I saw where Derek suggested it was time and we are straining at the leash to begin this sacred act. The rules are as follows;
1.
2.
3.
To begin I'll just say Desperado is going to a gunfight.

Very nice looking airplane Dave

Very nice looking airplane Dave
Thank you.

When is the chit flingin' going to start? Where's Derek and Howard when we need'um? This is too dull, IMO... ;) ;) ;) Steve
PS: Howard is at the Auburn Airport (Dick Scobee Field) right now. Practising, and testing a mega-spread of VGs, assuming that the JCT has finished his DQ cone. Derek must be buffing his new dawg.
-
With all the bantering of last year, how close was it? Or who did come the closest to forcasting the Open results? And Dave if get it together on the official days like I have seen you fly before, you should be in contention for the Walker. Just don't trim yourself out of the running like another individual we know. Remember the first Chickopee NATS?
-
In looking at the early entries so far I see 22 open, 7 Advanced and 9 in the new Expert class. It would appear many are moving up from advanced rather than over from Open.......

I saw Derek's new plane flying this weekend. It looks very, very good. He put up dozens of practice flights with it.

I saw my plane flying this weekend. It looked good too. ;D ;D ;D

I wish that I could fly good enough to participate in the "Trash Talk"
When it came to baseball and street racing, I considered myself an authority on "Trash Talk".
I have a pretty good idea of what it takes to make the big time in Control Line Precision Aerobatics, and you are all heros in my book.
All of you hot shots have my due respect, and I wish you all the best at the upcoming NATS.
Fly your best and have a great time doing it.
It looks like my favorites, Brett, Dave and Ted will not be competing, so my money is on Paul, Howard, Derek and Doug, in that order.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!! I wish I could be there.
Larry, Buttafucco Stunt Team

Sorry guys I was busy polishing my towering awesomeness this weekend and did not have time to participate in the trash talk. Now I am back to work where I have unlimited internet time so, game on!
I pity the fools who come to Muncie with delusions of beating the Cutlass and I. You all will be weighed, you all will be measured, and you all will be found wanting.
Good luck!
My prediction is
1. Me
2. Doug and Paul can fight for second...
Derek

I hope that tower isnt too tall. Because it's gonna hurt when you fall off of it.
I pity the fools who come to Muncie with delusions....
Interviewer: “What’s your prediction for the fight?”
Clubber: “My prediction?”
Interviewer: “Yes your prediction.”
Clubber: (slowly looking into the Camera) “Pain!”
I said it before and I well say it again.
1. Me
2. everyone else.
;D ;D
I really have no idea how this will turn out, plane is flying like crap and we have had ZERO weather here this year. I have had 6 practice flights since February! I will be doing good to make the top 20.
-
I witnessed the aforementioned polishing of the towering awesomness... yes, that's right, some knucklehead actually suggested he go out and break tradition and practice. What were they thinking!!!!
"Gulliver, We're doomed! All doomed!! DOOOOOMED"
Except me of course, I'm going to sneak up and kick all y'alls butts with my new PA75 Katana... bwaahahahahahahahahahahah! Thppppptt!!

3. Brett
4. Howard.
Oh, wait, that was the placing at the NWR. Hmmm, could be repeated except that Derek will slip in there somewhere. LL~
-
There are several dark horses too, if they would just show up... One in particular took a lay off, and dare I say, his pattern looks improved to the point where lay-off's were suggested as a required part of his normal routine. ...And this is someone no stranger to the top 5 to begin with... :o

Derek, don't you remember from my experience at king orange that VGs create a laminar flow such that the low pressure sucked it off my plane.
Now, my predictions for the NATS after careful analysis is:
Derek, Paul Doug.
Good luck guys!! Wish I could be there

I never said that VGs do not work. This is the "trash talk" thread, remember. ;)

Remember, the PREDATOR is on the hunt for you!
In my first fly off, the Predator came out ahead of last years Nats plane, even with it's updates.
The Predator is now ready for prime time.
Remember, if you're not moving forward, you're moving backwards. My planes are moving forward, your's aren't. Be prepared for the outcome!
-
My planes are moving forward, your's aren't.
It's merely a matter of switching a couple of motor leads. Then I'll be ready for Teddy.
-
OK, I'll stop trash talking for just a second...People, ya still gotta do that pilot thing. We all didn't run out and build B-17's for some reason either...
Back to trash talk...
Time for the sage wisdom of the all knowing RB. We wuz all last in 2012 except for Dougie, cuz RB says so! Y'all better prepare to be last again!

I looked up Riff Raff in the freeonlinedictionary,
riff·raff (rfrf)
n.
1. People regarded as disreputable or worthless.
2. Rubbish; trash.
So, I want you guys to keep on thinking the above applies...
Then all of a sudden this thing will stomp in from nowhere with no one lookig for it!! BOOM!!

