dasintex,

If anyone orders anything instock (not on backorder) then I will bring it to them at BOMBERFIELD so they can save on shipping! Otherwise,,, I may bring just a few models.... I will be out there with the R/C TANK CLUB/BATTLEFIELD.... Maybe by next year I will have the R/C TANK battlefield 100% finished so I can Fly and TANK !!!

So if anyone wants free shipping , just drop me an email with your requests for any KMP, VQ , ASM warbird or engine , retracts instock and I will deliver them to you at BOMBER FIELD... you can save a lot of money!

-CHEERS!

JUST RETURNED from a workday at BOMBERFIELD...

The field is looking fantastic,,, all the new pilot stations, new runway, GREEN GRASS, and
PEOPLE are ALREADY starting to take their spots by setting up their frames for their canopies.

We know that many RV's and trailers will be stationed this weekend as people arrive early...
Anticipating over 150 pilots....

Make sure you don't forget your video cameras and cameras ,,,, should be lots of new jets, and Warbirds at this event....

BB is going to be flying his BEAR this SUNDAY and there are more "MAIDENS" taking place this SUNDAY...

Randy B. has already flown his RC-121 Warning Star Super Constellation ,,, all electric with special wound motors,,,, took off like a home sick angel with only 60% throttle,,, weighs in at 65 lbs,,, 10lbs heavier than BB's glow version.....but way more power and faster too.... He will be flying it again SUNDAY....

Here are a few friends flying a STICK.... kinda small eh???

WELL.... on the Battlefield end... ALL YOU PILOTS are very welcome to visit our 6500 sqft battlefield and play a round or two of
WWII TANK "LASER TAG" with our FULL FUNCTION r/c tanks... we will be offering this up as an activity... come by the TEXAS ARMOR TENT for details.... and say hi !!!

SEE YOU GENTLEMEN and LADIES in a few days....

-CHEERS!

WELL,,,

LADIES and GENTLEMEN.... BB's Tu-95 Bear BOMBER has FLOWN again!!! Today with the help of many Bomberfield members, just to mention a few names...Bobby, Doc Jones, Ted C., Randy B, and a few others ... That awesome Silver Red Star Bomber
TAIL #70 was meticulously prepared , tuned, charged, aired up and re-checked,,, then at approx 5:30pm today, under the
skills of Doc Jones and B.B. Weber on the Co-Pilot sticks, ,, she was taxied out, down to the end of the runway, turned into the wind, brakes set, engines revved, cleared, and then brakes released.... as she gained speed down the runway all eyes were on this big silver bird as it was guided down the center of the runway all 23ft of her wingspan started to gain lift and then as carefully as he could,,, Doc eased back on the stick and the Bear was airborne.... all 4 laser engines turning in almost perfect harmony...
The magestic Tu-95 created by BB was once again in the sky where it belonged...
after several great photo passes and fly by's ... B.B. commanded the gear down , ,, DOC flew by for a gear check... all gear locked down... and he came around for base and final, flaps down,,, looking good,,, with a slight crosswind, Doc compensated with a nice crab angle ,,, 20 ft, 15 ft, 10 ft, 5 ft, 2 ft,,, then a nice smooth touch down on the center of the runway....

So perfect.... Doc and BB celebrated... Doc fell to his knees thanking GOD that this flight went so well.... Everyone CHEERED!!!

It is moments like this that make our Hobby so Great... we pull together to make machines take to the skies, and we all get to share in the excitement and joy of success...

-THE BEAR WILL FLY AGAIN during the WEEKEND of the 21st ANNUAL B-17 Gathering... Many More People have arrived... such infamous pilots as "MAD DOG", the CA JUN MAN... and more....

SEE YOU ALL AT BOMBERFIELD... come share in the excitement ! (PHOTOS to Follow later tonight... stay tuned)

The Texarkana Fat Boys are almost loaded up and will be headin' down early in the morning. The "restored Midwest Texan" will be coming along with a Zero and a Corsair. Also, a very large 60% cub that ya'll might have seen in last months AMA magazine.

The Texan might be for sale if anyone is interested. BTW it has been flown and the Quadra 35 seemed to have plenty of power for it.

Ya'll save a spot for us.
