John Paris and I have been flying our Slobs for about 4 years now. I think the flight in this video is the coolest we've ever done and it could be the best Slob flight ever.

Here is the link:

Thank you Dennis.
Thank you Paul.
Grace shot the video.
The flight wouldn't have been so cool if John hadn't been there to do the catching.

Wow,
Does John juggle chainsaws too?

Over on SSW, the gauntlet has been thrown down (along with the saftey thong!). Let's have a video Bi-Slob contest. Submit your best Bi-Slob video to YouTube, and we can have an Internet Poll. No rules---just impress us!

. Ok maybe one rule--any lost digits

from an aborted catch will disqualify the flight.
I'd say let's have a cutoff date of June 11 (this year--2008).

Have to extricate the Slob from the attic---if I can peel it away from the congealed castor sticking it the the plywood floor.

I just looked at SSW Alan.
Thanks for helping Terry understand.
Also---I figure till someone produces video it's all hearsay.

Oooo...it's on!

haha, I gotta brush up on my Slob skills. It hasn't been windy enough to break it out.
We are shooting to fly this Saturday. So I might get a video out soon after that.

Alan Hahn · « **Reply #8 on:** May 12, 2008, 08:31:58 PM »

Almost thinking that we need a Slobbin Category on this site!

Also thinking that we might want a few rules

for the contest.
1) 2 lines only (no tail line or throttle control)
2) Maybe something about not endangering launchers. I could imagine that might get out of hand ...like touching the tail skid on the nose of the launcher lying on his back......

Need to look for my all castor fuel.

I guess I will have to brush up on my video shooting skills.

I finally have enough good Slob video to do a new DVD.

My next attempt will be to fly the Slob sitting in my truck. Then blind folded.

And I want to see it when you roll up the windows!

Jim can you get some Slob video posted?

Elwyn Aud · « **Reply #15 on:** May 14, 2008, 10:36:42 PM »

Here's a little snippet from VSC 16.

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #16 on:** May 15, 2008, 07:31:29 AM »

Cool video Elwyn,
I am almost sure that is the Red Bi-Slob that Marvin gave to Ryan last year. I will try and capture some more footage this weekend with Ryan pulling the lines on this plane.

Stay tuned.....

Here's Alan Hahn's Bi-Slob after yesterday's Fermilab Barnstormer meeting.

The great James Lee and the even greater Marvin Denny aka bigiron. I remember them doing something similar at the first Tulsa contest I attented. The site had sand burrs that I was still pulling out of shoes 2 weeks after the contest. DOC Holliday

Jim, Marvin and Alan all do a fine job of flying the Slob. But, I still have some tricks you ain't seen.
Soon I'll get Grace to shoot some more video.

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #20 on:** May 19, 2008, 06:53:51 AM »

OK the flying was much better then the guy behind the video camera. I had some fuel spots on the lens and the subject is fuzzy at times.
I need to pull back on the zoom I think next time.
Anyway here is Ryan flying the Bi-Slob that Marvin Denny gave him last year at Brodaks.

Thanks for the video Paul. I see Ryan has the hang of Slobbin'.

oh yeah!

John Paris · « **Reply #22 on:** May 19, 2008, 07:17:44 PM »

Paul,
You need to let the boy give you the handle and you give him the camera. I know that I will be handing the handle to Grace one day soon and I am sure that I may need to build another so that I can fly again....Good job Ryan. You need to balance your insides with your outsides so that the lines don't get too stiff. Those things are hard enough to fly level with uncrossed lines.
John

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #23 on:** May 19, 2008, 07:27:10 PM »

Hey John,
Yup... I told Ryan he is going to have to teach me how to fly that thing. It looks like too much fun!
