How did it turn out Tony? Any damage? The exact same thing happened to me with my first Comp-Arf at the same field. Mine didn't turn out too good though. I was hovering right in the red zone and the fuse split in half.

How was the flying Dev? Did you fly till dark? Which one did you practice more the IMAC or the 3D?

Aron's flying is getting good 1000% improvement in the last few weeks - I think he could show us how it's done - try to talk him into making a contest schedule so he doesn't let his talent go to waste.

You flatter me... but your sportsman routine don't look half bad at all -

Snap A Saurus Bad Ass ! You're having way too much fun with that new airplane !! Now just keep up with your chores and your hair-do so your wife will let you come out to play !! Or send her on a cruise or a spa treatment on those certain weekends you want to make it to events.

Keep practicing buddy - make a good show on your sportsman debut.

Rainman - thanks for your well thought out advice as always. I sure am taking several factors into consideration while I stare at the headlights. Cya soon hopefully.

Does anyone know where I sign up for the Basic competition at Tucson ? I'm there !!

From what I saw and talked with Tom there was a broken prop, spinner, cowl looks cracked in a few spots, certainly flyable, and one wheel pant was damaged (The Carden is sporting the LL Cool J look now )

My flying was weak to say the least I hadn't eaten since 4am and didn't bring water (Thanks Aron for letting me drink alllll your water ) . I'm still finding the precision flaws with my setup, one is that on full throttle uplines my plane pulls to the canopy and I'm barreling on the 3/4 roll upline on the humpty. We need to commutatively put some setup into this plane if you are down for it... Course then I might beat you Yeahhhhhhh right.

Aron's going to have to practice a whole lot more if he's thinking he's going to beat me. I guess we all need to dream.
