Default Re: Fly'n with the Circus. RDRC's traveling Circus

Well the weather looks like it is going to start being nice this weekend, and there is lots of flying to do. I just got my smoke system back int he Ultimate, so we will see how well that works this time. I have a few projects on the table, or should I say going to be on the table once I move the table to another room. I have a HET Super Sniper EDF jet I am hoping to break the 130 mph mark and I have a 1/4 DR1 kit to build, plus a 80" giantscaleplanes.com Sukoui to finish up, just waiting for the motorand some servos to come in. So this year is looking good so far. I am hoping to try and make a few circus trips this year to.

See you guys at the field.

I had a few minutes to spare at work to Larry, haha.

I certainly haven't given up on the circus or its' thread! ON the contrary, I've been dying to get on with something other than work. It's been a busy time for me. But the light at the end of the tunnel is visible.

50% - your Giles looks great.

Zort - it sounds like there are a bunch of cool new projects in the works.

MoFoley - We're in for some indoor flying.

Josh/Kent - We'll at least come by to check out the "lining".

And, we will be rolling to F-ville in two weeks.

The circus is just waking up from winter hibernation.

It's on, boys!

Friday night April 3rd from 6:00pm until whenever, I am hosting a indoor gathering at the fellowship hall of Rosemary United Methodist Church in Roanoke Rapids. The location is not huge....about half the size of a high school gym, but it does have about 40 foot ceilings. I think we can all have some fun without too many midairs! No entry fee.....no frequency control....just come and fly.

Jeff
Awesome!!! We'll be there Jeff. I just ordered all the stuff to build an electric indoor Euro Fighter, and I always have the Vapor and lil Yak.

All the Checkers and spikes are handcut additions to the stock scheme. Power will be a DA 85. All that I need to do on it, at this point, is make a new firewall, install the HS 7955 servos, and I need to buy a wingtube, wheels, axels, servo arms, and a spinner.(maybe some vinyl)

Chris
Look'n good Fitty! Sure is nice to see you in here again.
Hmm,,,,,you gonna be a need'n a much bigger Vess Prop now, than the ones on your hub caps!

Jeff, we will ne there I got a new toy to fly just about done.

Robert, when you start on the raptor make sure you got a good pair of glasses and the smallest tweezer you can find. Man that thing is small.
