RE: Sepulveda Basin
Hi Joe,
Thanks for checking. The boiled dogs are still better than the catering truck. Will be there to watch the activities.
I down loaded an application to join the Giant Scale group. Instead of mailing should I bring it to the event.
Thanks again,
Gary

No, you can just come and pay the landing fee and show your AMA card and your gold. It should be a great time. I'll be there at noon. Your welcome LMP, just come to the fly in and introduce your self to Joe the membership secretary. They are the best bunch of guys I have come across. I gotta get some things done because I'm going to AZ in the AM to pick up a GS plane to replace Patty!~(

Why do you have to call me a shrimp!? Vertically challenged I prefer!
How could I possibly get ready for this,
Nov. 2 Aerobatics Pre-Basic & Basic (Whittier) ?
Sounds cool!

RE: Sepulveda Basin
Well, time for a little Basin update!
DJ is back with a new Extra and Magnum 1.80 that's "more powerful than a MOKI" his words not mine. It didn't want to run and I thought it was like one of the toys in "Toy Story" that saw all it's friends come home in pieces and didn't want the same fate.
Crazy Eric is presumed vacationing in Florida and has not been seen at the field lately. How bout it Florida people has a guy been terrorizing the flight line with 130mph+ inverted passes over the pits with a Dago Red at your local field?
Jason buzzed the field with his Pitts. It's a 100% scale Pitts which is four times the size of a 1/4 scale Pitts if you can imagine that!
Joe Keli drove to Arizona and fell in love. Not with the girl but the plane she sold him. Joe won't be testing positive for Coke since the plane is done in the Pepsi logo.
The warbird guys have been noticably absent but I havn't heard anyone complain, now if we could get the jet guys to join them we'd have it made!
That's all for now...anyone have anything to add?

Hi Bucketbottom,
I presume Ron's still modifying his modified Pizazz's with the runway still?
Was I there with my Venus or Extra? Things are a bit hazy in this heat. I'll soon have the Edge 540 finished with - - my brand new YS 110 (phew!)
And how about your li'l Patti?

RE: Sepulveda Basin
If any of you So. Cal. fliers want an uncrowded place to fly, come on up to Lone Pine for a week-end. We have a nice big dry lake, and the old airstrip at Manzanar. It is hot during the middle of the day, and the wind blows a bit, but it's never crowded. ( Just two of us local yokels fly.)

Have you flown at the Basin? There are a great bunch of people there.

RE: Sepulveda Basin
David, you head up 14 to 395 (US) like you were going to Reno. Lone Pine is south of Bishop. The best time for a week-end trip is after Labor Day. It has started to cool off then, and the fall is the least windiest time of year. The fishing here is good also. There is even a lake south of town for camping and float-planes. The land is mostly BLM or DW&P and you can park a trailer or camper out at the dry lake, or up at Manzanar for free.
I haven't been down to the basin yet, but it sounds like a hoot.

Thanks Tim. I might try that.
You are very welcome to come to the Basin. As you've no doubt gathered by now, there's a lot going on!

You have exceeded the "1 STILL per sentence" quota.

Apparently you are neglecting your HOB AT-6 and will not be ready for Saturdays racing.
And how about your li'l Patti?

RE: Sepulveda Basin
RD, thanks for the update! Haha! The Aerotech Chipmunk will be ready for a maiden flight this next week I hope. Waiting on a B&B delivery. On that note, man does Airwild rock or what? I ordered one day last week and bam! The new morning delivery! Hot damn! And is cost about 5$ for shipping a $60 order! I got 2 wattage sukoi done today and I'll get a crazy max built tomorrow. DJ? Oh man! I'd love to come up there and fly Tim! Maybe we can get a few people together?

RE: Sepulveda Basin
Just a reminder for you fellow Basinites. There is a Heli Funfly ALL weekend so I won't be seeing any of you untill Monday.
I think it is great that the Heli guys have their events and get some time in on the whole place but having an event on a Holiday weekend seems like poor timing.
I don't remember how busy the field has been on past holiday weekends but it seems a lot of people would take advantage of their time off to go flying. I hope that applies to the Helis and they have a better turn out than their last event.
See you at Whittier.
