Added to my March Flite Log with the NW Fireballs - Youtube attached

Howdy ya'll !
Well today I added to my March flight log. I got to hang out with the NW Fireballs AGAIN !  (I was 15 minutes late, the early church service started at 8:45 not 8:30 like I thought – You know the Baptist services are longer then an hour) LOL.
Other then a little drizzle and some mild temperatures the weather was great for flying model planes. Art, Bill, Jeff, Leo, and Richard – Thanks for a wonderful day.
Richard let me fly one of his many Tutor 2’s. I am always a little apprehensive about flying  someone else’s plane but after the second flight I really liked the way the Tutor handles, compared to my planes. I had line tension in all my sloppy maneuvers. I like to feel the plane out on the end of the lines and without any sag in the lines. I am not saying the Tutor is the best ARF out there but I feel this is one plane that I could get use to flying. It goes where you point it. (Some people think it flys like a bus, but what do they know… Art)
Leo had a very nice Bear Nobler. Check out the muffler on that plane. At first I thought it could it be a Fox .35 with the new ceramic P&L’s. But is was something different. Can’t remember what Leo said was powering this plane. (OBTW Leo – I was talking to Marvin Denny and he says you are still a young kid.)

Any way what I am trying to say with this post is I had a great day with my NW friends! And fun was had by all. Thanks for the memories guys!
I am truly blessed with great friends.


Here is a link to a fun day.


PS- I took my Cheezehead buddies with me, I had my Cheezehead shirt on today.

  Hey Paul,
  Its always a lot of fun when you show up.  Wish you could stay a little longer one of these times and bring your wing man with you.  We will always have a plane for you to fly.

  PS you should have seen that FP 40 before I cleaned it.

As usual was great to see Paul again. I noticed a lot of these guys have improved thier flying this year so it makes it a lot more fun for them. I wish I could get better but now am slowed down by Old Folks Syndrome or what they call older age. Paul that is a Moki 51 in the Bear. I too hope someday you will be able to stay a little longer. We enjoy your southern accent and your smile. Leo

Paul, loved the video.  Isn't that what this hobby/sport all about.  Meeting new friends and flying in different parts of this great country.  Glad you had a good time.  DOC Holliday

Nice work on the video Paul. Every time I check out one of them I get the urge to go flying.

Thanks Frank,
That is one reason why Ryan and I put them together. Keeps the glow plug warm.

Well tomorrow I leave the NW area and head back home. I sure enjoyed the time I spent out here but I am ready to go home. Thanks again to the NW Fireball gang.

I am not much of a road warrior.   I miss the noise of my house. Kids ringing the door bell looking for my youngest son, makes the dawg bark and the wife yelling at the dawg to shut up. I miss it.

Hey I can remember when good ole Ma Bell would send me off for training on a new system and I would be gone for 8 to 12 weeks at a time.  Wasn't so bad when the school was close enough that I could drive and take stuff with me.  Also as stated it was great to get home and be able to go flying with the boy again.  DOC Holliday
