how many people went to warbirds over wanaka? it was freakin sweeet...
the rc pilot was bloody amazing....i cant remember his name. Fraser someone from Hamilton i think lol. He flew a 42% scale extra 330. was freakin Mint.
anyways anyone else have any thoughts or favourites of the show?

Did you come along and have a go on the simulators in the model flying nz display meekle? I may have met you and not noticed lol

meekle · 03-23-2008, 05:48 PM

yeah it was briggs. he was sooooo damn good.

i didnt go into the show =( i sat in the free seats! my wife and i had just had a big weekend and didnt have enough money $$ to get in. $60 is quite steep. so we just sat on our car with beer and wine and had a great time lol.
i heard there was a model display tent and was gutted i couldnt go in =(
the show gave my wife a new love for the planes and now understands why i like them so much so hopefully she will let me spend more $$ to upgrade hehe

Alex, were you working at the tent for a bit? or just passing by lol? I didnt see ya there... LOL it was pretty funny, i had a go on the mode2 sim, and as its normal too me I was flying round happily, but had a go on mode1, I felt soooo Unco

Yup I was in the tent for a bit, but only for about half the time. I won't start a debate, but mode 2 felt right for me from the start too
