Yessir....it is my busy work season and has been about 6 weeks or a wee less since I have gotten to fire up the engine and smell some castor and nitro.
Filmed the third flight today. Not looking for a critique so much ( though I know that is asking a lot on here

) but was really just filming to see how I was doing. Of couse, I see ALL my mistakes but I look for good stuff as well. The usual suspects, intersections and bottoms et al.
Hoping to get out tomorrow too then will be back on the road with my show.
Sure felt good to grab the handle.

Does one sock longer then the other help?

Balances me out! It is a compression calf sock as I have a bad knee and doing my show all summer, many three a day shows, is hard on it. I have some bone on bone and the calf compression really helps. And looks cool....

There is a new treatment for that now. You might want to look into it. Requires little to no down time and is done as out patient.

A friend of mine I backpack with recently had this done. Guess why his knees were bad? I will get the details for you and pm them over.

Backpacking is one of my passions......I look forward to the info. Just back from a quick one nighter testing a new hammock.

You would be disappointed trying to test that hammock where we go. We spend most of our time well above the tree line.

Shug, when I see your videos, the ones with the Prowler are mo' betta. It looks like it either flies better or maybe you just fly it better. Intersections on the 8's and Clover need some work. You're flying Advanced, am I right?

I'm working at it. First time in a while. It always all needs work, right?
Flew advanced in one competition.

Shug, Are you coming to Huntersville this fall? If you are, I have a proposition for you, If you spend 10 minutes showing my 7 year old how juggle, I will supply an airplane for you to fly a combat match with me. If we wreck them so be it. I don't care about the planes but I know that my boy spending 10 minutes watching you will have a lasting effect on him. You are a hoot and we enjoy your videos. Regards, Mike.

I am planning on coming down...about 90% sure at this point.
I'd be happy to show him some juggling tips. Does he juggle at all?

mike londke · « **Reply #13 on:** August 09, 2015, 08:03:13 AM »

No he does not, but I know he will be amazed to watch you in person. I like to expose him to new things so who knows what will spark with him. He might take an interest.

Tell everyone here Mike, your son flew Junior Stunt at the Nats. Very very cool, and we all enjoyed and applauded when he landed. Good job Sam.

Well, he did put up a flight but it was hardly stunt. Dan Banjok talked us into entering Sam after Dan saw him fly. As much as we enjoyed it, I did not want to take away from Samantha and Ben who are great up and coming stunt flyers. Samuel and I worked on the Basic flight pattern last week and he will be flying in Paducah this Saturday.

Wow, flying models must be boring for you.

Quite the contrary...work is work no matter how it looks.

I am about an hour from Lake City in Fort Pierce. Can you come over and fly with us. I will let you fly my plane and will take you to the the Hog Trough to eat.

Thanks a ton for the offer but between the shows and all the other stuff I do with the clients I don't get any free time. And have no car. I fly down. Thanks again though.