Now this thread is showing some promise! I am sure we will get to the usual level of delusional, egomaniacal, bullsh*t very soon now!
It's also quite illuminating in terms of psychology, more or less the internet equivalent of whistling in a graveyard.
Brett

Uhhh...everyone seems to be forgetting that Gentleman from the east that will definitely be in the "Hunt"...pun intended...I believe he is primed to do it again!
He's a good bet to "Shoot the Moon", "Run the Walker", and "Pick the Berry". LL~ LL~ LL~
Good Luck!

Got a couple of flights in last night....
First one at dusk.
Second one,,,,,I like using the moon as a marker for intersections.
I can't fly during the day
So, I fly at night
Most think there is no way
But Riff Raff will dominate at first light

Don't overlook electric flyer Chip Hyde. He's been off the radar lately. Maybe out practicing a lot? y1
-
I was out to the "ranch" Friday and saw that Walker guy fly. Wow, he is looking great!!!
He said he was getting ready for the first "kill" for the Predator at a competition next weekend. Once it gets a taste of blood in its mouth it will be hard to stop at the NAT's.
Watch out for that plane!

Dang Predator......Flew in its first contest and was not able to put up a 600 point score. Only got a 599.5..
I guess I'll have to get out last years plane as it has proven that it can get 600 point scores on a regular basis.
Oh well, the best laid plans! :(
-
What really rattled him was that the FDHA did not have the usual 20-point margin above the JV.

I sneaked in a 590 on Father's day. But that's along way from 599.5.

Trash talk - I can do that...
US Nats :
If your not running VG's you wont make Top 5.
and you will be GREEN with envy at those that did make it...
-
Yeah, VG's or not, things aren't going well. I probably won't make the trip that far east.
Too bad...:(

Paul, I know how intimidating this trash talking can be. I think the way to get your self-confidence back is to add lots more vortex generators.
Hope this helps.

Give up two appearance points???? Sorry, I am entirely to vain about my planes.
The plane will already do a perfect pattern. How much more perfect can perfect get? ;)

I truly hope that Paul is just messing with us and nothing is wrong. However, it will not change the outcome...
1. PA 65
2. PA 65
3-40. Who cares...

Jeez guys....you are WAY ahead if me. If I make it to Muncie I sure hope to make the top 10......Seeing that I don't have a PA 65, and my l-a-m-e electric motor is having issues with running at the same speed. Hope it gets worked out.
HOPE to see you at the Texas road kill!

I heard about that issue. It's not the only one. If you look carefully at the second picture, you can see the start of trouble from the stress concentration at the back of the canopy. My guess is that it's gotten serious.
-
Uhhhhhh...that looks more like stress concentration of the right index finger caused by too much photoshopping! LL~ LL~
Nice try though. Somehow I doubt that Paul's gonna buy it.

Boy I dont know,, I was in Deer Park for a Pylon race this weekend,, I heard some mysterious chuckling from across the airport, Not sure what that was all about but it was certainly sinister,, almost like a predetor who is sneaking up on his prey,,
speaking of praying,, you all might want to start,,
Just sayin,,,

Can't speculate on 2nd thru 'wherever', but PW's gonna' take all the marbles this year.

Yeah I am not buying it either, BRO! The guy that takes a 4 engine plane, a scale one at that, to the WCs would bring a kite to the nats if that's all he had available. ;D ;D

Ahh the old Texas Road House Café. Jeff Anderson and I dined and dashed there in 2000.
It was my night to buy and I told Jeff to sit tight while I went to the truck to get some travelers checks.
As I was walking back in, Jeff was walking out through the crowded lobby. Jeff says, "Don't sweat it I got it tonight.
We get in the truck and Jeff holds up the bill and says" Drive fast dude, I didn't pay for $hit"
One of the many, many adventures of the 2000 Nats.
Like the toilet papering of Bob Dixon's truck. Jeff locking Bob Dixon in the crapper.
The fake two for one coupons for the Pizza King. (They actually worked). Jeff telling everyone at the Nats that mustard in your motor is a premium lubricant, because he believed the marvel oil that I used was dispensed out of a plastic Frenches Mustard bottle. Jeff was boozed up for the entire week and still finished third in advanced.
I made a very official looking sign that said "Parking reserved for the Buttafucco Stunt Team". Every where we went that week, when we parked the truck, we would pull the sign out and place it in front of the truck.
It did raise a bit of a stink, when we waited for the parking spot closest to the lobby of the Signature Hotel to open up. I ran down stairs and moved the truck to that spot and put the sign out. We watched from our window as everyone who walked into the lobby stopped in their tracks when they saw the sign and wondered how the Buttafucco Stunt Team rated a prime parking spot in front of the lobby.
We were the first to the AMA site one morning and parked in the closest spot to the entrance, I put the sign in front of the truck and headed up to the L pad.
A couple of hours later I found the sign tapped to the door of one of the port-a-potties.
I didn't think that was very funny.
2001 was even better

