Default Yosemite Sam mini-reflection

Thanks for painting my mini-reflection Bryan (bdavison). It'll be up and flying soon. We had a great time flying in the gym last night.

Your very welcome Bill.

I have more pics, and FINALLY video of the mini-reflection flying. I shot the video last night, and Bill was piloting. Both the pics and video should be up soon...Im gonna post them tonight as soon as I get home.

When you see the video....your gonna be running to go get that depron.

Ive got some really good video of the thing flying, but its too big to put online. Its a 37mb video.
I HATE putting video online...its such a pain in the ***. Its either too big to put up, or the quality sucks so bad you dont want to watch it.

Sorry Im just ******* off right now because everytime I try it , it doesnt work.
I just spent 35 min editing and recompiling and its STILL to big to put up. And then Adobe has the nerve to charge gobs of money for re-licencing of Premier before I can get the upgrades that would probably help me do it...Im about ready to scream...

Ill get it eventually. I have more problems with video than anything else. I went and spent $1000 bucks on a high-res DV cam, and Ive got thousands of bucks worth of video editing software from Adobe and SGI,MGI, that's capable of making cinema quality DVD's, but for some reason they cant figure out how to compress video down to online sizes without the res looking like fisher-price did it.[:@]


Gimme some time....Im going flying tonight...I need it.....Ill get the video up soon.

aw Dang....
Those crackheads at the gym told me they werent going to be finished until 9:30 so I left.
Now Im even more ticked than I was when I saw all those choir kids taking up our time slot.

Honestly I about to give up on flying there. Thursday was the straw that broke the camels back. Im getting tired of driving all the way over there and getting the run around, and having to deal with locked doors, the school changing their minds about which nights we can fly, choir, band, basketball and other stuff. Tony sent out a e-mail saying we had monday and thursday night to fly. Monday the custodian told me that we couldnt fly on mondays anymore. The principal says we can...I wish they would make up their minds. I didnt get to fly at all last week and Im suffering withdrawl symptoms. Its making me grumpy as hell.
No wonder there's only three people showing up now. Everyone else is tired of driving over there, and then getting told NO flying.

It sucks.

Well, tommorow, Im going out in my private field and tearing up the skys. At least no one can tell me NO out there. Ill be the one on ch 16 and 50.

Here's a pic of the wing for the Taz plane. The picture is lousy, the colors are much more vivid and bright than it shows. I still have to paint in Taz with color, but you can get the idea.

Bryan, thats the coolest paintjob i've seen . Devin, wouldn't a paint job like that be great on your competition airplanes.? Now he's opened up the door for some fantastic cartoon theme painjobs. I love it.

It would be awesome to have a pain job like that on one of my planes looks like I'm gonna have to practice allot or find someone to do it for me I plan on going to compete in the Memphis games .. I just got back from our local fly at the RIT field house where Kyle Stacy and I did demo flights. for one of them we flew together... Kyle flew his T-Rex and me with an Edge 540 shockflyer.. I hope to have a video up in the next few days... We did not decide to do a combined demo until last minute Kyle brought some extra music so we listened to it on my dads laptop a few times then we went to fly... It turned out well for never flying to the music before... also going down to the E-fest maybe I will try and get one painted by then.

Love to see that, an airplane and heli flying to music. Good luck Devin in your next competition. Man I would love to have a few planes built and painted for you to fly. Wish we lived closer together. Your flying is awesome. With excellent technique like you have you really could make any plane fly great. Again, good luck and share the stoke.

I would love to compete in Memphis, even if I didnt win anything. It would still be fun.

Bill if you have more of them cut out, let me know and Ill paint em up for ya. Perhaps we could do one for Devin, and ship it off to him.

Devin, who are your sponsors. Perhaps we could incorporate their logo's into the plane somehow.

Who would have thought cartoon charectors would look good on an airplane.

Hey Devin, I'll get some cut out and get with Bryan this week. Thats nice of him to offer . My part is a lot easier than his, He is incredible with paint schemes. I'll definately cut some out for Bryan also. We have a lot of fun flying these planes with the 2204's.
