Man - we were REALLY close.....I was in the Big Red Tent - 10X20. Corky was right behind me. I had the Edge done in Kirby Chambliss scheme and a beat up Cub.

We had the guys from Tulsa w/ the 6 engine bombers next to us and Andrew Jesky and family!

I kept looking for your Extra, but understand now why I did not see it. [/QUOTE]

I know exactly where you were now! Really close! If you saw a big green and white Decathlon in a tent, that was my tent. We were right next to the DSP guys, and an older gentleman that setup a small table and was selling the Honda generator, some small engines, frequency scanner, etc. I had a green/white/gold Bobcat turbine on the flight line for a while until I gave up some parts on it for the blue Euro Sport that you probably saw flying every day, all day long. My Extra was back at my motor home with a gaping hole in the side

Wish I knew that was you there, I would have stopped by to say hello.

I know I talked to you briefly about your Bobcat. I just didn't put it all together. Oh well - next year!


I think for big events, we all need to order RCUniverse name tags to wear around!!!

Better yet, we should get free RCU hats. Free advertising and identification

The Decathlon was built from an S2 Models kit. I couldn't remember while there, and I was asked a couple times about it. No doubt you were one of them. When I got home, I found the manual. I don't think the kit is still available. I believe Cactus Aviation or Aircraft International has a kit of the same size. It was available as a ready to cover, but they discontinued it in RTC form. I can track it down if you want more info on it.

Status: offline 		One thing I did last year was have an airbrush artist draw my airplane on the back of a shirt with my name on the front. I didn't go to the Nall show but it would have helped people reconize me if I did. Total cost was only about $25.

When I went to the IMAA rally in Ohio two years ago, they used my airplane to make the official event logo. My airplane was on everyones shirt , so I guess that wouldn't help identify me at all

Were the things that the vendors were selling more or less the same as regular prices?
How was the night flying!!??? I have never seen this.I have talked about it, but decide it wasn't in my best interests.

The night flying was great. A couple of guys had GWS Cubs with LEDs on them - worked great and I am setting one up now for the backyard. Several guys had the light ropes on profiles, trainers, sticks, or old timers. I put glow sticks on a 1/4 Scale cub and flew it - could hardly see it so I landed and became a spectator! A couple of people flew with no lights at ALL!!!! It was almost a full moon and a couple of night was very bright out there. There were some guys who used a very bright spotlight to see the plane. There was even a helicopter!! I went to bed around 10:30 - 11:00 and there were 5 planes still in the air some nights!
Glad you enjoyed the photos. Look for the special on Discovery Wings Channel in September.

Status: offline 		Last year, there was a few of us flying small electrics using flash lights. We had a sequence that needed to be flown. Take off, do a touch and go off the top of the JR tent, then through the gazebo, thru the golf cart, then land. I never had some much fun or laughed so hard. Surprisingly enough, those little electrics took quite a beating, but held up well enough to complete several attempts.

I've flown glow planes with spotlights, but my spotter kept turning the light off to keep things interesting I prefer the glow wire with wing tip/tail tip lights. Easy to see, and you can fly just like it was daylight. This year, I am going to use that reflective safety tape on my .40 trainer, and fly with a flashlight or spotlight. It should be very visible in the air.

While sitting around the campfire at Joe Nall, Mark Froehn(sp?) from Germany was talking about night turbine flying again. If you saw a blue Euro Sport that seemed to be flying non stop, that was Mark. Those that were there last year (or was it two years ago) might remember hearing the sound a turbine jet around midnight a couple evenings. That was also Mark. He asked where the local Radio Shack was. We gave him an extra beer instead...
