thanks again gang! i'll be sure to check out the auction minnreefer, it does sound like a lot of fun. vmsguy, i fly out of a park in haistings. grass strip kinda deal. i don't know if i'd be lucky enough (to get away with
) buying four planes at the auction, but it does peak my interest. where do you fly in new richmond? always looking for a new place to fly. so far as flying goes, maybe i'll listen to chashint and take the decathlon out to the park this afternoon...
Hey... just tell the wife... "They were on sale!" or "They were so cheap, I couldn't afford NOT to buy them." Isn't that what she says when she comes home with several pairs of shoes.. or whatever she buys...
Just kidding..... The CFO obviously needs to approve.
But start greasing the skids today.. Maybe bring home flowers today...
Me.. I'm not married.. so I can buy what I want.
The New Richmond field is privately owned. Grass field. Plus an RC car track, AND a nice pond. One night (Thursday's I think) is float plane night. Only float planes off the pond are allowed.
Lot's of fun. Nice field. Doc is the best pilot there. He flies a big stick, and/or a nice (1/4 scale, I think) Pitts. When he flies.. I just sit down and watch.
We have a small contigent of electric flyers. My LT40 is the largest of the electric birds. My Senior Telemaster will be larger. But there are several electric birds; a small piper cub, an easystar, a couple other powered gliders....
One day, there was actually a combat between Doc's combat plane, and one of the e-powered gliders.. I video taped it..
