I'm still hoping to go.. Just not sure due to the weather gods...

supposed to be 60 ish with sun and about a five to seven miles an hour south south east wind, I will be there with my new F 16 and the elan that I just finished up today.
probably quite a few club members there we've been pinned up for almost 3 weeks

weather is gonna be good, Ron

I was hoping to slip up for the day... But spent yesterday in the E.R. with Acute pancreatitis..... I'm doing better today, got to take it easy and rest and not eat... Got to get rebuilt for next weekend !!!

A great flying day. No major accidents apart from Buck losing a wheel! and a great flameout save with a big F-16.

2 flights on my L-39 and 4 on the Hawk.



Thanks for the loan of the jacket Buck.

Can't wait until the next one.

Paul

Anytime amigo! I bet a lil bit of Vegemite would've helped keep it together, or whatever you goofy kiwis spread on your scrumpets!! LoL It was a great day of flying. I think we had 11 jets and 5 big gassers, an fpv quad that was expertly flown by a nice young man and a gaggle of electrics. I took a few pix and will get them up shortly. Thanks bob and Joe for the great chow and finding the brake hub! Ronnie nice work with the maidens!! Great flying and camaraderie as usual. Til next event. Cheers.

I found a curtain climbing couch ape in between drag racing sessions. Traxxas car was smokin fast, nice work josh! Ricky bobby and his " I wanna go fast " bandit while giggling like a 5 year old fartin in church.....are you putting armor All on the tires? LOL

Who are you calling a goofy kiwi? Wrong hemisphere my Dear Sir.

May I point you to a map of Her Britannic Majesty and point to the United Kingdom. And it's Marmite in the northern hemisphere, Vegemite is for those Down Under Aussies!

No Tea and Crumpets for you next time.

Paul

LOL God save the Queen amigo. Great flying today

Even the puppy was exhausted from all the flying today. Btw that's a PNP F16 in a suburban. Thanks to everyone who helped Mr Wizard get the old iron lung fired up.

Well it was a fantastic day, great weather, and great company. Buck was hangin it all out with his kingcat, Addisons Bandit is probably the fastest rc jet I have ever seen, and the Hawk was just beautiful. I enjoyed the elan and got the retract leak fixed, one of tge lines had blown off of a coupling. I love my new f16 the maiden was great, the k-210 has more than enuff to push it. The flameout on my second flight, not great. We Thanked God I was able to get it back safely in one piece. Thanks for all the help trying to find the culprit of the flameout, I wish we could have found something wrong, I could fix it, but no idea what caused it, I will be calling KT tomorrow. Hopefully get it figured out for houston event, if not Ill bring the ultra flash, and Elan. Im down for the next get together, just set the date.

Everything looking good for the outing.. All systems go in our camp. Hope to see all you there.

I guess there is no Waco meet up this weekend (3/13-3/15) ?

Yes, it's on 3/12 - 3/15. I'm headed down there this afternoon. Wind looks like out of the northwest 10-5kts. Can't make it tomorrow.

Paul

Yes it's on 3/12 - 3/15. Wind looks like 10-15kts from the northwest. I'm headed down there this afternoon. Can't make Saturday.

Had a great day at Waco on Friday. 7 flights on my Hawk, burning almost 5 gal of kerosene. A little windy early afternoon but it turned into a beautiful late afternoon and evening, complemented by burgers and sausage courtesy of Dawn.


Paul

Well, I lied, I didn't think I would make it out today but I told work I would not be in at 7p I would be in at 11p So I got off work and home at about 8am, layed down till about 1030, hooked up to the trailer,and off to the field... It was very windy but I flew anyway, I got 3 flights on the Elan and 1 on the ultra flash. Stephen Ellzey was about 100 feet high with his 1/6 f16 in the wind almost in a hover, (high alpha hardly moving at all) Great looking Jet, and Jimmy was burning up the sky with his Shockwave. It was fun playing high in the high wind. As always had a good time with the Austin gang,, Met another great guy from Louisiana, Lynn,, Good meeting you and hope to see you more often....
Got home enough time to get a few hours of sleep before work,, Im tired, Midnights Suck,,, but it was worth it..
See ya guys soon,, Hopefully easter weekend...

I had a great time !!! A little windy Saturday, but Friday was great. Got my new ViperJet maidened and it's awesome !! A big thank you to Steven Ellzey for the help and Flight # 1. His F-16 is unbelievable too !! Lot's of flying and fun. Hope to see you guy's at Bomber Field in two weeks and for sure in Mississippi next month. Hope Vernon and the boy's are ready cause here we come !!! If you have ever thought about going to Mississippi and on the fence, I'm telling you, GO !! Very laid back, a great venue, super smooth runway, and unbelievable food, and a great bunch of people and a Airport Manager host that cannot be beat !!! She's all in !!! See ya'll then and there.

Cheers,

Danno
