Frank, I told you that yak would fly 100% better with the FG vinyl. Always glad to lend a hand to fellow pilots and friends

Zak, Greg, Shawn, etc - thank you soooo much for playing with Max on Friday & Saturday!! It was nice to be able to visit with my sister and new baby niece without worrying about Max getting bored!

Pete, Brandon, Kiwi, & all at Bayside - it was nice to meet you all! Thanks for coming out and making us feel welcome! Keep up the great flying! Brandon, say Hi to your mom from me!

Here are some pics that I'd like to share ... see you all next time!

Dude, Zak, I had to rat you out. I have morals. Your pops thinks that yak is pristine as the day it was born, meanwhile, you're ripping off the 200 mph duct tape off the canopy while he's flying glow stuff at Bayside. Shame on you!

Hey, funny story though.. I've never met Mike before and we were chatting at Bayside. He was like - my son is over at the other field. I'm all like, who's your son. He's all like, Zak. I'm all like, I think I bought him a steak yesterday.. hehe pretty funny conversation from there..

Max:

Thanks for the visit to the Bay Area and for getting the weekend hall pass from Monica to come and play with us! Thanks Monica! That is TOTALLY hilarious how Zak got busted with his dad and the Yak! Usually, Mike gets pissed off at me when I egg Zak on to 'go lower'! For once, I'm innocent!

I may be heading down to OC soon, and will give you a ring in advance and hopefully bring a few planes.

Take care buddy

Greg

Default Re: MadMax in NorCal! W/Pics! ;)

Hey, with this job Max is on vacation 24-7---I am in major envy. Wasted vacation? WOW, Max had the opportunity to watch the most incredibly gifted set of thumbs on this entire planet--3Dkid330 in Fremont, CA. At only 14 years and Brandon can blow the elevators, ailerons and rudder off any anyone flying anything, anywhere! ---Flat out, PERIOD! Max can count himself blessed for the opportunity to watch such incredible talent as Brandon!!!!!

Sweet! Re: FlyingGiants NorCal Invasion - Thanks Crew!!

Max, your photos are absolutely superb! I wish I could take shots that looked that good. Thank you for taking the time to come to Bayside to meet and watch Brandon Kontorinis give a short demonstration of the immense talent that he possesses. A truly remarkable young man in many aspects, not just his flying skills, he has so many extraordinary facets that it would be difficult to catalog them all. How about your hooking Brandon up with some of the factory reps you have contact with? With such incredible talent like this I find it a shame that Brandon is not on the worlds' stage for all to see. He would be an enormous asset to any first-class manufacturer that wanted their product to be shown in the finest possible light. As an aside (I'm sure Brandon didn't say anything), but when you saw him fly, that was first time in over 2 months that he has flown---his plane incurred damage during a most remarkable save with a dead-stick landing after engine failure from carburetor problems---Repairs were completed just 2 days before your arrival. How many fliers do you come in contact with that could put on a show like you observed under those conditions? Pull out all the stops here for Brandon---He has a talent that is beyond worldly belief. Thank you again for your time---Alan Lynn (Just ONE of Brandons greatest admires and advocates and (I trust) friend to both Brandon and both of his marvelous parents)

Alan,

I don't even know what to say, but those are some of the most generous comments that I have ever been given! (don't even know if I deserve it!) How have you been? I'm going to try to get flying more during the summer to get ready for the 2007 GSVC and the Bayside Family Fun Day, so you can come out to Bayside again with my dad and I when we fly, should be fun especially now that we are getting some NICE weather.

Max, Monica,

I had an AWESOME time out at Bayside finally meeting you two and getting to fly again (Uzi was definitely fun), we'll have to get together again sometime! It would be great to make the Las Vegas event later on in the year. The pics you took came out great, thanks for taking those! (BTW-thanks for the FG vinyls as well, have to find an airplane to put them on now)

Here's some of the pics that my mom and dad took out, I'll post some more a little later.

Brandon
