sorry to see that mate that is a shame to see that happen and a very nice plane too the pitts

boxhead41 · 09-20-2009, 10:27 PM

hey brent what field was that at it doesnt look like too bad a field to fly at?

Brent Matthews · 09-21-2009, 01:39 AM

Scott

It is our seceret site at Hidden valley. it is between Cunugra and Beaudesert. I am thinking about the idea of having a fun fly weekend like a Huckfest like the Yanks talk about and have everyone come and camp for the night.

We had a scale comp there on Sunday with 30 planes entered. About 20 people camped there on saturday night and I hear they had a good time. I had to work Saturday so only went out there on Sunday.

Not sure when would be a good time of the year to have something like this but we can do it anytime and we have no noise restriction and can fly 24hrs a day so night time flying is the go.

If you look closely there is also a lake there where we fly float planes as well. On Sunday durring the Scale comp we all stopped flying and went down and flew all the scale float planes which were also in the comp.

Royster · 09-21-2009, 02:42 AM

Hey Blue!

Sorry about your Pitts mate. I remember seeing it at some of our IMAC events and being a rare QQ aircraft is kinda sad.

As I always say, if ya 3D, ya gotta be prepared to bin the plane

If you looking for a good plane for hucking that wont bite ya in a hover have a look at the Pilot RC kits. Zacs Extra 300 is easy to hover even though its nose heavy for IMAC it just sits there in the sweet spot that even a goose could hover it!

Hope the new business is doing well