Try as they might
A win for JCT
has never seen flight.
If Walker shows
and if the wind blows
it could be Hunt to be the best.
Or who knows
it could be the Moon
who flies over the coo-coo's nest.
What ever the outcome
I don't care
cause me and my dad will still be there.
Best of luck to all,

That was also the night of one of the greatest Nats quotes ever.
After a few hours of drinking, eating, and getting to know some of the locals at the Texas Roadhouse....
(really hot) Bartender- Where are you guys from?
Derek- Right outside of Augusta, Georgia. Home of the Masters Golf tournament. (you can imagine my southern accent for yourself)
Steve and John- Dallas Texas.
Bartender- Oh really that's cool. Do you guys have Texas Roadhouses in Texas?
Steve- (without a second of hesitation) No, we have Indiana Roadhouses....
Bartender- Bewildered look followed by a burst of laughter.
Bartender- Really???
Derek, Steve, and John- rolling laughter followed by more drinks.
What a great night. I don't think she charged us for any of the drinks, just the food.
Derek

Derek
-
With this I guess I'm good to go!
YES YES!!! That's all you need. Dont bother with the plane its too much trouble. Just bring the kite, Bro, and you are golden!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Please just bring the kite!! Seriously, the plane,,,,not needed this time.
When the winds blow
The kite will fly
But in the show
The scores for Riff Raff will be quite high

You can't let 105 degrees bother you. Besides, it doesn't bother the kite. Don't tell anyone, but I'm not the BOM of that kite. Found it in a kite shop in Pacific Beach Wa in May.
I would rather fly in 105 here than 90 over your way. It did get a little ugly here Monday as it was 95 and 70% humidity. The density ratio was 85% and felt just like Muncie. Good practice for that kite. I do have problems with the wingover and overhead eights though. I'll keep working at it.

You should come down to the sod farm some time in June. 100 degrees and 95% humidity. That is till the afternoon thunderstorm, then it goes up to 100% humidity.
Derek

It also hits 100% at the sod farm when the sprinklers come on... or at least the dew point spikes a fair bit.
I bet that little duckling still hasn't come back after your assault Derek. :##

Edited for meter, although it still doesn't make much sense.
-
combat is loud with lots of heat
while wearing a clown suit
oh what a feat
but in stunt your plane is mute
-
JCT will try for the win
only to find a small fit of rage
because in the end
Moon will be the name they engrave

You should come down to the sod farm some time in June. 100 degrees and 95% humidity. That is till the afternoon thunderstorm, then it goes up to 100% humidity.
Derek
The difference here is altitude. While your conditions are not friendly to you, my conditions are not friendly to the plane. Your relative density is nearly 91% where mine is about 85%. That's a big difference!
-
If humidity is making you slow,
and to the Nats, you fear to go,
Allay all fears such as these,
The answer is plain, desiccant VGs.

Hope all of you keep your day jobs. LL~ LL~

Doc I dont think Robert Frost or Edgar Allen Poe are in any danger...except maybe from Howard. He kinda favors Edgar... ~^ ~^ ~^ ~^ ~^

Well, I have an earth shaking yet obvious prediction on who will win the Walker Trophy at the NATS:
the competitor with the highest score during the Fly-Off...........
BIG Bear
RNMM/AMM

Uhhhh !! that would not do it.. The competitor has to have at least 2 scores that total more than the average of the other pilots scores,
So a pilot could have the highest score but still fail to win.... Bummer huh?

Designed to keep one killer flight from winning. Depends on how you look at it. Is one amazing flight worth more than 2 or 3 very, very good flights? Just depends on your point of view.

There are questions about P.W. going I heard that Orestes will be there, so here is my prediction. The west coast participation willapparently be light.
1) Hunt
2) Derek
3) Doug Moon
4) Orestes
5) Oliver or Wieder
If P.W is coming, put him in 4th and every one else moves down one.
-
I guess the question at the appearence judging will be "Is Derek coming??" LL~ LL~
Good luck to you guys...

Hey, it's a 2500 miles one way. I'm surprised any folks get there from the west coast.

I agree, Randy. It is not fair for the number of great fliers on the West Coast.

Soon you will see
The Moon is new
A little less than two weeks
And the JCT will be blue
I meant to mention that yesterday saw a waxing Moon.
-
An waxing moon. Now that's funny.

It's OK with me. I kinda enjoy the trip.
Probably more West Coast stunt fliers (the great ones, anyhow) are volunteers running the contest than are contestants.

That's odd I thought I saw Paul flying today. So I know there was at least 2 great west coast fliers, flying today. I also think they had rat droppings on their wings.

Among the West Coast people helping out were Dave Fitzgerald, Ted and Shareen Fancher, Lanny Shorts, and Bruce Hunt. I think they outnumber those of us flying.
When he flies, Dave has more VGs now than any of the rest of us.
