tIANci,

I spent the day with Chippedprop at Joe Nall flyin, wish you were there hanging out with us...lots of cool planes and jets...even a turbine powered float plane.
A guy took the plans for Northstar (float plane) and blew it up twice as big and did some mods and then slapped in the turbine....it was just awesome.

Chippedprop did take some videos which we will see at some point in future when he gets to it...no rush.

Had a great day over all about 80 degrees I think. I had to drive 1 1/2 hours to get there, but he had a 1/2 hour drive or so.

I started my drive in the rain but I had faith that all will be well, and sure enough sun shine broke through the clouds 1/2 way during the drive.

Matt Chapman piloting his full scale plane was doing coordinated stunts along a small RC copy of his bird...unbelievable...WOW.


***If I knew early in the day, I would have told chip to skip the show and I would have helped him look...I hope he takes a few friends and go look again.
