Default Re: What Are Your Goals For 2008

I got a list LOL:

1. Spend more time with my wife and son (4.5yrs old) (we spent a week at Disney last month and have more trips planned this summer.)

2. Lose 45lbs to get to my "ideal" weight (10 down 35 to go...)

3. Do a really good job on the 5 events I am running this summer while not screwing up item #1

4. Learn to fly the IMAC Intermediate sequence 1/2 decently (esp those snaps - so far I am way behind on this)

5. Do well in Advanced at my first pattern contest (so far behind on this its a fading goal... at least I have my 2M plane int he air now though)

6. Don't wreck any airplanes (so far so good)

7. Do all of the above while still doing a great job at work, keeping cutomers happy and hopefully bringing home the bacon (so I can continue to have toys!!!)

You're a haard man, what you talkin about?.. Actually, you just have to accept the fact that most rides have a little pain, if you do new stuff. You become inured to it after awhile...except for the big bad incidents.

Go KH 24" MUNI!!!!

Default Re: What Are Your Goals For 2008

goals, not necessarily in order:
1. teach my two sons to solo the trainer 40.
2. get rolling harrier down low
3. finish up the last godfrey airframe.
4. attend 3 IMAC contests.
5. not crash my brains out racing BMX with my boys at the local track.
6. loose 15 pounds
7. order up a godfrey 40% extra near end of year to build for next season.
8. hopefully get a camper and tow vehicle so that i can attend many more events next year.
9. build some sort of sport plane for the sons. sized around a 50cc gas motor. straight barn door wings and simple gear for easy aerobatics and easy landing characteristics. giant stinger sized but much lighter than that thing. i will scratch build it. no more than 96" wing span so i can use existing 48" sheeting i have laying around.

continue to stay in the hobby and ramp up for next year.

John Battershell.

Dang. He makes that look easy. I have a 20" Schwinn. I used to compete in trails(motorcycles). I was at an event and a guy showed up with a motorized unicycle. I think it was something like a Honda 70 he had converted. He would ride it over a car during his demo.

Neh.... I'll get it... Just have to put in the time and do it old school.... I can hover on the sim all day long on the deck, and have already begun to have things "click" while flying harriers and rolling once at a time- I just have to get much better!!! I would like to get a sim again, to practice and polish things, but I think I just need to burn more gas and things will be fine!!
