Looking forward to more get togethers like this soon.

Post by: Jim Svitko on March 18, 2017, 05:50:09 PM: Gil, if you want "disturbing" winds, come to DFW. Today was not bad, maybe 10 mph, but I had other things to do so I could not get to the field. Tomorrow the winds are forecast to be 15-25. It is forecast to be windy most of next week. I try to make the most of my time by building when I can't fly due to high winds.

And, if too windy, I can't spray dope since I have to paint in the garage. Debris blows into the garage so I have to wait for a fairly calm and low humidity day.

I intend to be in Baton Rouge for your next contest.

Post by: john e. holliday on March 18, 2017, 05:57:12 PM: Thanks for the great pictures of you guys having fun. Winds 10-15 mph are a light breeze. Would have been out but they won't let me until I see the doctor. But, really getting out to the field with guys is fun even if you don't get a plane out of the car.

Post by: Joseph Patterson on March 22, 2017, 10:36:56 PM: Disregard this post I didn't view J Holford's video which is self explanatory. Very well done James!
   PIC#1 - Steve Millet's "NEMESIS" - his spin off of the NOBLER W/ OS32F
   PIC#2 - John Blanchard with Allan Perret firing up his beautiful Ringmaster Deluxe w/ Aero-Tiger 36, or did he change out to an Enya?
   PIC#3 - L-R- Nick Iiaussa, Gil- "Bootlegger", and Brent Rogillio
   PIC#5 - James Holford wounded RM
   PIC#7 - Steve Millet and John Blanchard getting ready to put up Steve's Nemesis I guess - In the line behind the Nemesis is Allan Perret's SV-11, followed by
   John Blanchard's Steve Moon prototype ULTRA HOBBIES IMPACT W/ DISCOVERY-RETRO 60, and the last plane is a WHO DAT? Don't know the name
   of the plane nor the owner. Maybe the bootlegger or Perry Rose can clear this up.
   PIC#8 - The Bootlegger w/ Nick's Pathfinder?
   PIC'S#9 & 10 - Perret flying the Ringmaster Deluxe
   PIC'S#11 &12 - Perry Rose putting in a flight on - that just might be that "WHO DAT" plane???

Post by: Perry Rose on March 23, 2017, 05:25:18 AM: The Who Dat plane is a Shark 610 designed by Pat Johnston Gil is flying the Shark 560 by the same designer.
