NW IMAC Competition Thread

[fun2fly3d]

Mike,

I have been very busy and NOT makiing any money. Not a good combo! (As you know from the polar bear it was snowing at the spring fair in puyallup) If I flew intermediate I would be lucky to take my plane home in one piece. Its all I can do to not put it into the ground on the 10th manuever. (Well not really but its not pretty!!) I hope to fly the Oly contest and most likely Mollala, and highly like the regionals. Sorry to hear about your midair but sounds like you have a sweet plane now.
I miss flying with you guys but I sure enjoy reading your posts on FG. I feel like I am almost involved.

Hey - Vince you are the ultimate sandbagger - you probably have that seq down cold. You have to get a new line of work so we can see you more often. All the best.

Good to hear from you Vince. I know how the lack of earning thing goes. Our business has really began to suffer, with gas prices so high, etc... and, sorry Vince, but I have to agree with Bruce. YOU ARE the ULTIMATE sandbagger. See you in Intermediate this year. I feel certain of this because you are not one to get left behind. If I were a bettin man, I'd say you already have the Sequence down, because the other part of you is, you like to win. The Python is way kool. I had a bad landing yesterday.... suprise... ha, anyway have a wing tip I need to repair, or better put, need to get Pops to repair. Minor scratch. I will try to fly it in IMAC this year after I get comfortable with it. You are part of this thread Pal. Just keep jumping in here when you get the time and share your thoughts with us. I look forward to flying with you soon Vince. Tell your brother hi for me too.

Desperate times called for desperate measures Mike... I'm consulting for HobbyTown and redeveloping the air department, which in trade goes for the Carden/Hangar 9 Yak, Evolution 58 w/cannister, 8611a x 6, two lipos, two regs, 3 switches, a bunch of extensions, engine standoffs, a new 9303 2.4gHz, and the signing away of my soul, but that is a small price to pay when we are talking airplanes.

On a brighter note GUESS WHO MAY BE COMING BACK TO THE NW????

[Rainman]

That's fantastic news! I am sure that is gonna be a sweeeeeet plane. I want one too. Sounds like things are good. Let's fly...

Mike, Bruce,

I would like a new line of work. One that pays well and I have the weekends off!! Any Ideas? As far as me flying Intermediate, thats not going to happen anytime soon!! If you two pro's are not winning every contest then I would not stand a chance! If you 2 duked it out for one and two I would be batting 9th. Besides I think Nick S. is flying pretty hot from what I have been reading. I still try to fly as much as I can but its not what I would like!(Of course not...I would fly everyday and night!!) I hope everyone is well.

"Sandbagger!" wow....thats cold..... hahaha Thats almost like calling a guy a carny!!! (Now thats really funny!)

Talk to you guys again soon!
Vince

[flynz4me]

The third switch is for the flux capacitor!! No it is for the power bus, one for the rx and another for the ignition. You know that dual redundancy thing that I think I have to have!!

I will Nick, I don't know that I'll make many more IMACs except the Oly, Molalla, and maybe Richland for the regionals if I can.

hey nick, its been goin pretty good, we have all been busy trying to fly. especially me. i gotta get you back this time. eh?. We just had a pattern contest up here this last weekend. so i didnt get much flying in. jerry went away to his cabin for the long weekend but he is probably back by now. I got some stuff up for sale on our site so i can get some money for the DA 100 im saving up for.(man my cap looks great sitting in the basement) atleast there it wont crash, hehe. I havent talked to russ in a while. he was supposed to come down to the judging seminar, but his truck broke down on him. im pretty sure he was driving a FORD at the time .

I hear your bringing up a new toy for jerry on our contest. I can probably hear darren crying. (dont worry darren, ill make sure jerry doesnt put your work of art at risk.)
