Erik, Rick, and the rest of the gang,

Thanks for the great time! The site is perfect but the time with friends is even better. Hanging out in Hamburg is the new gig.

U think im "da man" for just anybody? You had me at hello. [sm=tongue_smile.gif] ha ha ha j/k Thanks Erik but in all seriousness it is truly my pleasure. You guys took me in like ive been around for years and showed me the true camaraderie of this hobby. People like Rick, Dave, Erik, Lee and Jim make this hobby what it is today. Did you see the look on the faces of the kids and adults alike? Theyve never seen anything like that before! Yous got a great thing going and from what i can tell, this event put a whole new spin on the term "jet rally". Yous really set a standard above the bar (no not that bar[:D]) and makes for bigger and better things next year. The sky's the limit. As for Ed- If that happened to me, id want someone to reciprocate for me so hey- dont mention it. You cant find a better group of guys here everybody, you go other places and you see the egomaniacs, the showoffs, the "im better than you" people. Not here. Were all equal here and those of you that have never been here, GET HERE! Check us out. You wont be disappointed. [:)]

Cory



Erik R -> RE: Jet rally / Hamburg, PA (10/23/2007 1:59:18 PM)

Mike,
Great to see you.Thanks for coming out,and joining.Your Blue Angels Cat is delicious.I think you should hang on to it,and put another 50 gals of kero thru it(or at least until I'm ready to pull the trigger [:D]).Looking forward to seeing you more.

Stay well,
Erik



Erik R -> RE: Jet rally / Hamburg, PA (10/23/2007 5:01:08 PM)

Frank,
It was a pleasure to meet you,and good times in the debrief.Come see us again soon.Take care,

Erik



bigbri -> RE: Jet rally / Hamburg, PA (10/23/2007 5:49:57 PM)

Thanks for the kind words Eric. Went flying yesterday at our home field and was sooooo depressed.....I just might have to move. Man what a beautiful part of the country you guys live in...
Oh well...the roo is being taken apart for a badly needed rehab. I beat it up bad learning how to fly jets this year.
See you guys in the spring
Brian



IFlySlowPlanes -> RE: Jet rally / Hamburg, PA (10/23/2007 6:32:16 PM)

I have to share this with you guys....

Someone who had attended the rally as a spectator came into the Hobbytown where I work, and wanted to know where we kept the Jet models. He had seen you guys flying them and really wanted one now. I asked him if he flies R/C now. Of course, the answer was "No...I always thought it was too expensive!" I told him we don't stock turbine-powered planes...or turbines...and for that matter, we only ever have one JR 8611A in stock at any given time, much less a decent radio or any of the other peripherals you'd want on a plane of that caliber. But if he wanted to special order something, it might be arranged (I'm saying this knowing there's not a chance in hell, but laughing on the inside at what's about to transpire).

His eyes light up...."Oooo! So you CAN get me one?"

I asked him, "Sir, what sort of budget did you have in mind?"

He says (with a straight face), "I dunno...how much should i be looking at?"

"Well," I said, "let's start with the engine. You'll need one of those. Depending on the thrust you need for the model you get, you can expect to spend somewhere around $1800-$2500 for that......"

"Whoa! Wait a second! Did you just say 'two thousand five hundred dollars.....for one engine?!?!"

"Sure did! Now servos...you'll need some of those too....Let's see...we sell JR 8611A's for around $120. You'll need at least 7 or 8 of those....and a radio....and a voltage regulator....oh, and let's not forget the plane...."

"I don't think my wife would approve....I was thinking they cost around $200."

"In your dreams sir (and mine too)."

I tried to interest him in a nice little nitro trainer, but if it wasn't a jet, he wasn't going for it.

Anyway, I think he left the store with a whole new appreciation of the level of dedication you jet guys have to the hobby.

PS - No customers were harmed in the conversation above. Had a customer been harmed, you'd be informed where to tune in your area for emergency broadcast information. This has been a public service of the LHS network. We now return you to your regularly scheduled posts.



-pkh- -> RE: Jet rally / Hamburg, PA (10/23/2007 6:52:00 PM)

I worked the "gate" towards the end on Saturday, when several spectators were starting to file out. I asked many of them what they thought of it, and they were all very impressed and had a great time! Some said they were coming back for Sunday too! Many asked "How often do you guys do this?", and "When is the next airshow?".

Thanks to all the event organizers for a well planned and organized event, and thanks to all of you turbine pilots that put on one hell of an air show, especially on that extremely windy Saturday!



Adil Nasim -> RE: Jet rally / Hamburg, PA (10/23/2007 7:50:26 PM)

Thanks to Eric, Rick and everyone else involved for doing all the hard work to put together a wonderful event. I had a great time and look forward to flying with you guys more often. It was definitely one of the best events up here in the NE and the hospitality was definitely second to none.

Thanks again for taking sure good care of all the pilots.

Alan was defintely worn out with all the "out-pouring of love" devoted to him this weekend as well.[:D]

Best Regards,

Adil



RickBoyer -> RE: Jet rally / Hamburg, PA (10/24/2007 3:59:17 PM)

Thanks for coming to the event Adil,

And congrats on your Best Scale Jet award for your outstanding F-4 Phantom. Hope the grass worked out well for the ol' girl.

FYI..... Rumor has it that Erik is working on a black project down in the Hangar. I heard that he has captured some local foul, and that he has already strapped a P-120 to one of the birds' ass. Hopefully he won't be installing a radio in the bird......[&o] and that he'll keep it a Free Flight model. If he does do the install, watch out (and pray for the bird).

Maybe he'll back out of the project now that Alan has fixed the Super. Alan did a great job too!! Flies as good as it did before.

Hey Jorge,

Thanks for coming to our Jet Event! And your membership is a real bonus for our club as well. We now have over 20 turbine pilots at Farveiw and over 50 members in our club.

Course, I think several joined to stay abreast on Erik's P-120 Pigeon Project..... [&:] He's also been seen this week dressing the hangar up for Halloween....


Rick



RickBoyer -> RE: Jet rally / Hamburg, PA (10/26/2007 2:06:51 AM)

Hey Ron,

Just noticed your post. Ya missed a great event. But the good news for next year is that we are planning another event in early October. So get that BVM Sabre finished so that you can fly her off grass with us. I'd love to see one go at Farview next year.

If you want to come fly jets with us on 2.4 GHz during the week, shoot me an email at richard.a.boyer@lmco.com

See you next year!

Rick



RickBoyer -> RE: Jet rally / Hamburg, PA (10/26/2007 2:11:22 AM)

Thanks Pete, Dave and Dave Jr for your participation at Farview!!

You guys are a class act and it meant allot personally to me to see you come up and fly once again at Grim's Airfield. People are still talking about it and will for a long time! Davey Jr. put on the best model turbine flight demonstration with the Ultra Bandit that I have ever seen!! I know that BV is be proud to have you guys represent his business and we are too.

We are looking forward to flying with you at at Farview.

Congratulations to all three of you for your Best in Show award too. We'll do this again!

RB



uncljoe -> RE: Jet rally / Hamburg, PA (10/26/2007 4:50:16 AM)

Ultra Bandit Preformed OUTSTANDING from the grass field, but Check out David & Pete giving directions to Dave Jr. which way should he go ?[:D]

Thanks,

FILE IFR -> RE: Jet rally / Hamburg, PA (12/1/2008 10:54:46 PM)
