Haha, we got a new FFAA mascot?

3D, it pushing the limits of what a real plane could do. There are MANY ways to describe it... It's stuff like hovering, harriers, rolling harriers, waterfalls, all kinds of spins and tumbles etc, etc Ask donnie to explain it to you when you see him at the feild.

Stuff that we would like a real plain to do but cant? I also never understood how when a plain flys up it doesnt just stop going up and hovers at that point instead of stalling and falling down in a normally uncontrolled spin. I really like plains, but havent really invested any time into learning how they really work nor the physics behind them(though these kinds of things do interest me).

Any South Florida guys pullin' chocks Sunday morning for the Nall?

I'm leaving Ft Lauderdale Sunday morning early, planning to hook up with Nelon (X Rated) in J-ville then convoy up to the Nall from there. The more the merrier, so if anyone is leaving Sunday morning let us know.

I went to an air show a while back, and was completely amazed. They were primarily showing of large (6-8ft) jet aircraft. Do any of you guys use these kinds of aircraft? I understand that they are pretty pricey, however, they are pretty neat.

Doug, You should have seen my sweet KE today... I wasn't even thinking when I did it. When I came back up I was like... wooaahhh. Hard to believe my flying instinct just took over just like that without me even knowing. That suka was LOW and the wind was blow'n hard. It shook around when it was coming to the deck to my right. It just looked sweet. I hope that "instinct" takes over at the nall. Hehe.

Jet's are cool, but our kind of flying is cooler You'll have soo much more fun "hucking it". (throw'n it around).

Speakin of knife edges. Last weekend I did one that was so low that my dad said hey don't do that again. So I went and did it again high but he was like screw it just do them low they look cooler. This was all until my 9303 decided to die on me yesterday. Thank god that it died when everything was on the ground. Needs to be sent back to JR. Bummer. Still pretty happy bout how my knife edges are turning out and so are my hovers. I am really putting my EF 88" Yak through its paces.
