Heck yes Shaun!!!

We need to get this going!! No sweat on hijacking the thread, I'm all about getting out the info!!

I'll be posting some pics and downloading a couple of videos of todays events. We had a ball, but, didn't utilize the Hondo field, there wasn't anybody there, but we made contact with a buddy of ours that flies at the Castroville field and went there instead. Nice facility, the strip is a little short for the Pattern planes, but with a little throttle management, no problems were had!! I had a little idle problem with my Yak, but all I had to do was kill the motor and it landed just fine.

My profile was a blast, had all kinds of fun but no video, I never thought to ask one of the guys to shoot the vid while I was flying...no really, I really did fly

Pics and video link to follow.

Hey Shaun, lets get a thread going on a Texas Fly-In, I'm with you on this, we'll make it happen!!!

Yes, my fellow FG'ers...I'm calling out DennisC to a flying challenge!!! Mister Dennis, you may pick the style, Foamies, Profiles, Pattern, IMAC, Scale, Giant Scale 3D, whichever you chose!!!

We will do this whenever you chose, assuming a venue and time can be agreed upon. I have a full contest season ahead of me, but would be extremely willing to make time for this challenge.

What do you say, ol' buddy??????? Let's get it on!!!!!!!

Okay,

Here are a few pics from yesterday at the Castroville field. None of me, but the profile and the Yak are mine, I'm shooting pics while Arch Stafford is flying.

There is also a couple of Paul Futey and his Adrenaline that he flew in Pattern last year.

Let's git 'er dun!!!

Pick your style, bro!!! Shall we fly precision or shall we put together a freestyle?

Let's forget the "who can hover the longest" stuff, that doesn't prove flying ability

I say we get together and fly the IMAC Basic sequence with judges. I've never flown the sequence so it should make it interesting.

Ok,

Profiles and freestyle for one, then we do profiles and a sequence, tone down the rates and fly the Basic sequence. We can have judges for both, freestyle to music

No judges??? How are we going to know who won? And don't come back with,"You'll know I kicked your arse"

No music? Does that mean we'll just go out and slam the planes around? Shoot Dennis, that ain't flying
