldn't save it.. Total loss as he was rather high when it came down into the hard clay ground..

Robby -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (7/11/2007 9:47:19 PM)
Here are couple of the different planes at the field.. Little electric Skymaster was just wayyy too cute and it did well.. Dual Ace from Horizon.. Hobbico Twinstar..

Build-n-flyer-RCU -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (7/12/2007 2:50:23 AM)
Ed, I was very glad to hear that you are OK. We were a bit worried! And yes we missed you! Robby, those sure are some outstanding pics of my P-61 crash... ouch!!! Looking at the pictures its hard to believe that the damage is limited to the gear and the one wing, but I've checked it over and that's about it. The new struts and wing tube should arrive any day now. A few weekends and the 'Widow should look like new. I plan to stick to single-engine sport planes until our new field is ready and I can get in some stick time. My fingers should be in much better shape next year. It was great seeing you and the rest of the guys again. And thanks to the Henry County R/C club for hosting! Walt

PT21Flyer -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (2/10/2008 6:22:31 PM)
Is there going to be a MOM for 2008?

Robby -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (2/11/2008 6:31:13 AM)
Currently,, it is being discussed... How many would like to see it happen again...? And,, what would be the best time to have it...?

PT21Flyer -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (2/14/2008 3:36:33 AM)
Robby, Last year's dates were good. I've been trying to make it there since it began. I'm going to try again this year and bring my Britten-Norman Islander and Sr. Falcon Twin. Will watch this post for updates. Jerry

PT21Flyer -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (4/9/2008 4:35:18 AM)
Any news yet on MOM 2008?

Robby -> RE: Multi's Over McDonough * (event)* (4/9/2008 5:59:20 AM)

Very impressive to watch fly

Props4ever, I think that post was from Mike last year prior to the horrible maiden crash of his E-3 Hawkeye, I believe Mike is still OS for his job. I could be completely wrong about everything and have just wasted 3 minutes of my time and yours but thought I'd post anyway since I can't go flying right now!!! Best to everyone!!!
