Title: VINTAGE COMBAT PLANE FESTIVAL!
Post by: C.T. Schaefer on May 28, 2013, 02:36:25 PM

September 8, 2013 at the Garden State Circle Burners field in Lincoln Park, N.J.
  Get your old Voodoos, Giant Killers, Half Fast, Wow's or whatever and bring them out to fly or just show. Other than the usual AMA safety rules there are none! Matches will neither be encouraged or discouraged. The main idea is to see and hear the old junk fly!

Any questions: Tom Schaefer earthingbrush2@yahoo.com  or  Tom Hampshire th31919@gmail.com

     About 3 weeks to go...  This might be a real good time to drag your Half Fast down from the rafters and patch up the silk.

If I can  the almost 50 year old Voo Doo up and running with the Johnson CS then all I will need is a ride to the field! ;D

Yes. 10am sounds good! Please bring out any thing from 'the day'. I guess a pull test would be a good idea, eh?

           I truly enjoyed Banjock spinning around flying the MK7. It was neat to see Dan and my son in the circle just enjoying themselves. Ken

Tom,
Nice video. To those who are interested in viewing more great still shots of the day, go to GSCB.US and click on 2013 pics.
Thanks go, I believe, to Tom Hampshire and Rich Peabody. Apologies to anyone else who may have provided pics.

Thanks...it was a-hummin' nicely  ;)

Did I hear someone say the time was 15.5? If that was so, then the Cat was doing 116 mph  H^^

I think TL must have edited that film. Shortly after, the stab pulled out of the boom and the Cat tumbled through the air and planted itself several inches underground. Repairs are underway! Motor ok thanks to the softish GSCB earth. G-21 sounded good with a prop I never tried before. APC 7.8x7. Al had me at 15.2.    TS

15.2, that's over 118 mph  #^. I'll have to try that prop. How much nitro? The Cat looked like it turned pretty good, too.
