Yeah but, that day was a bad day. my sledge broke a wing completely off, that arf fun world 3-d flew like crap, and the wind was blowing 20mph. How in the hell could I have done anything impressive that day! And then the Nashville trip, I was one of the worst flyers down there! But.... thanks to getting whipped on in Nashville, getting G2, and flying like I didn't care anything about my plane I am now somewhat improved!

All I have wanted to do ever since I first saw a RC plane fly, was to torque roll. That manuver captured my imagination, from the very first time I saw it, and I still love to see it. It never gets old for me NEVER! I like all the other 3-d stuff but the TR is the top of the list for me! I have always been envious of people who could do it, and I got to tell you, it kind of aggravates me when people that can, snuff their nose at it. I am finally getting the TR down, and I am going to devote the entire coming flying season to TR's! So if you see me TRing, yeah my engine is getting too hot, I don't care, I am not bored with it, and if you don't like it too friggen bad!

Did I mention I like torque rolling and it is the coolest thing ever?



Two years ago at the Dayton Dogs show during the noon time demo, the anouncer asks the crowd if they would like to see some Torque rolls. I was yelling at the top of my lungs Tork It Tork It! My wife was very embarressed, and slowly moved away as the crowd around us looked at me like I was nuts! I am not sure what the point of all this was other than I just love those TR's!
