Title: ** Perky - Fire! Fire! Fire! **
Post by: Paul Stein on February 14, 2010, 12:48:16 AM
Hi Chaps,

CLAMF Aerosports competition today (Sunday) with Combined and Perky Speed, Navy Carrier and Mini-Goodyear.

Andrew Nugent was very unfortunate to have his beautifully turned-out Perky catch fire... and did not even manage one flight after being extensively refurbished... a sad loss for the Perky brotherhood....

Cheers,

Paul

Andrew is a chef by occupation. He would not be happy with today's burnt offerings. S?P

Andrews answer is, "I guess it was my fault as I primed the thing with the battery connected. We learn the hard way".

That is sad to see.  But, I know he will probably have it ready to go in short time.  This is one of the reason a long gone scale racer in our fraternity always had a fire extingisher in his pit.  Gerry  "The Who" Meyer is still missed.

Yes we miss "the Who" a lot.
