NEWS FLASH!!!! HOWARD RUSH'S SECRET INVENTION SUCCESS REVEALED!!!!

[Shultzie]

Since the beginning of  U control line precision aerobatics......THE QUEST OF FINDING THE "HOLY-GRILL" (sic) OF U CONTROL HANDLES has always been virtually a black art science and often the results have been not always been proved as a boon' or a bust!

Only Howard can attest to the accuracy of this latest NEW'S FLASH about his latest innovative new handle that he has programmed to pefection.
Just like the newest stealth fighter planes....which could never be flown without a computer assist that is wired into the fly by wire control panels....it is rumored that our beloved brotha in balsa has taken this new technology to the stunt circle. 

This find was sent to me via E mail...that if I reveiled my source I would be forever EXILED INTO CYBERSPACE BY NO JUST ONE...BUT ALL U CONTROL-LINE FORUM BOARDS and taken out to the Green River and fitted with specially fitted CEMENT-BOOTS and liken'd the Green River Killer...be thrown into the swollen river by Alfred E. Newmannnn himself.

I HEAR THAT HOWARD HAS TO WEAR FITTED GLOVES TO HIDE HIS NEW INVENTION FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON! 
REMEMBER ONLY SPARKY'S STUNT HANGER HAS THIS BREAKING NEWS FIRST!!!!!
If you look closely..you will see the fitting where the control-lines themselves attached to the thumb and pinky finger...directly without the use of any handle what-so-ever! (again borrowed from those early day China-Japan based stunt flyers who utilized a similar DOULBLE RINGS that they attached to their nose pickin' finger and pinky finger. The results were quite effective in the good ol days..but with todays new highly powered and larger sized stunt models....

HOWARD THOUGHT WE NEEDED A NEW TECHNOLOGLY UPDATE!
HOWARD...PLEASE FILL US IN ON YOUR NEW FLIGHT TEST DATA  AND WHEN WE CAN WITNESS SOME OF THOSE TEST FLIGHTS WITH THIS NEW CONCEPT DEVICE OF YOUR'S?
(the second photo with the pink background was the first lab concept that proved too fragile.)

"ROBO-RUSH"!!!!!!!!!!

[Shultzie]

I just got a note from my friends in the Phantom Works robotic section that indeed could program this set of high definition Eye balls with a chip that would help ROBO-RUSH  place that perfect programmed pattern place....DEAD RIGHT ON IN FRONT OF THE JUDGES.

However....I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THESE EYE-BALLS NEED TO BE GIVEN TO EACH AND EVERY BLIND SOUL THAT DARE CALLS HIMSELF A STUNT JUDGE! Actually these should be standard issue for any and all PAMPA, AMA, AND FAI EVENTS!!! 

[Bill Little]

OWWWWWWWW, OUCH!    Now be kind to those judges!  LOL!!!!!!

(say, can I steal.......... er, BORROW those for a while???  I would only need those and the hand for the month of July, and during Team selection dates, for the next ten years!)

[Keith Spriggs]

This would be "The six million dollar flier"?

[Shultzie]

OWWWWWWWW, OUCH!    Now be kind to those judges!  LOL!!!!!!

(say, can I steal.......... er, BORROW those for a while???  I would only need those and the hand for the month of July, and during Team selection dates, for the next ten years!)

WOW! THERE I GO AGAIN...BASHIN MY BALSA BUDS! (pretty bad humor on my part huh? Just tryin' to be tryin' gads....
Thanks for your encouraging words.... I swear I gotta lay off the new McDonalds ICE COFFEE...THERE IS SOMETHIN IN THAT JAVA that I can't control?
OL BADBOY DON!

[Shultzie]

DO YOU THINK OUR HOWARD IS TRYING TO AVOID GIVING US MORE INSIDE INFORMATION ON HIS NEW HIGH TECH STUNT GEAR?

I sent him an E mail..INVITING HIM TO GIVE MORE DETAILS ABOUT TODAYS..."NEWS FLASH!"
Perhaps he's taken a contract out on me for unveiling his secret projects.

[Howard Rush]

Sparky, didn't Leonard warn you about this guy?

[Shultzie]

Sparky, didn't Leonard warn you about this guy?

 n~HOWARD!!!
When I saw that ROBO HAND!!! WHO ELSE COULD HAVE I EVEN BEGIN TO THINK OF....I will never forget the first time that I had the opportunity to finally get a close up and personal look at your home combat hanger...that was filled with amazing high technology items than none of us stunt-grunts had even thought about using to improve our building craft.

Such items...as adding graphite cloth. resin molded parts....beautiful light weight foam building and cutting techniques.  Whether or not you know it or not....YOU WERE SURFIN' THE WAVE OF NEW CONCEPTS..FOR SOOOOOO MANY OF US NORTHWEST MODEL-ADDICTS...

Also one thing that reeeeeeeeeeeally bothered my soul.....

How you, and your partners is crime....Phil Granderson, Dirty D Rufflesfeatherford, the Huffster kid...etc. COULD TAKE THOSE BEAUTIFUL HI-TECH DESIGNED AND CRAFTED COMBAT MODELS...AND THEN GO OUT AND BASH-TRASH-N' CRASH THE LIVING CRAPPALDO OUT OF THEM...OFTEN IN LESS THAT 20 SECONDS OF AIR TIME!!!
Wow! How the skies over the Aerospace center ball fields would rain parts.

Howard...Please give me some grace on my sic humor.. but the Devil made me send this picture of Lenny. Don't you see the resemblence? 

[Howard Rush]

I forwarded that picture to Mike Friend, your old wind tunnel mate.  Folks, check out the detail in that picture.

[Leo Mehl]

It looks to me that these hands were paterned after my wifs hand and I have an answer for that question. It will never fly

[Shultzie]

I forwarded that picture to Mike Friend, your old wind tunnel mate.  Folks, check out the detail in that picture.

MIKE FRIEND!!!! WOW! HOWARD!!!! THANKS FOR MENTIONING HIS NAME!
