So Bob, aerotech, you have now offically brought something special to people on the other side of the world!

I'm begining to wonder if the boat wouldn't have been quicker . Glad you finaly got it! Keep us posted on progress. Also, PM me your email again, I've got something I need to send you.

Hey Jason we should have ours done in a few months. When its finished you can have a run at the sticks any time.

Was there no video of the 55's at the Nall?? Haven't seen any yet......

I think James from Spirit video has some footage of it. I think he will have it on the Nall video once done.

WOW....what a hell of a good time Nall was. Triple Tree is an absolutely beautiful place, never seen anything like it and likely never will.
Kevin, Matt and the whole Aerotec family were just awesome to hang with, they/we all fit right in cuttin up and joking around, serious good times, oh and that homemade wine is scary......
The slick 540 is an awesome plane and it would be THE ULTIMATE with a new 120 in it for sure. The 55%ers flew superb all week of course, did you really think they wouldnt.
Craven, yo punk ass couldnt be found, i walked all over that place friday night after the BBQ and noone knew where you were, when I called you to herrass you, we were allready headed to the hotel....oh well maybe next time we can raise some hell together.
Other than the drive home, it was an awesome week and I hope to be there again next year in an RV with family in tow.

Mike!!!! I had a blast with you guys as well! Kevin and I have decided that the Texas portion of our Aerotech family needs to get with us atleast a couple of times per year! You guys are so much fun! Give Melanie a holler and let her know what other swag you guys need and she'll get you handled!

Jason has it right, it looks like a foamy the way it floats around.....watching both you and him wring it out last week was cool.

I am glad you brought it to Nall to show off.

Hell yeah we do. Maybe a trip down here, then up there or whatever. I"ll say it again, thanks for the good times guys and the hospitality. Can't wait to get started on my 55%er and get in the air. And then there is next year a Nall also to look forward too!

Finally, after what feels like forever, I have this kit in my hands!
I had a quick look through everything and gotta say wow! The quality of the components is fantasic! I didn't know the foam could be cut so smooth, the glass work is outta this world, and the quality of the wood is awesome!

I had a quick look at the plans, holy moly, there huge! The wife thought I was re carpeting the house!

The only problem is, now I'm off to Italy next week and am so busy that I won't start it till i get back!

will post take some pics after work!

YEAH!!!! BAM BAM got his kit!!!!!

Andrew, we are so glad to hear that it got to you in such good condition! That is a weight off of my wife's shoulders for sure! Now.... GET TO BUILDIN'!!!!!!!!

Matt

I managed to sqeeze a few hours in so made a start!
Am nearly done with the motor box.
I gotta say it felt so good to be building! Turns out that doing it at work is handy as i have good access to everything and plenty of room!

Sorry, can't figure out how to upload pics from the iPhone.

Bam Bam, You'll have to start a build thread. Box to 1st flight. This is what a build thread should be. Not bolting together an ARF. I'll get flamed for that one,but wont be the first or last time. We enjoy watching fellow builders work and always pick things up along the way. And this one here is a lot of building to watch. I can rest while you build!!!

Congrads on the new plane Bam. post pics when you get a chance.
