No worries Al, we'll catch you next time.
A pretty good day, Ihad the most luck - flameout way downwind (damn gas gauge) http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...ngry_smile.gifand 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 Iwas getting the Bobcat out of the car and stripped a rudder servo http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...ngry_smile.gifhttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...ngry_smile.gifThose 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 thingis huge! Good flying boys! http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...wink_smile.gifhttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...eeth_smile.gif |

How dare you guys fly at Benbrook w/o me! [8D] Nice video, David - I'll be showing that to others at work tomorrow! :) I'm glad it appears that most had fun...
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! [sm=stupid.gif] |

We shall be back soon!!!
Some pics I was emailed earlier. Gotta say I'd never seen so many nice cameras at the field. Great day for pics!! |
RE: Jet Flying @ Thunderbird Field - Ft. Worth, TX
Dave, the Dutch scheme looks pretty cool... What's with the pilot? Did he slide down in his seat, or is it a 4 ft tall pilot, full scale? ;) I wanna see that camera too...

I think they were looking at the cockpit of a Japanese F-2 when they decided on the pilot's scale. ;) http://www.airforceworld.com/fighter/gfx/f2_2.jpg |

My meager attempt to keep your thread alive. :) My Reaction, which seems to like flying at Benbrook. Although this pic was taken at the "other" field down South... And, eventually this one will make it to Benbrook - my Barf. Working on the gun ports right now, and soon the nozzle petals. Then when it gets a bit warmer and I have time to do it, I need to clear it, then stuff it. [8D] Then we can't forget the Topcat. Topcat likes flying at Benbrook, but would like it if the runway were a few feet longer. [8D]

Hey Ron S, I see a F-107A in the photo you posted. How many flights does it have? Got any pictures you can post of the inside? Cool thanks.

AirForce7, I have pulled the turbine and other goodies out of the 107, in hopes I can get time to install 2.4 stuff in it. I need a landing gear repair too. [8D] But here are a couple pics of the inside. The model has 20 flights on it.
