Tim,
I hear that you have a backup plane in the works!
When will it be ready?

Hey Miles, between Josh and myself, we'll have three GP Extras. there's the one I've been flying for two years now, and a backup that 's been framed up since last March. (both, as you know were framed up by Vern Doty, "Mr. Builder"!). I've almost got the second one covered. Then Josh bought the kit and wanted to build one, so guess he and I will frame up and put together the third one.

So to answer your question, I'll probably keep flying the "vet" till she drops, and we'll have one of the new ones flying within a month. We'll frame up the other one this spring and have a backup in the bones.

I've also got a new BME Extreme 110 coming for the "vet", so we'll see what more power and less weight do for it.

Tim

Will the new one be Diet Pepsi????

What is the first meet for next year?

I can't wait.....

LOL.......I like that one!
The Brazil Spring Wing the first weekend of May in Clinton, IN (just north of Terre Haute) will be the first one. Lotsa IMAC activity within a 2 or 3 hour drive from Indy. I was thinking of CDing an IMAC myself, but now, maybe not.

Tim

That is the one thing I miss about Indy. Down here in Atlanta, you either go to the Carolinas or Florida. In either case, you are looking at 6 hours one way. IN the NC region, I could go to all the contest except for the one in Minnesota with that kind of driving!

This will be my first year competing even though I've been on the sticks for over 10. I think I will start in sportsman or intermediate.I've got both memorized, stick flown, sim flown now I can hardly wait to finish my Edge! I'm tempted to go with sportsman because I think I'd have more fun trying to work my way up.

do they have events for..say a 40 size ultimate? just quirious. would like to compete a little. dont know of any comps in seattle area yet. still working on getting used to the bipe. 6 flights so far. 2 sunday 4 today. nice and sunny today.

Hackmaster,
Go to the IMAC site and check out the contst calendar for the NW region. There are several contests that are very close to Seattle. Your Ultimate would do just fine in Basic or Sportsman.

thanks, hey i tried to see you at the show but nobody at your booth new who i was talking about. oh well i'll meet you in the future sometime. will check out imac site. thanks.
