Default Hey Flying Giants, let's support Kenneth!!

Okay guys time to full on support our staff member Kenandannie (Kenneth). Kenneth is a pah-tern pilot. He's a D4 guy. I'm seeing showing up in force to his next match (meet,contest,,what ever they call it) in force and back him 100%!! Imagine rolling in wearing the colors with the mobile ground unit Giant TV casting the event! Imagine what 100 Flying Giants members could do! When was the last time bull horns, drums, trumpets and a cheering section showed up at a pattern contest?

Imagine the fun turning MadMax loose with an FG microphone on the judges. Pattern hooligans ROCK!! Silence as other pilots flew then MAYHEM as Kenneth rocked a badass sequence! We could even "lean" on Kenneth's judges! Hey pal,,wanna walk without a limp? SCORE KENNETH FAIRLY AND NO LIMP!!

Kenneth, we would just love helping you in the pits and lending our full support. I hear all the time that pattern needs some personality,, WELL HERE'S SOME!! 100 cheering screaming Flying Giants members helping you and showing support would certainly make the front page of K factor!!

Think of the fun we'd have at the Friday night cook out! Bring your lazer leveled NIST traceable 12 oz. cups, shotguns, four wheel drive trucks, fireworks, dirt bikes, pistols, moonshine, golf clubs, T Rex's, Spread Spectrum foamies (we can huck during sequences with no iinterference issues!) coon dogs, fighting chickens, blow up dolls, air horns, C4, hand grenades, Rebel flags, and 40% gassers.

I can just see it now, the 38 foot Flying Giants mobile with 50 plastic pink flamingos stuck in the ground and inflatable swimming pools! The first official pattern kegger!! YEEEHAAAW!!! " Hey Mr. contest director, what time does the flight line shut down for open flying?"

Let's hear your ideas about how we could all have a positive affect on straight lining lawn darts!
Next pilot up Kenneth,,,,,, KENNETH KENNETH KENNETH KENNETH KENNETH!!!!!
(Pattern is cool guys, just having some fun. WAY harder than it looks!)

Sounds great Biff, but I have a few questions.

(1) Does Kenny want us there?
(2) Would we be helping anyone by the distractions?
(3) Where is this?
(4) Are you sure you can spare the flamingos for this worthy cause?
(5) Why the 100 FG member limit?

Biff, don't forget about the Flying Giants Jam Band. Biff and Ynot taking turns on the durm kit, Texx with the bad-ass guitar playing, Biff on his yass flute. The we need the dancing girls, he Hooter ladies carrying round cards and don't forget the livestock.

Biff,

That would rock. Trust me, Ken needs all the help he can get. Just kidding bud. 1st contest june 3rd $ 4th. Grove City Ohio. Here is our website http://nsrcad4.com/ check it out. Everybody is more than welcome. Come if full force. Trust me, us pattern guys arn't as big of dorks as you think. We have been kicked out of places, and asked not to return to others. We know how to have fun. Have you guys ever had about twenty guys try to shoot down your plane with bottle rockets at night, when it is pitch black outside? OH Yeah, the place this happens at is on top of a mountain. So basically if you don't hit the 50 x 600 ft. runway, you can kiss you plane good by, no joke. If you have a set bring em! Ya body.

A mountain in Ohio?????? Sounds inflated to me. The only thing Biff missed is he really wanted to post that we needed Lazer controlled super double throw down cooler temp probes to keep the beer at 32.5 degrees!!! You know that is all so important at the pattern meets. Oh yeah set the alarms on the pocket palm media/ sat uplink handheld with a backup model memory of the primary bird with a version for the 5 blade prop/ flight sim to make sure we don't stay up past 8 pm so were fresh for the next day!!!!!! The contest doesn't even get going till 8 pm for the giants crowd.

Like Temptation said, the mountain thing is in Kentucky, at the finals, but the rest of the stuff...Have you snuck a peek in my transmitter case???? How did you know I carry my pocket palm media/sat uplink handheld with a backup model memory of the primary bird with a version for the 5 blade prop/flight sim to make sure we don't stay up past 8 PM so we're fresh for the next day????



I think I got that all right

Ken,

Don't let to many of our secrets out of the bag. C'mon man, we have spent so many years testing and logging data. So many people thing that mutiblade prop in the Tru-Turn adds is a fake. Yes, you got it boys, it's the real deal, us pattern dorks use that thing. The downline breaking can't be beat. It's the Vess prop for pattern. You see, Robert Vess has been secretly making props for us pattern dorks for years now. How do you think he learned to make the great props he is making for the big birds now.

Now that the prop deal is out of the bag, let's keep the rest of our little secrets under wraps. O.K. Ken!

I have 362 model programs for one of my pattern planes. Thank God for the JR Datasafe program and my super duper laptop. I have a program for every single mph of wind. Down wind programs, upwind programs, inverted, upright, knife edge, you name, I have it. Our callers carry those little wind meters, if the wind speed changes more than a 1/2 mph, I need to change the model program in my radio. That's what's nice about the 10X, you don't need to turn it off to change the model program. You have to be quick. You can only change model programs between maneauvers. This is why I have my failsafe programed to fly a perfect straight line. That way my pat-turn plane can maintain a straight line when changing models. What really sucks is when it's gusty out. Man, you really need a good caller. In fact, we don't even call them callers in pat-turn, we call them programers, or propeller heads.
