I have been spending too much time in the shop. I have to go practice SPA routine, if it stops raining. Up in Port St. Lucie, there are Gator's in the streets. Tropical Storm Fay is wondering around Florida, don't know when to quit. Need pontoon's soon.

I am getting "Airplane Shop Burnout".

I understaand what you are saying. I haven't flown my Arrow in over 2 months. Now I have to practice the AMA pattern for the upcoming Jacksonville pattern contest and the Apopka contest.
I plan to fly BPA and AMA pattern in Apopka.
Also plan to fly BPA in Bob Cox's contest Miami November 1, 2, 2008.
Mazn, tyime comes at you fast.

Crash - What is Bob Cox up to ? I did a post, find Bob Cox. I should have this Phoenix VI done for both contest's. A new OS61SF is in the mail to me, and I will search for a couple more. I am going to get rid of the OS61FX's. One of them is brand new, in the Intruder #2. I want to get one more Phoenix VI done, then the two Vertigo's. That should do it for 2009.

If I can get someone to transfer the needle valves and banjo's to the front on these OS61FX's, then they will make good spares. Mac's Muffler is fixing me up with the proper muffler, etc. for the Rossi 60. It is in the Phoenix.

make it a float fly event

Hi Patternpilot:
That is not that far fetched. At the Apopka flying site, there is a sink hole full of water, that may be another option to add to the combined SPA/BPA/AMA Pattern contest in December.

rash

that would be the FPPA (float plane pattern association)? [sm=teeth_smile.gif] do you think they will allow tuned pipes?

How about snorkles??

This is great-but you guys are bad.crash

i thought bad humor was required here.

david

In this case it is always welcome.

Well, we are just about underwater here in Kissimmee!! Just for the record, the first 6 feet of my driveway is underwater!

Hey Freebird...did you ever get those Atlas plans?? I have the canopies!! Drop me a PM.

You can R.O.W. LOL

Crashlander

Thank goodness I have enough foam to make a few sets of floats! My Atlas will look well funny with those things mounted under the wings! I hope to have it ready for the Miami FVPA contest.

We have had about 5" of rain, not as much as you guys have had. Here in Orlando, things have been pretty normal.
In favt I have been feverishly working on my Black Magic; trying to get it ready for the Tangerine Pattern contest in December.

My Arrow is flying great and plan to fly that in Bob's contest in Miami and at the FVPA contrest in December alongside turn around pattern. Should prove very interesting.

Later.

Orlando

We got about 4-5 inches in past 4 days, its really starting to stink, I hate all this rain during day, I snuck to the feild for 4 flights on sunday afternoon in between storms. but so windy it was not fun, the koas flew well however.
