Default Im BACK...

hey yea all. It has been sometime since my last post. It has been a long time since i have been out flying as well. early this year i had issues with my rudder on my 1/4 scale. Then a friend of mine said hey i know someone selling a 40%. So i said great i grab it up. Then i made the change to JR ( a good change so far) so now i have a 1/4 scale that needs repair and retrimming. I figured hey ill just put the carden together and fly it, well her i am 4 months later still not at the field. I have the 40% that needs all the goodies. So i saved my pennies, oh and btw we find out that the wife is pregnant which we planned, but it is just not supposed to happen so fast.. so you can guess the money is now cut down a lot. well so i buy this 40% with a ford escort.. No more laughing.... My father owns a jeep, i figured it will fit. Well i test ran the carden and it and test fitted into the jeep guess what NO fitty AHHHHHH. so i start the mission of finding a trailer.. Well last week I found one. YEA... I pick it up monday and will start the whole build out of the trailer. So now that you read this whole article the question i have is i remember a post a while back about people posting pics of there trailers. I looked for it and cannot find it any help would be great. And I think i would get THIS POST SUCKS WITHOUT PICS SO HERE THEY ARE....

Hey Rodney, we were wondering where you've been. Glad to hear you'll be up in the air soon. FWIW....You'll get more advise on the trailor with pictures and all if you edit the title of your post to "Trailor set-up help" or something to that effect.

Also, how big is the trailor? What will you be pulling it with (Escort, Jeep...?)

.........Mark

Also, contact Jon and see when he's going to Q-town again. Might be good to have him look over the set up of the plane before the first flight.

P.S. I've flown that plane a few times.....you're gonna love it!

Rodney- good to see you back. I hope you didn't pay too much for that thing.... I've flown it and the plane is great but the guy that built it is a little shaky so be careful.... (just kidding).

No excuses now- you got the equipment.

Dave

I think it took and act of congress!

Actually, I should get a broker fee or something here. I was at the Quakertown field one afternoon on my way back from a meeting in Philly. Rodney told me he bought a DA150 and was thinking about the Aeroworks 260. A couple weeks later Albert told me he was on his way down to fly with Jon and I told him that if he's still selling his 260, that perhaps Rodney might be interested if he hadn't already ordered the Aeroworks.

It's a BuBA plane...Built By Albert


I'm still searching for that mythical Aerotech that was BuBA many many moons ago....I'm not sure it really exists.
