Default Joe Nall 1994

Hello,

I can't believe its been this many years going to Joe Nall. Our first was 1994 and brother it was model airplane heaven. We brought our new releases 35% Extra 300s with a G62 in it(Yes it was a dog but we couldnt get a motor in time so I stuck it in and flew great except on some uplines) 90" Super Chipmunk and the 84" Interceptor that we hand launched a few times during the week.

In closing Mr. Hartness has given back to us ten fold and I wanted share a public thanks for his generousity. See you guys next month..

Take Care

John

Nice John! The photo appears to be Saturday judging from the paths worn into the grass. That's Pat's front yard! For those of you who didn't go to the Nall at when it was at Pat's house, you wouldn't BELIEVE the comments about moving to Triple Tree! "It will lose the magic!" "It can never be moved, it would suck!" "Why do you guys want to move it from the place that made it famous?"

The first year it was at Triple Tree, it wasn't what it is today!! Bare spots in the grass, no hangar, no buildings,,,it was pretty spartan. Wait til you see what's been done for this year!! Subtle changes looking from the gazebo. But take a walk South,,, BIG changes to the runway! We're getting ready to host some pretty big full scale stuff,,,,, 6,000 feet of straight runway and a straight approach for sea planes! In true Triple Tree fashion it will be monster!! Not slowing down on models, just bringing in the big boys for a sepperate fly in. 6,000 feet can handle B-17's,,,, should be a hoot!

Hello,

Yes your right Biff. Do you remember us hand launching our Interceptor and freaking the crowd out. Hand launching an 84" plane was unheard of. But with a Supertigre 3000 with a tuned pipe was the ticket. Also I sent you a PM on the golfing etc. Let me know on that.

Later

Hello,

Thats cool. With the facility setup like it is. Its a perfect setup for full scale. I just have to sell enough kits to buy a Cessna Caravan to haul a few 42%'s and flyin there in 3 hours versus an 11 hour drive.
