Title: Stinka Stunt..... and playing cowboy.
Post by: Paul Taylor on May 10, 2012, 04:43:04 PM: We got out to the field today to mow the grass and get a little handle time only to find that the farmers cows got out and pooped all over the field. When as I drove up the drive way they must have thought my truck was the farmers truck.
I got out of the truck and they all came running. NO FEED HERE.
Some one had already called and the farmer was on the way. But poop was all over the RC field. Guess they did not care much for the grass on the control line circle. ;D
Anyway after a hour or so the cows were back on there side of the fence. Farmer had feed in his truck.
We got the mowers out and the poop and grass started to fly. I turned a corner and hit a pile of poop and the tractor got side ways. Man that was a lot of poop! LL~

We did get some much needed handle time. I would have never guessed it but my first two flights I could not get a good engine run. Lou and Jim suggested that I remove the muffler pressure. I always run muffler pressure on my LA .46's, they love it. But what did I have to lose. So I pulled the pressure tube from the muffler. BINGO! I got two good engine runs. Not every plane is the same is my thinking now.
Bryon put up a maiden flight on his Chevelle and his two F-Twisters flew great. One with a Evo 36.
His Chevelle sure looks good and the PA 51 sounded sweet.

As a teenager on the farm, the barn yard was big enought to fly my plane. But, I had to make sure the cows were out on the pasture side of the gate. Was lucky that I did not land in one. By the way, you know the dried up cow pattie was the original Frisbee.

Now I need to get out and mow the circle where I fly. H^^

Post by: FLOYD CARTER on May 11, 2012, 10:44:02 AM: Reminds me of the day I landed my Aeronca "Champ" in a farmer's pasture. Uneventful landing. The farmer gave me 5 gal of tractor gas and I was on my way. When I got back to my home field, much of the plane was covered in cow poop. I immediately headed for the wash rack. I got some strange looks from other pilots.

Post by: GGeezer on May 11, 2012, 06:04:08 PM: I was the "sanitation engineer" on my dad's dairy farm when I was a kid so I'm an expert on cow pies as we called them. But there was one thing I couldn't figure out. If you fed a cow 10# of hay and 10# of water, how come you got 10# of milk... and 30# of manure????

One day, I was flying my new Larry Scarinzi designed Lil Dynamite powered by my .15 greenhead Torp. when I delayed lifting off too long and ran smack into a steamer. The model came to a sudden stop mired in the pie with the engine spewing poop out the back and all over the model... what a mess! Those are the risks you take getting your "education out behind the barn".

Real cowboys are called wranglers back home and call cow "poop" cow "patties".

Gee, isn't he a NASCAR driver turned announcer, uh, with a more famous dad?
