Default RE: Club Combat in West Tennessee

Well,

Now that the Lone Star Nationals are over and then we flew some "club combat" last weekend, it's time to upload some more pictures!

First a few from the Lone Star Nationals in Dallas, TX March 28, 2008.


Gary James bringing his plane back to the pit area.



For a couple of rounds we used forestry tape for streamers instead of the usual crepe due to a lot of moisture in the air.



Someone took a bite out of my left wingtip!!



Daryle Witherell sending his plane into battle.



Jimmy Gibson has a couple cuts hanging on the wings! [8D]



Jimmy laid a wing and two fuselages down for a second.... Thoughts of a twin Mustang??



This was my favorite round at Lone Star Nats -- six cuts!



And now some from yesterday out at the field:

Brian and myself ready for a round of informal "club combat"!!



This one's a little blury...







Rick was launching for us.







So close!











We had a hard mid-air and ended up out in the high grass. We were both glad to find no damage other than two broken props!



We could have changed props and gone at it again, but we decided to call it a day after the 2 rounds. What a blast!
