I'm gathering stuff as we speak to take it to Auburn.

You're going today, or tomorrow? Let me know if you need a conehead. LL~ Steve

On the morrow, weather authorities permitting.

Close, real close to the truth.
The last time Howard had a new model he asked that I come to the field. We talked for a bit, Howard flew a few times.
"So, when do you leave for the Nationals?"
"Tomorrow morning."
That wasn't the scary part. It was the way he said it, as if it were the most natural thing to do.
New model...check.
Biggest contest of the year coming up...check.
Driving from Seattle area to Indiana...check.
Need to put some flights on this dog...check.
Practice, why practice?...check.
Leaving tomorrow morning...check.
What could possibly go wrong?...check.
Butt-load of optimism...check.
C'mon Marilou! Let's ride!

That was about the plan I had in 2006, and it worked out OK.

Yep, it sure did. And it led to one of my better comments on the day: "Who do you think you are? Brett Buck?"

Rumor is he finally did a few patterns with it today. He surely must be ready for the top 5 with that much practice!
-
All I know is that it's rumored to be white, blue, orange and black. At least there's no purple, or he might be mistooken for Uncle Jimby. VD~ Steve

This sounds to be bad news. Howard didn't select a "Pimp My Model Aircraft" paint scheme did he? Tell me it's not so...

Aren't you supposed to be working in your garden, composting FS arfs or something?
R U going to the WCSC? It's in August this year, which I haven't quite gotten my head around yet. I guess it conflicted with the Oskosh Fly-In? We got no NW contests in July! Why not??? HB~> Steve

I got wind of where Howard was test flying his new ship.
I jumped in the car to go and try to photograph it for the forum..
This was as far as I got.....

-
Whaaat? LL~

I don't know who Selman Haik is, but I'm sure I don't want pictures of him. Now if you have pictures of Salma Hayek, that's a whole different thing...
-
yeah well when them thar women get into my brain,, it seems that somehow the whole spellin and cipherin thing goes gunny bags,,
-
Well, now we are off the beaten path. At my age it seems, they are good to look at, but what use are they???
H^^
Have you noticed the bigger the air bags, the skinnier the legs. VD~
-
OT, but funny! :o
-
Come now Doc - even at your age surely that would be of SOME use to you ?

I'll bet she's a great swimmer..

Let's hope Howard has his wires installed right. I heard that was a problem with electronic dogs. LL~ Steve
-
OK, this got pretty far off track.
-
Fair enough. But I'm still waiting for somebody to post pics of Howard's new electronic dog. y1 Steve
-
Just have to wait for the NATS pictures. LL~ LL~ LL~
-
OK, this got pretty far off track.
Um, so far I'm just fine with that. ;D
-
Well now.....since Howard is VERY busy at the Nat's. Here is a photo(poor quality) of the said "Dog". Maybe Mr. Walker might give us some extra info on Howard's Dog. ENJOY.

Depends what country you come from. That is the correct spelling for English English (As opposed to American English).
Same occurs throughout the dictionary, we spell as Analyse (Analyze), Colour (Color), acclimatise (acclimatize), Centre (Center).
The list goes on and on.
In the case of Authorise (z) it actually came from the French Autoriser (With an "s") but the French changed it because that comes from the Medieval Latin "Auctorizare" (With a "z"). OK, End of lesson. ;)
So it's all actually France's Fault. LL~

Well now. Perry is in Canada, and PJ is in Australia. It appears that you might be in England, and I'm in the US of A.
Looks to me like we are at least 4 nations separated by a common language. y1 Steve

Most things are.

In case anybody's still interested, I finally took some pictures of the new dog.

Howard,
Very nice. How about a little info on your set up? Thanks.
-
I do like the LEDs.
-
Its when you see Howards models up close you realise why he always scores high in AP.
Nothing to do with JCT political views -
Simply - He does amazing craftsmanship.
Well done Howard, this is the first time I've seen details photos' looks amazing once again.
-
Yea, that's a dog of a plane for sure.. y1
Hey Howard: How did you do that fade out graphic on the wing tips ?
-
Howard came up with some good advice for the both of us. He said we should spend less time writing cute little poems about how awesome are planes are and spend a little more time flying them before we get to Muncie. I have to say.....I agree. HB~>

-
Is this the one that got splattered at the NATS? I need to check my handle.
-

I listed it on the Electric forum setup list. It's copied from Paul Walker's, but I'm behind on motors.
I do like the LEDs.
Those are to keep track of whether I have changed the battery and whether I've removed it from the airplane.
Yea, that's a dog of a plane for sure.. y1
Hey Howard: How did you do that fade out graphic on the wing tips ?
The stripes on the wing are paint. The hexagonal peterout is a decal printed from TurboCad. It's either Bel or Micro-Mark paper printed with a laser printer. Matching the paint took several tries.
Is this the one that got splattered at the NATS? I need to check my handle.
I mentioned something about splattering one because of a handle cable, but I wasn't clear about when. I did that several years ago. This plane remains unsplattered as of this post.

Thanks for posting the pitchers (sic), Howard. I shall have to take a close look at the "hair of the dog" when I see it in person. H^^ Steve
