I was in Tucson over the last few weeks and had the opportunity to watch Chip Hyde and Jason Shulman fly at a local field.
I am convinced these guys ( or at least their thumbs ) are from a different planet.

I watched Chip fly his helicopter and do some things that are too hard to explain. It was an awesome display. I got to see him do his first inverted hover where he was touching the blades on the ground. UNREAL!!

Jason put on a low torque roll display that would blow your mind. He had never flown this plane prior.
Within maybe 10 seconds after taking off the tail was with-in inches of the ground. At one point, he walked onto the runway and torque rolled around himself.

Jason then picked up someones elses plane and proceeded to TR within a few feet of the runway. The plane was a stock Ultra-Stick .40 It didnt have 3D throws or a huge engine. Very impressive!


The plane that these guys were flying is the Doghouse Extreme.
(I have one and its a great plane)
Check it out at.
Doghouse Extreme

Heres a pic of Jason with the Doghouse Extreme.

Yeah, I hear that Jason Shulman guy is almost as good as the top guys. lol You reading this Jason? I'm just playing around, Jason... you know you're my hero. I mean:

Seriously... as you know, wgeffon... you were with two of the top four guys in the world. Jason, Christophe, Chip, and Quique are truly in another league, as you say. On any given day any of the four could be the best there is. I'm partial to Jason because of our constant email bantering... and Quique for his great personality.

You just had a real treat being at the same field with those guys. :-)

What field did you see them at here in Tucson. I am one of the fortunite ones I have seen them fly many times and it is nothing short of a great thrill to watch those guys fly. Everytime I see them I am just in ahh as they make them planes and heli's do things I can only dream about.

I think its called Catalina RC Field. Just off Ina and hwy 10.

I was a guest of Dick Smith. ( Doghouse designer )

I have seen some very good pilots. Not national caliber, but very, very good. Coolest thing I saw was after about a 20 foot take off run, he pulled into a barrel roll and touched the wheels back on the ground at the bottom of the loop (which was about 5 feet in diameter).

Sounds like you had a good time......

You get moved yet? How about that Doghouse Profile? Build it yet? My Doghouse Extreme is still in the bones......I'm slow......

No we havnt moved yet. The house is getting boxed up Wednesday and Thursday. We are moving this weekend.
Hectic!

Oh, and No. I havnt built anything since we found out we were moving. Once we move and get the shop set-up I have a few that need attention.

DH Profile
.60 sized Su-Do-Khoi
Top Cap ( you cant have too many of them )
AW 29% Edge ( Not bought yet but soon )

That don't look like a DA

Randy

These look like good planes but sounds like excellent pilots!! What do you power these with? How can one buy a kit?

Dohouse Extreme

Yes, those guys are two of the best in the world but this plane taught little ole me to TR.

Saito .91 in it.

I have a kit that is started (fuse and one wing panel) that I'd sell you for $100 plus shipping.....

Get you in the air quick.....
