Great day on the field today. A slight wind but stellar sunshine all day! Darrin and I both felt we would rebel agains't the price of gas so we flew to deadstick..... talk about dorks! Two very nice planes could have been lost because of not having a good timing system in place. Before we hit the air again, there will be.

This plane was built by Kevin Miller and it is sweeeeet! Kevin doesn't do it unless it's right. It flys so much better than my last, thanks to Jim Gilbert who is a pro at setting em up. Hopefully tomorrow will e sun too, so see you guys at the field.

I'll be there this weekend Mike, most likely on Sunday since I'm flying back on Saturday. Probably just the Edge still ( ); I really need to get new batteries in the Extra before I bring it out again, just for peace of mind. It looks like I might have to miss Polar Bear this year anyway so no huge rush on getting my 2.6 out (henceforth known as the DOMINATOR ), but hopefully soon!

[Rainman]

Ryan,
Everything you just said except for missing the Polar Bear was okay! C'mon pal, bring the Dominator with you and your cover gal too and fly the contest. We need you to show. We were planning a return celebration.... so, don't forget your cover girl.

Dave Villwock made some flight trim adjustments to my plane yesterday and it flys so much better. He's actualy been practicing with his Carden lately and wow, he flys it straight as a rail! I am however, not really sure he knows how to do anything half way. Even his 3D skills are lookin mighty sharp these days.

C'mon you guys. I know somebody out there has been practicing. Don't be sandbagging now, it is okay to share the good news. I spoke with Gilbert yesterday and I know he was maidining his new Godfrey. Sounds like it is a nice plane.

See you on the field Ryan, and....., change your schedule. We want to see you fly at the Polar Bear.

Hey Guys! I need to get down there again sometime! See this 'dominator' in action again. hehe

[Flyfalcons]

I really want to Mike, I'll see if there's any way I can change my training schedule. Those are kind of set in stone and they just threw it at me. Stinks. Speaking of sandbagging, because I've been gone I'm going to ask to start out in Basic again. I feel if I can crush the spirits of a few newbies as I get back into things I'll feel much better about myself. I did order some batteries for the Extra today so hopefully I'll be practicing with that soon. Does NW IMAC do actual sound check readings at the contests? I promise to play nice with my power settings but I'm not sure my plane will pass a real sound check. Say goodbye to another several hundred dollars to fix that situation.....

[Flyfalcons]

Nevermind about me being home to practice this weekend.


A MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE OHIO VALLEY OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THIS STORM WILL HIT AS A ONE TWO PUNCH. THE INITIAL PUNCH TODAY... FOLLOWED BY A BRIEF LULL IN THE SNOW INTENSITY THIS EVENING...BEFORE PICKING UP IN INTENSITY AGAIN OVERNIGHT WHEN STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL COMBINE WITH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TO BRING A SECOND ROUND OF HEAVY SNOW TO THE REGION. WINDS WILL GUST UP TO 40 MPH AT TIMES OVERNIGHT. BEFORE THE STORM ENDS SATURDAY AFTERNOON...YOU CAN EXPECT 10 TO 15 INCHES OF ACCUMULATION. THE STRONG WINDS COMBINED WITH SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL CAUSE EXTREME WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO NEAR ZERO AT TIMES CAUSING WHITEOUT...AND BLIZZARD CONDITIONS.
DO NOT TRAVEL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. CONDITIONS CAN DETERIORATE RAPIDLY IN BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. REMEMBER...A BLIZZARD WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE IMMINENT OR HIGHLY LIKELY.

That's not good. I was going to suggest j/s LCK-SDF-BFI. But I have no idea what the contingencies are for SDF tonight. Another option is LCK-RFD-BFI

[Dan767]

LCK-RFD not operating tonight(not scheduled). Only option is LCK-SDF-BFI

[Flyfalcons]

Jumpseat? I ride cattle car baby!

[Dan767]

Enjoy!

No worry about the noise. I suppose if you snuck up on someone at the gun range they might shoot your plane down, but nothing to serious! I've seen you fly allot lately Ryan and your plane just might be fast enough to dodge speeding bullets. Good luck there.

So, speaking of snow, sounds like "up to your elbows." All you need now are reindeer and you could pretend you were Santa for a day. I'll warn the Basic pilots that you are out to make a name for yourself , however; if any of them offer you tea or any drinks, I would suggest you pass .

See you soon,
Rainman

Ryan loves a good TEA PARTAY! LOL!
