Gurley - Since I'm at my computer right now, I'll answer this for Jay. It's an Insane Foamies Yak that Jay painted to match his SD.

BTW - I had the DA100 mufflers you need with me at Morehead City and Gurleyman was a no-show! You were out wadding-up other people's stuff, I see. The circus is advising that I invoke the "no beach no muffler" rule and leave you hanging since you wouldn't join us last Saturday. Where's the love, dude?

Saw The Man-Nanny and Kelly in a cpl pics from Warbirds over Delaware over on rcu.
Yeah, Kelly called me yesterday and said that the NC boys were on it up there! They apparently burned a bunch of gas and just stayed in the air. The circus warbird contingent.......yeah!

I know I know Robert,, , You guys will be proud to know that I helped at the club the whole day Saturday with our First A.M.A TAG PROGRAM,, we taught 25 students,, 1hour groundschool, 1hr Simulator Time, and then real trainer/buddy box flying for 3 hours,, we picked up four new club members and signed up 12 new AMA members,, I got my picture on the front page of the paper,, , then there is the carnage pics of the 40%er that I put on a demo with, the engine cut off in a Inverted Harrier across the field , , I did a LOW rolling harrier, LOW torque roll, and then the inverted harrier, I had been flying it for about 7 minutes, , but hucked it hard, but I am a lucky lucky man, , the only damage was some small quarter size dents in the leading edge, ,they are already fixed, the plane hit the top of two trees about 40mph and fell all the way through and then landed(thank god) in a brush/briar bed,, , so here is the pics, the first pic is the walk of shame,, and then on, I couldn't believe it wasn't destroyed, when it hit the trees it sounded like it exploded,, then you could here it falling through,, ,, it was a terrible sound, the circus I hope could give me some exemption just this time since I was helpling kids and some new adults get into the hobby,,

Seems like NC is the place to be. And think I almost moved up there.

Vess, I'm already seeing a performance gain from your prop, I have not flown the plane yet but the prop is 4.6 oz lighter than the Mejzlik 26x10 I had on there

Larry you can see Andy T. with me in the walk of shame,, call him,,and verify,, LOL I can assure you it was this weekend, , I hated I didn't have the DA,, and sort of planned on going till Friday night, and our club president Jimmy called me and said they needed someone to run one of the buddy boxes and help with the flying, so I went, out of the 25 people there were 13 kids ages 7-14 years old,, and they had a blast,, I was give slam out, especially after getting that dang 42 lbs beast of a edge out of the woods,,, but all in all it was worth it, and the good thing about it, 4 of the kids and parents came back out Sunday,, and trained somemore,, and check this out, this should REALLY GET ME BACK IN MEMBERSHIP STATUS TO THE CIRCUS, when we were finished everyone asked what is a good thing to take the kids to get more into all aspects of the hobby,,, first we told them our JULY21 flyin, and then, we gave them your website and told them to get the directions for the FLY FOR TOTS< ,,, ,,, , (I am racking up good browny/save points now,),,ahhahhah but really it was a great idea

Nick - Like Jay saud, we should be all over New River Aug. 25.

Hey, we expected to see at least some of you guys in Newport on Saturday. Did the bird shot scare you away or something? The nuckle-head never bothered us.

Yea I like my plane to much without holes in it. I figured it would go off without a hitch up there, but just didn't want to risk it. Its only a matter of time before someone gets hurt or looses a bunch of money at that field because of it's neighbors...

I am all most ready to add a new animal to the Huck Master Big Top Circus Tent. I took one of the planes from Snow Whites plane hanger, and thought that I would get her ready for the rest of the summer season. This thing should be a beast. There is a brand new O.S. 55 with a pipe going on the front. Here are some shoots of the progress.
