"Hello to the Circus" from ham radio...

For those into Ham Radio... this morning, while playing around on the Ham Radio (couldn't sleep again), I stumbled across a R/C Flyers net on the 75m ham band. I knew there was one of these "on the air" discussion groups, but couldn't find it. I ran into Fred in the Goldsboro club some years ago, and he told me about it, but I forgot it was him who told me... oh well, I'll blame it on getting old and such, heheheh.

I checked into the net and talked to RC Flyers over several states. When I introduced myself, guys from W.Va, Va, NC, SC, and Fla asked about the club, sent "hello's" to Larry, Robert and the Circus, and were very familiar with the FFT. Pretty neat.

This group is active at 6am daily, until everyone has to go to work and such. Those of you with shortwave receivers can tune this in on 3.933 mhz. Those of you who are into ham radio can access it directly. Since I'm in the home office most every morning at that time, I'll pump the audio from the R/C Flyers Net out onto RDRC.TV Page. I've added a new player area on the main page at RDRC.TV below the various camera choices labeled as [Audio Only]. I've also added the player to the two cam pages where all cams are displayed at once.

During times when the discussion group isn't active, I'll have it transmitting random audio from the ham radio. I hope y'all enjoy this, it's just something else for you to play with :-)

Thanks for the3 info, Dave! I had heard of a net for RC as well, but I thought it was on 40, and had been looking for it there.

I will have to check in one morning!

I came across this interesting article on the Boeing "Blended Wing-Body, BWB" test aircraft (officially called the X-48B) that I thought you guys might find fascinating. It's being tested at NASA Dryden. You may recognize the engines - JetCat P-200! I have one sitting in my shop...hmmmm.

Robert,
Are those refueling probes on the front? Is that a new twist on yours and Larry's refueling by pulling the can around with the plane?

I was thinking Pitot tubes, but I like your version better, Alan!

8.5% (of the theoretical full scale plane I guess..), 21 feet, 500 pounds ! Those P-200's are working hard !

Yep, those are "air data probes" that provide at least airspeed, angle-of-attack, and sidelsip angle.

It's big alright but as Jason said, only a small percentage of what the full-scale design would represent!

Cool stuff, huh?

OK folks. The fly-in season is jusssssssst about over. This weekend ( Nov 7th and 8th) we have Vanceboro, Lumberton, and Danville. After that only a War bird meet remains being held in Fayetteville on the 24th.
I know we'll be splitting up on Saturday with a few going to Vanceboro, and the rest going to Lumberton, but who all is headed to Danville on Sunday? All three events are IMAA events.
You guys are pretty familiar with Vanceboro and Lumberton fields, but I'm not sure how many of you have flown at the Danville site. Actually, its at the Danville Regional Airport. They fly off one of the alternate runways. Perfect place for jets! hint hint

This would be our last chance in the year to get a big group together and head out, although it would be on a Sunday. So far we have a pretty good size group going. Me, Jacqui, Josh, Robert, and Wess Ryman and a couple others have said they wanna go. We'd really love to have more of you make the trek with us. Its not that far of a drive, and we know you'd have a great time. So think about it, and get you name on the list!

Thee List!

Larry
Jacqui
Josh
Robert
Wess

Lets do it, sign me up !

Now I just have to figure out Saturday....
