Well i have seen it all now. Bill Adair yesterday at delta park, funny wind like in a washing machine.  brought up his McCoy 35 plane fired it up and took half a lap and quit . i thought he was probably done . told him to let it warm up a little.. up again and 2 laps a loop !!!  wow another and it started a loop and then it look like he lost it, but no! he was going into the last half of a figure 8  . the rest  of the flight was filled with some rusty stunts         insides outsides lazy eights   amazed we were told by his launcher he short fueled so he would not get dizzy..we hollered no more Bill no more . we wanted the day to end on a up note.... when he greased his landing , his comments were well i knew how 49 years ago so what the big deal.. was a good day was fun to see Bill fly in  the circle instead of the lawn chair ..  GREAT DAY for a FIREBALL

Bill has been a reluctant flier for about two years.  I thought for sure someone else was flying Bill's plane but no it was indeed Bill.  He showed it no mercy.  Insides, outsides and figure eights, one after the other.  I think he could be a contender!

last try on this one

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! 

Without the patience, and enthusiastic support of all my fellow club members at Delta Park, I'd still be sitting on the side lines in a lawn chair, wishing I could fly!

Now, I'm having so much fun flying again, that I can hardly believe it's really happening! It's every bit as exciting as I remember my very first control line flights as a kid, and possibly even more enjoyable this time around, because of all the encouragement and support from my friends at Delta Park.

However, I will always cherish my time in that lawn chair, and always look forward to being there, and chatting with such good company! The stories bring back memories of all the wonderful times I've had with model airplanes over the years, and make me so very thankful that I'm in such good company!
