Re: Ultra Light 55% Extra 260
I had a good time Saturday after making the best of it with the mishaps. I'm am sorry Greg that your plane got damaged. I wish I could have done more than just yell at you "Greg watch out" at the top of my lungs while I was holding the 55%er w/ Bob.
Dean stood up and put himself in harms way to protect Greg's plane and Greg himself as did the pilot station worker by pulling Greg out of the way. Same about the radio flying across the field but it could have been much worse. The pilot seemed truely sorry and has stepped up to make it right w/ Greg. Watching Mike ring out his Yak, and it was nice visiting w/ Dean and Kevin, Russ and your dad and family. We will see you guy in a couple of weeks. Dan |

Re: Ultra Light 55% Extra 260
I too had a great time hanging out with everyone and flying and cutting up. Also glad that Gregs weekend wasnt worse....could have been if not for Dean and that line boss. I gotta say, every event I have been too seemed to have only 1 maybe 2 line boss's, at the ROG at Bomber field there was one at every pilot station and I think that was the difference and the Holy Grail for Greg not getting a prop in the back.
The only other thing I want to say is.......why cant more people learn to use the RUDDER.? Every one except Byron had some sort of trouble, Bob broke his tail gear and didnt fly again, of course Gregs mishap, Byron didnt fly, and I had my cowl ring come apart and misaligned itself after a close dirt nap from a full power blender, recovered it only about 15' from the ground, needless to say I tightend up on that one....lol all though we only got to fly 3D style for 15 min at a time, those were very exciting 15min flights to say the least. Cant wait till the next flight..... |

Re: Ultra Light 55% Extra 260
Thanks for the kind words all. I hope this is a good lesson for us all to learn you never know what can happen on the flight lines at these events. I hope BB Webber will put up net's in front of the pilot stations for future safety. I also have to agree with Mike about learning what your left thumb is for not just the throttle but also the rudder.But all is good and I am sure Bob will work his majic on the 40% and I be back in the air soon.
(Poor Russ And holy smokes my head got charred, but a small price to pay for hanging with the best!) Russ I told you your mellon was roasted and you SAID it's just from being under my red Snap On easy up. I guess I got the last laugh huh. and it was cool you came down to hang out with us all. |

Re: Ultra Light 55% Extra 260
Sorry to hear of the accident.At least nobody was hurt. I have never thought about the red,gold ,and black colors together with that scheme. It really looks good. Hopefully the damage can be fixed quickly for you. I hate having to fix a wrecked plane during flying season. Scott
