Title: Flying a Bi-Slob on a Unicycle)))
Post by: Shug Emery on July 18, 2014, 04:28:58 PM
I was dared....so I dared to go for it. My Nimbus unicycle and Bi-Slob made a good pair.

Maybe you can include CL model flying into your stage act somewhere, sometime? I have to admit, electric power would work better than IC for this.  :-[ Steve

So, Perry Rose was complaining over at "Debate Central" that the pattern should have more steps that just "beginner" and "the full meal deal".

I think we just found it.  Don't let people fly an abbreviated pattern in Intermediate and Advanced -- instead, make the Experts fly the pattern while riding unicycles!!

It works for me -- as long as I can drop back to Advanced.

Electric Bi-Slob? Need that hang time. Or a bigger concrete circle so I can roll better.
That is a great fair. I have friends that work it.

Advanced on big wheels and Intermediate on pogo sticks and beginner whilst hula hooping!

True Stunt Stunt........
Unicycling and flying is easier than doing the actual Stunt Pattern correctly I fear.

Banjok's long lost brother?? #^ #^ HB~>
I love that feller. Saw his jet stunt thing from the NATS. He is always smiling and looks to just love it all.

Too bad Dan has no Computer. #^ #^

Smart man!

Can you show us how you have your cameras set up? One on the ground and one on a pole?
I have three cameras I set up. One on the ground under the planes flight track....one on a big light pole that sits near our circle I climb up and hook to and one behind me.

I'm tellin' ya, the boy ain't right. :##  LL~ :##
Yessir....Right is over-rated. It sure was fun to go and do. The Slob was perfect. Not on video but busted my motor mounts.....off to the shop.

I knew he could do it!

Way to go Shug!!! BW@
Had to be done. Next....three balls juggled in one hand whilst flying.
This is all just too much goodly fun.

What could be more fun than unislobbing at your local ball diamond. That was fun Shug. What else ya got? You are definitely Jim Walker material. Maybe try two Bislobs and a Ringmaster at the same time from the unicycle.

   Pretty cool Shug! I don't know if you are aware, but there is a reason this event is called "stunt". In the early days of control line at the Nationals, there was no set "pattern". You pretty much told the judges what tricks you planned to fly, and then they judges you accordingly. Guys flew while doing cart wheels, flying through burning balsa barriers, balloon busting and any "stunt" that they though would impress the judges. I'm pretty sure Davey Slaggle won his first NATS championship flying a Jim Walker Whip Powererd model, no engine, and did all sorts of crazy stuff. At this point in time, no one had flown inverted successfully yet. With this act, I think you would have bee a shoo-in for first p[lace! And your uni-cycle looks like the first one I ever saw with a trials/universal tire! Better for bouncing with?

A proud day for me. It was tricky to do...plus windy!

Sounds like Circus Stunt. That sound so good and crazy. Maybe they should bring that category back!
It is a a trails uni. Yes it does have good bounce and action....I love off-road unicycle too but I can't walk the next day...

Can't believe my eye!

When we published the "Slob" we started an international disease. But this... This is truly worthy on admission to Bellevue.

Shug, you are even crazier than Dan.

Yeah Tom; Its all your fault. It is hard to be serious when you are Slobbing.

Off the charts - on the other hand, a Bi Slob & a unicycle seem a perfect match...

It is my favorite disease and a perfect match for doing on the unicycle. I have a standing invite to Bellevue))))

Yeah Tom; Its all your fault. It is hard to be serious when you are Slobbing.
My hope is that everyone in our club soon has a Slob and we can have a Slob-a-Thon!
Yes...serious and Bi-Slobbing do not go together.
I did break my motor mount so the Slob is on the table to be patched.

Off the charts - on the other hand, a Bi Slob & a unicycle seem a perfect match...
They for sure are a perfect and unusual pair! Thankee.

There is more to the BiSlob story. I will get some pictures together and tell it.

Shug you should try to go to Brodak's next year with your Slob, we always had a great time Bi Slobing. Here in New York the Bi Slob is catching on . Jim Borelli has a front row finished Slob.I have 3, Joe Daley has one  and John P. has one.  :) :) :)Maby 4 in acircle with one on a Uni Cycle. #^ #^

Neal,
My most recent Slob is really beat up. Needs new tail surfaces and more patches. It is sticky since I used mono coat which I hate. I now use any color paint for repairs... after all it should look like a Slob. I guess I'll have to repair it again. Have intentionally landed on the tail and and took off again too many times.

All my Slobs have been scratch built...I don't believe in Arfs. I can build it lighter.

Tell Borelli that it is a SLOB it should look like a SLOB!

I don't think anyone will be able to top the unicycle act!

Mine is an ARF...wanted to get into the air quickly...though I will build on from a kit next. I need to get better at modeling and scratch building.
My Slob is on the repair table right now too. Busted motor mounts...nose in landing.
Next I will go for it on the tall unicycle!

Shug, you're nutz!!!! I love it!!!!!
It was a personal gaol to do it. Thanks. Madness can be fun!

Ok here is a crazy thought.

Shug on his tall unicycle, flying a BiSlob with his left hand and juggling those red balls with his right hand while balancing his throwing knife on his nose.   :##
And two people at the edge of the circle throwing boomerangs around the circle.

Has anyone seen all his shenanigans on YouTube? He's a hoot!

Great stuff Shug!

Like I said its a crazy thought. Dont try this at home.
