I can't say that I'm having more fun, after all... it's foam . But now that I have a new puter, I have an indoor practice facility at my fingertips. I've been through the sequence a few times, but nothing for real. When I get into a real small gym (like Toledo) we'll see just what I hit . The past couple years I've never given it my full attention, so I figured I'd try it this year. Although I still have a Pattern and Pylon contest before I get there, we'll see what I lose (performance wise). Andrew's bipe was feeling real locked in at E-Fest (even though I decided to fly it when we got there) and I think with some practice and set-up with it, who knows what will happen. All I know is the sequence is memorized and music is mixed...

Time to go fly for real, F3A and 2.4 are calling my name.

Hey Jason S.
Why don't you show off your real talents and bring back the Guppie plane that you flew in the first ETOC. You could modify it maybe add some extra dorsel fins, or gills that come out on the down lines to slow it down. LOL!

Hi´
I hope I can bring same Sharks with me. The realy look happy and fun, and I smile everytime I fly them. Its posible to mount a center located VPP motor betwin the wings.
I use that for Shows i Sweden but not at the ETOC ( I think?!)

I had a nice meeting with Thunder Tiger Scandinavia today, - by a ticket, the told me! Nice company.........

And do as Pat Hartness, MCkinney and Myself spoke along time ago at the old flying site before Triple Tree. Give the pilots all Futaba Conquest with daul rates.

Well I decided not to hold out on you guys after all here is my ETOC plane.

It’s a little on the heavy side at 11.5 ounces but it does have allot of wing area. I think on the next one ill cut down on the glue, kicker, and fishing line used.
