I hope this weekend isn't a sign of what it will be like in two weeks. Going to be in the 90's this weekend with storms.

Not a drop of rain in the forecast. I'm a little worried about the wife she has a skin form of Lupus and heat and sunshine are a no-no.

Kinda bummed, but its part of the hobby I guess
Ouch!

Finally back from Ohio & online again. That's a hard pic to see. Don't give up on her though - she really does look restorable.

Congratulations Mike!! And to your son too!!!!!

My daughter has what sounds like the same exact form of Lupus, has lived with it for more than 20 years now. As long as she's covered from the sun she should be just fine.

Thanks Skylark, maybe some day I'll rebuild it, but right now I have my sites set on a SBach ARF that I plan on transferring the electronics and engine into

I wonder if this is what finals week feels like.

I remember the fazers, but I dont recall anything about the 4 hogs. Your building 4 Hogs at the same time?

Sounds like it may be time to move to the Seattle area. We have a forecast that calls for mid 60s and 40% or less chance of rain through Friday, perfect flying weather

Well I would never make a snap judgment on a brother's flying ability basked on just his forum handle.

Well if he DIDN'T take landing gears off planes, I would have never been inspired to build a 4*60 with retracts!

I taught him how to fly many years ago but he learned and perfected the Krunch part all by himself. I'm surprised he hasn't tries to copyrite that maneuver.

Maybe he likes filling his hanger all at once and emptying it out just as fast?

yeah Bob taught me well on how to fly the right way it wasn’t until I tried to do stuff that an airplane wasn’t supposed to do that I became captain crunch.
And the 3 hogs well, a good friend and I have a debate on which Saito is the best for The Astro Hog i say the 82 and he says the 72. So i am building one for each and the third is for my 100 because that’s just me.

Maybe we can run a straw poll to see which one last the longest?

Well, they say say "Nothing flies like a Hog", which could be good, or bad.
