There you go Rob you have a volunteer to help out.

Gary you won't even have to crawl inside the wings to work on that plane.

It is looking like I am not going to be able to make this show down as well. I will give it my best shot to show up on Saturday, but the Krill has been decomissioned for a little bit. Had some issues come up this weekend that will need to be fixed and gear ordered to replace broke/damaged stuff... If I show up, it looks like it will be plane-less, but that would mean more time for video..

Dang Russ don't tease us like that. Sorry to hear about the Krill. You know you are welcome to come hang out. It's going to be a blast.

For anyone not familiar with Russ' Video Skillz check out this clip he put together.

Thanks Charles, Its nothing major but will require downtime depending on shipping arrangements. Choke servo crapped out, stab tube theads for holding the stabs stripped out, spark plugs are toasted, and a few other minor things. Just need some of that precious commodity called "Time"...

I hear you. I know you have been busy with school also.

I need to do a little work on my 110" Yak. I haven't ever got around to building a cooling baffle for my Yak. I'm going to try to get it done before Friday. I'll carry it and fly if I don't but i'll have to fly it a little reserved. I guess i'll just have to beat up on my 88" Extra again. That extra has to be one of the best planes I've ever had. It's had the crap flown out of it and it's still begging for more.

Just checked Weather Underground www.wundergound.com

Highs around 90

Friday
Winds 0-4 mph
0% chance of precipitation

Saturday
Winds 5-6 mph
0% chance of precipitation

Sunday
Winds 5-8 mph
10% chance of precipitation


You couldn't ask for any better than that.

That's still no reason not to come hang out. If you want to come out I'll be there friday and we can all jump on it and get you going.





Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing them run. That engine looks to be a promising solution for those wanting a little more power on a 50cc plane.
There's more. We are scheduled to have bigger toys for the big boys to at least look at. I doubt we will have them runnig, not enough time,money or airframes..
