That's a real nice camera, Chris. Great work.

Cleveland's dance cracked me up, too.

Here are a few pictures I took at the Clover Creek event. You might see some folks you know. I included some shots of Jeremy, my son, and his friend from Louisanna, Jonas Pharr. Also is a shot of QQ's Python before it was planted is his freestyle flight and two shots of Sheth's one wing landing.

Yeah -- I'm back... No, you didn't scare me off -- i had a bit of a financial disaster I had to deal with, but i think things are back under control now.

Anyways -- that gave me some time to think about things. I've decided I want 3 planes. And that means I need to part with one, Anybody want the F-18 I painted up? I'll let it go w/ the battery and charger for 70.00 -- add your own radio -- if you need a radio let me know and i've got an extra that needs a home (FM channel 38).

And, if anybody has a 40-60 size 3D plane they'd care to part with i'm all about some of that, too! Not too picky b/t glow/gas/electric these days. I'm also tossing floats on my stick 25e and I think i've got my Mini Ultra Stick about as fast as It'll go before the wing buckles, but i'm going to let chris put his 'magic touch' on it and see if it'll run with an outlaw

Any suggestions are appreciated -- and unfortunately I probably will miss the fly for tots, but Chris -- if you need help editing the video (or you need distributed computing power to do the compression/etc) let me know and I'll hook you up.

-Rob

Nice photos of what looked like a great event at an awesome site, Jerry.

Are you, Jeremy, and a bunch of other F'ville guys coming up to the Fly-for-Tots in a couple of weeks? We love having you here!

Hey Robert, yes I plan on being at Fly 4 Tots, not sure if coming on Friday or early Sat morning. Hope to have some other club members there also.

Looking forward to it but Jeremy will not be there this year, you know that work thing gets in the way sometimes.

Jerry

Hey Guys,

I just want to say that I had to cuss out my club pres. today. I got alittle more flying in on the Yak. I am still trying to get it dialed in. But, I was holding Mr. Top Gun's outlaw for him to crank it up and next thing I know I get a transmitter in my face. Well funny thing was I was going to ask if I could get alittle stick time in. Well I got it and man I gotta say, I AM IMPRESSED! I know you guys already know about these outlaws but man that thing handles great! That would be the reason why I had to cuss him out because now I guess I gotta get one!

I had one before, it was nothing like this one though! The one I had I got disoriented quickly! It did not fly half as fast and would not glide half as far!!

So like I said you David, now I gotta get one!!!!
