Here's Chris (LuvaraAir) enjoying his first jet show with brother Mike
I had lots of fun, as usual at any R/C event. Great people and of course what would an event be without Dave "you can take it for $2k" auction Presta?

Now, back to massaging our f-16's landing gear system. No more forced belly ins for us... Ok, TAM ? Seems like our jet needs an annual every 5 flights...

Wheres the grass??
Same place you'll find the wind and the rain...Florida!
Too funny right there. The Willow wouldn't be the same in a different color. Besides, the only color were seeing is a beautiful blue. Who's looking down anyway.

Thanks guys.. here's a few more of the "junk" photos.

Chris
Nice pics bro. I took some Junk photos too...........but Smokin' Joe erased them from his camera
Keep 'em comin. I'm stoked that you and Mike were able to come and meet the bro's.

Mike, I don't know why your complaining about your landing gear never working.......you are partners with Chris.........at least your wings stayed on!![X(][X(][X(][X(]

Hi Dave,

You are more than welcome. After Ca-Jets, Dawn is busier answering phone calls for herself than for me. Now I know why.

More photos...

1. Dave Searle's next project - building a new trailer for his big Hawk

2. Mike Thompson's T-45 Red Bull...

3. The lords of the ring ...

The rest of the Jet world has gotta see Billy with his "Tailcones". I know Paul got video of it, but a still shot is worth a thousand laughs.

Theres gotta be more pics out there of the event. What the deal?? Good times guys. Thanks Presta and Kenny for putting on a great one!

Dude, those tail cones were mine!

Anything that's been that close to Billy's hawg should be gold plated! [&:]

Tons-o-fun as always! Hangin wit da bros, Scotty, Dougie, Jeremy and Joe "Where's my headlight" McSizzle, Riding my quad holding Dave ever so tenderly [:'(].

My spotter telling me how much I don't fly like Darcy!

All the friends good times! I had my camera but was too busy having a good time. [sm=spinnyeyes.gif][sm=red_smile.gif]

Can't wait to do it again, soon!

Shuuure! I see the next RCU classified hot off the presses:

Selling for a friend. RTF. Completely gone through, everything 100 percent (soaked in salt water but who's that picky). Never crashed or landed hard (the water was soft, it has salt in it anyway). Set up for turbine but can be easily modified for EDF. PPG paint, Hi-Vis scheme, 100 percent scale. Always a crowd pleaser and won best of show at the last meet. PayPal only, will ship!
