The 106 flamed out and came up a little short (we think he lost a cell in the ECUpack). The 16 went offroading and snapped the nose gear plate. Nothing major at all, just a huge pi$$er that it was both of ours' first and last flight of the day.... nothing like a 90 mile drive both ways for one flight . The day was perfect, smooth sky, great temp, basically no wind, we were the only two there.

Icould fix the 16 tonight but Idon't have the patience, I'll be bobcatting and smoking tomorrow.

Dude I made a pretty cool mod to the Tam6teen........I got rid of the hardwood nose gear plates and replaced them with BVM Bandit Flexplates. I'm sure you could make Bocbat flex plates work too.

And, here are Mister Smither's F-16 pics. The Tamjet F-16 really scoots with a Rabbit inside. Even with the landing gear down!

As luck would have it, he landed a bit long after a good flight, and popped loose the front ply plate that holds the NLG. Pretty minor.

The GSU suspects my ECU battery in the F-106 was low, even though I had topped it off on the way to Waco. I just checked, and the battery has been in use for 3.5 years... I guess I could be losing a cell. I'll check the pack this weekend. Anyway, the six isn't too bad, but since it is in need of replacing the decals, and the bottom is becoming a patchwork of fixes, it might be time to strip it down, fix the glasswork, and repaint. Maybe then I can add a few more oz of fueltank size. It has been getting rough looking over the years. So you might not see it for a while... [sm=cry_smile.gif]

Me: OK

Buck: Right when you start rolling.....

Me: <why did my plane do that? ***?

Buck, et al: ROG,LTFAO! "Quick, run and copy the file"

More of Dan's action (you think there is any humorous dialog goin' on there? pic 1)


Dawn's like "where is he? i can't shake him!"


Another favorite of the day "JIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY! LOOKOUT!"


Alright, that's all I got. Had a great time. Ken got some good flight in today as well, Iseemed to be doing something and didn't get any pics of that or the Habu in flight. Looks fun - gonna try to hold off blowin' the cash but it sure flys good - thanks for the stick time Bob-o. Charlien wants to know when your birthday is, she says you're always trying to make sure everyone is having a good time. Alright, I'm out. Happy New Year everyone, 'till next time....

These people are stubborn David......real stubborn!I definately want to get down there this spring or summer. Of course, you'll be in Shreveport probably anyways..... Iam looking pretty hard at doing the Kentucky Jets thing this summer. It's right in the middle of my break and looks like a good time.

Its about a 9 hour drive to Kentucky from here in VA too, but it is DEFINITELY worth it! A great place to fly, lots of flying (fly until dark if you want to), lots of great guys, and lots of great prizes (and everybody gets something...)
