RE: Flugtag 09
I'm back Randy. Hi Todd. Currently working on the Pre-WII Luftwaffe stuff. 1/3 GTM Fokker D.VI on the table. Well.. I guess off the table and on to details. Having fun building for a change and really enjoying this one. Hope you guys are doing well in this horrible economy.

RE: Flugtag 09
Interesting. If you read the "Pilot Rules" it say's that essentially there are no rules. (Except one house rule that the participants must wear a provided uniform...and wear black shoes!)
-Any model of any size can be flown
-No requirement for models to have previously been flown (such as Scale Masters or IMAA)
- There are no insurance requirements posted (such as AMA for example)
The event also features a beer garden that opens at 11:00 AM.
It seems to me that one could show up with a large, untested model with no insurance, have a few beers and go flying. AND there will be good media coverage to document the whole affair!
Wow, if this were a real event, I'd be staying far far away!

I believe that you live the closest, of anybody here, to the ''event.'' I was hoping that you had heard something.

Besides this "event" is very odd for me - wear black shoes !!?? Just missing the right arm straight and in a 45 degree angle as salute before takeoff.
Odd.....very odd. And yes swastikas belong on german ww2 airplanes - but not on a banner for a "fly-in"
As I said odd very odd.

If I remember correctly, wasn't Warlord going to build a 1/5th scale model of the Hindenburg? He was in talks with a company that built blimps from the tread on RCSB. IT would both be operated manned, or by radio control. interesting idea - but thats all that it turned out to be I guess.
