DO RAG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man,,,the LAST thing you need to do is feel guilty or pass up winning something!
There's not one person anywhere that wouldnt want to be on the streak youre on man!

In fact,,,,most of these people dont realize how much you spend on tickets. I know for a fact you dropped huge chunk of change on the FFT event. You just keep on do'n what yer do'n Do.

So it's settled. WE NEED TO BUY MORE TICKETS!

I think that Larry brings up a good point. Nelson has better odds than myself and others in these raffles because he traditionally buys more tickets than most others. It should be said that he does this out of the goodness of his heart to help whatever club he is at, not just to win stuff. I also saw him at ECRC selling a plane to a father/son team who have recently crashed a plane, Do-rag was making them a good deal to help them out. He told me "I know I could sell this for almost double what I am selling it to them for, but that isn't what this hobby is about to me". I think his "always helping out attitude" is being rewarded by the man upstairs, but that is just my opinion.

Well said Wess. Do-Rag is nothing short of a class act guy. Thats why we love the boy like we do. I hope many more of us ( including myself) can be more like him in the future. Well,,,,,,,except for wearing those crazy shirts he picks out!!! LOLOLOL Hard on the eyes!!!!!!! LOLOLOL

MY BIG OLE BUTT!!!!
If you DO win it, youre gonna bind that rascal to your radio and join us in a combat meet!!!!! LOLOL

I just had a another idea if I were to win the T-28 this weekend instead of redrawing for the plane we could have a short silent auction for the plane and that money could be added to the money for the Victory Junction Gang. Either way if I were to win it this weekend I will let the RDRC members decide which option to take.
Dude, I agree with everyone else, don't feel bad at all, we are just jealous and know we can give you a hard time about it. Every event I have seen you win something, I have also seen you helping out. I know your odds are better than many because you are contributing to the club and buying more tickets. It's ok, have fun !

I'M SURE NELSON HAS PUT IN ENOUGH MONEY OVER THE YEARS TO PAY FOR WHAT HE HAS WON.HE TOLD MY WIFE SAT. HE SPENDS ALOT BUT IS ALSO PREPARED NOT TO WIN. HE SPENDS THAT MONEY BECAUSE HE WANTS TO AND HE SUPPORTS EVERY CLUB AROUND . I FOR ONE AM NOT MAD AT HIM. HE IS THE ONLY ONE IN MY AREA I CAN CALLUP TO GO FLY WITH. I AM GLAD FOR HIM AND THE ENGINE COULDNT HAVE GONE TO A NICER GUY. I ALSO ENJOY PICKING ON HIM THOUGH.

Ok,,,seems I started all this mumbo jumbo talk about raffles, so I need to end it!
Lets focus on something REALLY important!


RDRC Big Bird Fly IN


So far it looks like the weather man is FINALLY going to give Joshbunn.com a break!!! Lord knows he deserves it. Temps are looking to be in the lower 60's with some clouds. No sweating your butt off, and no bright glare in your eyes for the early morning flights!
Hope everyone makes it out for this one.
We're really hoping for a big turn out from RDRC members as well. We have a LOT of big bird flyers in our club, and hope to see you support this event Saturday.
We want to see every type plane represented at this one, so bring those War Birds, Sport Planes, 3D planes, Jets, Gliders, Scale, and Big Ole TeleMonster Candy Droppers! This is RDRCs last event for 2009 and we want to end the year with a big one!

Me and the VJ Yak will be there. I will be down a plane this weekend as the OMP profile had a little disagreement with the ground. I took off at Greenville yesterday and went for the 3D snapasarus into a hover and had no rudder control. I apparently stripped the gears when I went for the snap. It is repairable but will be a winter or spring project. Looking forward to seeing all you guys at RDRC this weekend.

Mocksville is a great opportunity to go fly some straight lines and subsequently never be able to live down ending this tiny streak of attending fly-ins, especially RDRC's fly-ins.


RDRC is a great opportunity to show the general flying community of NC, as well as everyone at RDRC that you are greatly saddened by your lack of participation in the NC flying circuit the past couple of years, and that you intend to do better.



Your choice....
