Hey Frank,
Where is the picture of all the guys it takes to get that thing in the air?  Shall we call them the Carlisle Collective-many people working as one?

Frank & his LA Heat was the talk of the Cleveland Stunt Contest last week end.

Frank said his help wanted t-shirts.

I think "LA HEAT" on the front along with a photo of the plane.

On the back an outline of Michigan & Carlisle Stunt Team over the state outline.

SWEEEEET!

All electrical things have a genie inside of them. If you let the genie out it will quit working. If you see smoke, that was the genie.

Here's my picture of the pit crew. A benefit I never considered about this plane is that a whole crowd of guys can have fun playing with it at the same time.  

Curt held the plane
John started it
Tom pulled the ignitors
Jim talked me through the flight

I get so excited watching the plane fly I forget where I'm at in the pattern.
The run times are still all over the chart but with only 32 flights there is still a learning curve. Based on the scores I'm getting with incomplete patterns once it all gets worked out I'll be able to put up a shelf to display the trophies.

Please note the profile of the plane in the first picture. It took some getting used to when flying it.

Here is an important question.........I keep getting told that the engines sound cool and that the plane presents well. All I've seen is just the inboard side and the engines always sound the same.

DO YOU THINK I SHOULD LET SOMEONE FLY IT SO I CAN SEE HOW IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS FROM THE SIDE?

[Randy Powell]

Frank,

That would depend on who you let fly it. 

[frank carlisle]

Indeed it would Randy.........I wonder if there would be anyone who would want to fly it.

by the way..........I've been following your posts but have been either too tired ( contest every weekend) or two obsessed about my work to do much more than look or make monosyllabic replies. The season is officially over for me now so I'll be getting more talkative in the next week or two.

Thanks for the advanced warning, Frank!!!!!!!!!
