Title: Somethin'Extra first flight
Post by: Bob Reeves on April 07, 2008, 07:45:45 AM

Yesterday I talked Joe Gilbert into taking the Somethin'Extra for a ride. Long story but I have some sort of infection in my right arm and am not in any condition to be trying to fly a new stunt ship. Anyway it flys, need to make a minor adjustment to the elevator control rod and get more time on the Saito but all reports are positive..

Looks good Bob,

Get that arm fixed so you can fly your plane. You don't want the guy in the funny hat to fly it all the time.


Just kidding Joe. LL~

The guy flying is Joe Gilbert, he looked familiar so I went to the Cholla Choppers and looked at the ignition results and there was Joe's name.  Joe is without a doubt the most up beat have fun flyer I have ever met.  I had a great time just being around him oh and by the way he is a darn good flyer.  Hey Joe I look forward to seeing you again at VSC, I was the guy with the orange Lil Ziltch picking everybodys brain on ignition.  I may have finished last in ignition but because of people like you I sure had fun doing it.
