Re: [RDRC] The BEST R/C Flying day, ever!

You must be looking at one of those OUT OF STATE weather stations. Last night, Greg Fishel told ALL modelers who fly AND RIDE, they should hit the flying field TODAY, then RIDE on SUNDAY! Of course, he was only speaking to those who STILL LIKE MOTORCYCLES!

AWESOME day at RDRC. Lot of great flying, and we all got to watch Robert maiden the ALL NEW Obama ride! I hope someone got pictures.

The BEST R/C Flying day, ever!

The weather reports on all channels of the TV said tomorrow would most
likely be the best RC Airplane flying day on record, EVER, and that
folks involved in the hobby of flying R/C Aircraft had better take
advantage of it :-)

I'm pretty sure that's what I heard... I could be wrong, but I think

Larry,

Don't know where you are getting your batteries, but you can get Zippy packs for about $25. I have a whole slew of them and have nothing but good things to say about them.

I don't see how you can puff those. We fly a LONG time on a charge since the static current draw is less than 10c with the stock prop. A fixed number of laps can keep the capacity used to a safe level for the packs.

Just read your latest post Larry. Just a few commentsand thoughts. I occasionally have thoughts. I'm game for whatever combo is chosen. Anyway, my thoughts. Several clubs in NC are using AMA 424 racers with a 25 size engine and APC prop. This would allow anyone to continue racing if they found they enjoyed it and wanted to compete with other clubs, etc.

All of the details for the electric class will probably be worked out by the time I'm ready (need a bit of stick time under my belt). However, I will probably jump on a kit well before I can actually fly it.

I was hoping to maiden the electric this weekend, but I'm caught up in the holiday stuff so it may get delayed a week. It's a really neat design.

Got these photos from my retired Marine brother who is an engineer at Pax River for the F-18 Hornetï¿½

The Joint Strike Fighter is finally here...

F-35 BF-1 left Dobbins AFB in Marietta, Ga., at 11:34 a.m. eastern standard time Sunday, Nov. 15, and arrived at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., at 12:46 EST. Jon Beesley was the pilot.

Well,,,maybe I don't remember which pylon is #2 !!!
Those URGE's really are a great flying foamy. I need to get another one going soon. My current NEW one looks pretty rough after that motor departure! lol Amazing how much foam disappeared in in that APC prop in just one second! LOL

Good points John.

I'm not quite sold on the "Fly Anything" plane though. We do have a lot of the quicky 500 planes in the club still. In fact, I still have a Nelson equipped Viper RTF stitting on the shelf. As does Robert, and two or three Jett 46 powered Vipers are still flown by other members on occasion.. Not that I would even bring mine out to race with, but I wouldn't want any of the others to either. Like one person has already said, it's just not fun when you're so much faster than everyone else,and pilot skill contributes little. I'm just not going to watch some guy with a Viper blow my doors off when Im flying a Sig Razzle! No matter how good a line I fly, Im toasted! Also, I wouldn't want folks heavily modifying other planes to speed them up. Hey,,, who says you cant get a trainer to haul butt? But when they do these modifications, who will check to see they are structurally sound? Most trainer type planes are not designed to take heavy G loads in turns.

Right! "Robert and I are out of practice" is an Oxymoron. BTW any control
mistakes made with my new "Urge" would be my error, it flies better than a
T-28 even in the wind.nice job!

In a club, long, long ago, we raced 40 sized racing planes. They were
designed and kitted by a club member with extraordinary skills and stupid
extra time on his hands. We each built our planes and threw on the same

I've seen Larry and Robert fly two pole before. They are good, but can be taken.

It already has the thumbs up! But like I was saying. You electric guru's would have to set the motor restrictions on that. In talking with Chris, it would be VERY easy for some to build rockets that were not visible detectable! lol
