Mark started his engine with one flip and took to the air! The funny thing is that this is the second time he's done that. Sorry Mark, this was just too good.

Actually what was "just too good" in addition to my absent minded-ness;
was exposing the fact that the Smart Fly's bright-@ss RED Rudolf light - positioned so whomever is holding the plane, can see that the kill switch is activated.
Kenn has been holding this plane for a year come June!

Man, my arm is still hurting today too from all that flippin !
I'm needing some Icy-Hot.

(you kicked the slipping dog dude- )

Results below and award accepted! Hope you get it fixed soon Monty. By the way... that is one of two planes he put in while he visited! Both because of dead stick. What engines did you say you rely on Monty? Attachment 106669 Attachment 106670

Dale, Good Job on staying on top of the Aunt Jemima Awards Presentation, keeping the FFAA Tradition alive!
Congrats Monty!

Please tell me you didn't ding up your "new" Extra and that it was only your "old semi-reliable" composite ARF Extra.

You were supposed to check out the field.....not do core samples of the runway.

Good news. Red Aero RC will unveil it's New 33% IMAC-Style Pilot Figures at the Triple Creek FFAA Event . These new Mega Pilots are almost almost identical to the larger 40% Pilot, only smaller. Actually, I think he's better looking. The lucky winners at TC3D will be the first to receive these great-looking pilots as part of our sponsorship with FFAA. Next, we have a 50% IMAC-Style in the works.
