This is my little tribute to the man, the myth, the legend.....Wayne Geffon. This was the very least I could do show my appreciation for all the knowledge and humor he brings to Flying Giants every day.
Here's to you buddy....I love you man.

Well actually I just needed an extremely simple and quick cover scheme for my Extra.
This is a kit built Jeff Williams Extra, soon to be available as an ARF from Extreme Flight. Saito 72 and standard radio gear.

That looks like crap.
Send it to me. I'd hate to see you have to fly a POS like that.

Chris,

I'm sorry but while your airplane looks awesome I'm sure there are a few things that Wayne will question/pm you on:

1. Are you using 1/2" servo arms (or smaller) so as to fully utilize your radio's resolution?
2. You are planning on only programming low rates in your tx correct??
3. Was this a BBW airframe?? If not, why not??
4. If you ever loose a wing on this airplane please be sure you ditch the airplane well away from the runway and spectators.
5. Remember if you have any questions about your Saito you can always ask them at www.teamhorizon.com.

Tim

Dang! that thing looks awesome, and since i have a kit biult williams extra I know how it flys. Nice covering job.
Dont forgett to keep it covered at all times even when fueling and as soon as the engine is off the very first think you do is get the dang cover on. Oh and ad a gay looking hulk hogen looking pilot.

1. I used Team Horizon's new 7/16" arm the 1/2 inch arms are too heavy.
2.I use dual rates, Low and Lower.
3.BBW, can't afford it. Kit price plus 50%...that would have cost me 120 BUCKS, F**k That!
4.I program the trainer switch to put the plane in a spin of death, should this ever happen.
5.I hear those Team Horizon guys really think they are something special. If you don't believe me just ask one of them.

Maybe I can get it autographed by the man himself.

Yeap, I think he even conveyed this message to Andrew. Did you see the pictures of Jesky covering up Wayne's baby at the TAS event.

You guys need to get a room.

And don't tell us if the curtains match the carpet.
