Typical day at the field?
« on: August 30, 2014, 05:50:57 PM »
I hate the drive to the field, but when I get there it's always great fun with great guys.  #^

Florida heat and Florida sun, but who cares. Chairs with cup holders help this.

Not good to have an engine quit in a wingover. Broken gear but no damage to the model or the modeler. Not a trick photo, model stuck right in the ground! Seen that before?

Dennis got in some great flights, including one with my Pathfinder. See it comming! See it going!

I did a couple of flghts with it also. Nothing fancy, loops and eights.

Eventually I'll get my wooooooo buddy)))))))) Shug pattern down.  LL~

I don't know who those other guys are, they don't talk to me. I'm kidding! Just Kidding!

Our ages add up to 1364.  n~

I did that to my Fronkensteen 4 not long ago. I'm happy my field has some dirt over the coral rock.

Jim Lee had that happen at the Omaha Contest several years back with his SunFlyr.  Luckily it had rained almost a week straight before the contest so the ground was soft.  Lawn Darted it after engine killed, burried the nose right up to the wing.  Only thing borken was the prop.  Sure was a sight to see.

Elaine Brookins got a video of that ....!    Would have been interesting to have seen my face!!!
Made me curious..  Check of log book shows that was June 9, '96...    Plane had less than 100 flights, over 1100 now.   Only time it actually got damaged ( other than a few hundred patches to the tissue!!) was when a dust devil grabbed it and picked it up and slammed it into the ground several years ago...   Broke the outboard wing almost completely off...
Thanks
Jim
