I didnt have anything ready except a big stick with a saito .65 on it, so I mainly went to meet Raindave cause he built me a Sig Wonder and its a beauty, maybe he can post a pic of it on here,,lots of faces I knew but not names, we got one of the local gurus to maiden the wonder and he made it look like a trainer, a tribute to Dave's building skills too, but 30 seconds into the flight he got a serious hit, he recovered and went around again and got another hit so he brought it in to the taller grass deadstick (no wheels),, an older gentleman had a huge balsa usa 1/4 scale bipe ,,so cool to watch...no theme at all( no racing, no tricks, no kind of events at all), basically just a bunch of guys, one guy with a stick, had the worst take off ever, he went off the runway aiming at a half a dozen big heli's, barely got off the ground in time,,,there was serious ohhing and ahhing....lots of leckys, trainers, extras, and a 40 year old patteren plane that was so fuel soaked there were places where the covering wouldnt stick, but it flew like a champ, another pattern plane or 2, Dave was gonna bring out the sureshark, only 1/2a there and fly it about the time I was heading home, it was a good time....I'm gonna fly that stick this week, one is a hangar 9 with an OS.46 and the other is a great planes with a saito .65........Rog
