Default Puerto Rico visits Florida

Here are some pics from last weekend with Wilson Chaparro and Luis from Puerto Rico. Wilson flew over to test fly his new plane and get it all trimmed out. We meet up with Bryan Lucket and Ivan Gutierez9 sorry about the spelling Ivan, Im sure its wrong). It was alot of fun and we had the whole field to ourself.
The first picture im not sure what Wilson is looking at but I dont think I will be splitting any hotel rooms with him.

Badass! Re: Peurto Rico visits Florida

Hey Tony, nice pics. This past weekend was my first experience visiting and flying with the masters. Have to tell you that I appreciate all you did and all the time you spent with Wilson and me.

The weekend was awesome and now I know the kind of discipline that the pro's are conducting.

Thank you very much and hope to see you again and pass some days like those in Florida and Puerto Rico.

Luis

PD, Nice avatar and I'm working with the .......

Me and Mike were both flying at the same time. He was in a low harrier I think and the motor quit. I think it just bent the gear. Funny thing is he says I think I ran out of gas. I start thinking to myself that I must be low because I went up before him. I circle around and just as I get it pointed at the runway the motor quits. We have a 8 foot berm at the end of our runway. I came up short and landed in some tall grass on the other side of the berm. I had no sight of the plane the last 6 feet or so. I ended up breaking the carbon gear that was already damaged from when the plane was shipped to Joe Nall and busted the exhaust tubes on my cannisters. I also was borrowing Mikes Mejlik prop and broke that as well. I got an aluminum gear on it today and just need to get some cannisters and its ready to go. I need to learn to set a timer. Just haveing too much fun.
