Cool Finally saw a 40% close up

I am not a plane guy but I some interest in seeing one close up. Colonel Klank brought the beast out

Looked big enough to ride in once it was together and screaming loud with the "break-in" prop. Looking forward to seeing him "bring it" now that it is broken in and is getting a new prop!

I managed to break the belt on my new 90 sized electric helicopter but I autoed it in down at the end of the runway so the "Heli Gods" smiled on me. A rarity for sure! We Freaks also showed the Colonel his Blade CP would fly inverted if you REALLY want it too

It was a good time at the field and looking forward to meeting more of the FG boys next week for our club fly in. We have to get you guys and the HeiFreaks crew together for an event since we all seem to know how to have a good time.

Oh Pat this is the video I wanted you to watch from out trip to B-Ham last week... ALL HELICOPTERS.... YEAH BABY!

He actually takes it easy at Fort Lee. But we're flying at Big Jerry's in Ashland today. The noise police actually insist on you cranking the volume. You'll prolly hear the ripppppp all the way in SC.

You know how you plane guys flip up and hover with the blades towards the sky and it is kind of difficult to control. We fly like that all the time

I should be switching to a 32 X 12 this afternoon and will take a sound pressure reading. It is 104db now! (Biffy would puke)

Tom Lewis and Debian Dog both wrung out my CP Pro yesterday in fine style.

(Dan, I have your Tx strap)

Now, it's off to Big Jerry's Airport for the day. (site of the 1st annual IMAC Butcherfest)

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

The Biela "Panty Ripper" prop has been taken off and replaced with Jamie's Mejzlik which is much quieter and pulls a ton more. The Blimp is sleeping at Big Jerry's airport until Wednesday, when we do it all over again.
Thanks Jerry, Kent, Jamie!

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking Sterno.
