Mark...Just to think...with todays technology....The new wave of on board cameras are so small that we could easily put an inside camera up front and inside that rose color tinted canopy.
Can you imagine what kind of U TUBE MOVIE THAT WOULD MAKE?

(Especially with my often reeeeeeally close calls in tuckin' that 2nd outside corner of the reverse wingover?

Check out this amazing little camera?

(ALSO JUST ADDED! (ROBO GLASSES borrowed from HOWARD RUSH!) These little ROBO-PEEPERS JUST MIGHT BE JUST THE TICKET FOR BLIND OL' STUNT GRUNTS LIKE ME?

hmmm rose tinted canopy, would that make all the mistakes I make in flight look better? might be worth it if the judges watched the cam instead of the plane,, hehe,,
I did see somewhere that someone had posted a video file of an inflight control line plane, was pretty cool,,

Shultzie · « **Reply #5 on:** April 04, 2007, 03:00:52 PM »

I think that rose tinted glasses for judges should also be standard issue gear...humm?

Randy.....
I'll try to do some Goodwill shopping....for some beautiful old 1970 ish plaid pants and funny hats and I'll keep an outlook for some lime green nylon leasure suit for that beautiful Novi of yours. I think White bucks or patent' leather slip on shoes would really be "snazzzy n
jazzy. Maybe even buy some fake fur to make long side burns to go with the Miles Davis huge sunglasses.

Ah, you guys weren't with it. You forgot beards. I dressed dull because I couldnt afford all those white gitups. all I had was a good sense of hummer, or was warped sense of-------. Who nows, I always had fun. And a lot of us built planes that looked like jets. Randy is still building them. That's ok because I still build planes that look like homebuilt planes. Does this mean we are never going to change? Yup! I like answering my own questions.......

HEY-HEY-HEY "Shultzie"

Are you in luck----I got a "Lime Green Leisure Suit" hangin in my closet, you want I should send it to Randy? I ain't got a hat to go with it tho. Yup I remember them days.

PS:

HI LEO

That's a keeper...
RANDY would look soooo cooool in that suit..flyin that great lime green Novi! Wow!
HEY RANDY...IF YOU ARE LURKIN....WHAT A GIFT, HUH?

Randy Powell · « **Reply #11 on:** April 05, 2007, 12:48:03 PM »

Thanks guys, but I'm set. Got some taco boots, chinos and a lime green satratha. I think with a white Panama hat, I'll be fine (I did grow up in East LA after all).

Mark Scarborough · « **Reply #12 on:** April 05, 2007, 12:53:43 PM »

yeah but Randy, you ned to think of what will happen when the judges looke through their rose colored glasses, that green getup will turn all brown and dingy,,

Randy Powell · « **Reply #13 on:** April 05, 2007, 03:47:37 PM »

Mark,

Based on my scores from the last few contests, somehow, I don't see that as an issue.

Leo Mehl · « **Reply #14 on:** April 05, 2007, 04:21:03 PM »

I resemble some of these styles. I remember wearing some of those crazy plaid pants and a body shirt. Man was I cool. I used to have my shirts tapered becouse I had a 15 collar and 28 inch waste. Boy has all that changed.The guy that seems to have saved his shape Is Bill-g. I can remember my grand daughter coming over to me and lifting my belly so she can see my belt buckel What a revolting development.

My body hasn't shrunk either but what the heck I still get to hug all the old ladies. A tool shed is a handy thing but i am not shure why.

THAT PANAMA HAT HAS TO HAVE A PURPLE HAT BAND to make the outfit complete?

Shultzie,

Well, that's a problem. It's snake skin.

Oh and I forgot clip on Sunglases for us that wore Glasses. In those days I was so skinny that if I stuck my tounge out and turned sideways I looked like a zipper.
