Day-after-Turkey-Day Flying in Benbrook

Bruce's Viper Jet - one smooth flyer - and bigger than a damn taxicab

A pretty good day, I had the most luck - flameout way downwind (damn gas gauge)  and landed clean in the grass - not a scratch but could've been UGLY a few feet either way. Went on to get 6 or 7 flights before day's end. My luck ran out a few minutes ago however when I was getting the Bobcat out of the car and stripped a rudder servo   Those are damn expensive too! Oh well, off to Dreamworks.....

Conditions were marginal with kinda crummy overcast visibility and less than cooperative wind but a good time was had inspite. Bruce's viper jet really steals the show - that thing is huge! Good flying boys!

I'm a bit bleary eyed right now - I just finished another 3 hours of rub-on rivets on the Barf... I still think I can finish it this year!

Ronnie, don't insult the pilot that was provided with my $199 Skymaster cockpit.

I think they were looking at the cockpit of a Japanese F-2 when they decided on the pilot's scale.

Status: offline 		David, Your "recon pod" has motivated me to either get one like yours or pull my fly cam out of the junk drawer - aerial video is good fun - especially with your commentary!!! 



Go Frogs! - I got caught up in the moment and painted the BCS BobFrog

take care !

Dan
