Not much different than humans, sometimes.
BTW, have a look on your keyboard, for a key marked "Caps Lock". It's actually functional, not just ornamental.

RE: Old School DF Jet Rally next year
What an interesting thread this is turning out to be.
I never have owned a DF, or a turbine. I think the idea of a "vintage" DF rally is pretty cool, however. I've been in radio control for many years, but still fly my control-line planes once in a while. I still have a couple Cox .049s that I'll tinker with from time to time.
How can you condemn the idea of a function like this? This is a hobby afterall, not a political movement. It's meant to be enjoyed in all its specialties. I understand the turbines are the showcase of many of the most advanced modelers, however, they started in the same place we all did.

RE: Old School DF Jet Rally next year
I purchased a BVM Maverick about a year ago, with a Vio Fan, original NIB retracts and a BVM .91R.
When I opened the box I FREAKED OUT after seeing all the parts. Then I chickened out and sold it (and even made a little profit).
I think if I could find a BVM Viper RTF for the right price in good condition I'd go for it. I'd still be faster than most turbines! [8D]
When I had my Yellow and BVM F-16's, I could get to the field and up in the air in 10 minutes or less. The Viofan/BVM .91R and the Ramtec/OS .91/JMP Pipe where a very reliable combination. I never had a deadstick. Sorry for all the guys who did the R&D before I started!!
I guess you guys called it quits and went to turbines as it was getting better.

I agree it would be afun to get the boyz together for a good time. I think the big issue here is that most of us do not have a turn key DF bird sitting in the hanger RTF. I for one would rather not shell out $1500 or so to purchase a DF bird to be used for only two days. Sure there are beaters out there for cheap but who wants one? Mabye Joe C and Ron L can hook up and have Henry build em two 8 OS .91 powered B-52s for the noon time demo!!! OOOOOOOooooooooohhhhhhhh..... I remember what a pain it was to get one Rossi .81 to run worth a toss let alone 8 of them....

One of these days I'm going to try to get an old DF setup. I've got experience with RIRE, high RPM boat motors so I should be able to hack a fan motor. I've also got a field that has a 300 ft. paved runway....should I should take advantage of it.
The turbines are really incredible....I've only seen them fly a few times. I don't know if I'd ever get into it....just like I don't know if I'd ever get into choppers. I've got too many hobbies the way it is....but they sure are fun.
Sounds like it'd be a nice function in any event.....to fly or just grill out.

RE: Old School DF Jet Rally next year
Guys spending hours trying to tune their engines. Some actually getting their engines to idle (both before & after the flight). A few others wearing out their wands trying to get them started. Everybody else wrenching all day.Couple other guys getting a few flights in all day. Some actually landing with the engine running. That way loud whining sound in the air. The rest of us wearing earmuffs trying to talk to each other. People yelling "No smoke, richen it up." That sound of silence as the engine comes to a sudden, fatal stop in the air. The oily mess to clean up inside the airplane. Broken rods, broken pipes, broken headers, broken throttle linkages, blown o-rings, blown plugs, etc. Landing gear not being the major problem with the jet. 20 hours of maintenance per flight hour. Finding castor oil to add to the fuel.
No thanks. Good riddance. Did you guys forget all that?????

I Just Don't Understand you grown men!!!!
This thread to me was a clear as it could be , if you like this kind of stuff then it's for you to comment on that you would like to participate , sounds easy to me . if you don't care about this then MOVE ON to another thread that you would like to say something positive towards and be happy.
Why must you (if it applies to) rain on someone elses idea. So you don't like them , who cares , move ongood god man.
1 If you don't have a ducted fan plane .......then don't buy one , or build one , no one is asking you to do any thing keep your money and turbine.
2 if you don't won't to spend time or money going to this kind of event......then don't come to the ducted fan rally, simple do you need help understanding this?
3 if you don't like them and you are happy with your turbine plane......then don't commment on this thread, it is not for you!!!!!!! be happy with your turbine I am still happy with my turbine plane.
4 If you feel that you cannot restrain yourself and must act like a butt..... then try to type something supportive of the hobby (build up ,not tear down ,the real world is doing plenty of that everyday , we are trying to get away from it for a few hours and just have fun and talk smack)
