Man what a great year.. I got all settled in out here in Texas.. Although not perfect the family is getting on with it well. One of my concerns with moving out here was the loss of my flying friends. Granted I will see and talk to almost all of them either here or at TFC but nothing can take the place of time at the field or in the shop.. Anyways I was amazed at the vibe and the attitude about going to fun flys. Man everybody is in and driving 4 to 12 hours is the norm, heck I even found some guys flying full scale in just to chill for a couple hours at the RC field. I had an amazing season and normally I am totally burnt buy this time and I am ready to put it up or my normal its time for a change and I either grab a helo of a glider but not this year I can't seem to get enough. I have projects stacked up in the shop I have been out there almost daily and making good progress on multiple projects. I am so looking forward to my very first indoor event. Yep never before been to an indoor event. I am already chomping at the bit for next years schedule to hit so I can start scheming ways to get on the road. I am going back to school later this month so I maybe cant get out for the full length but I'm looking forward to some serious fun with all my new friends.. I guess I just wanted to say thanks to everybody I meet this year and for the incredible reception I got at every venue I made it to this year.. With only one more event to make this year I couldn't be happier with the outcome and I truly can't wait for the 2011 season to start popping.

Well this one was a long time coming. Ron Wedel really works his ass off to pull this one off. Its one thing to do an event at your home field but a total different animal when that host club is three hours away. I guess luck for Ron the host club TUFF in Tyler, TX is about one of the coolest kick ass clubs around? Well I met Ron out there Wednesday mid morning kind of got the lay of the land enjoyed the perfect weather then headed to work. Thursday is a normal day just a couple guys coming in late afternoon but the flying has started. Friday well its on.. boys are rolling in setting up and getting to gettin. Saturday is always the BIG day the TRI state shoot out was pretty cool. I normally don't like shutting down the flight line to let one airplane at a time fly but all in all it was nice. Saturday night was one for the record books not sure we can even talk about everything that went on.. I'm sure we can't discuss dinner.. I heard the last flight was 3 a.m.. yeah I was not around for that but man hats off to those that made it. Sunday is normally a pack up and split kind of gig but for what ever reason the good weather or just the killer vibe guys just kept flying. I kept hearing yeah I got to get going I have a 3-6 hour drive home depending on who you talked with but nobody wanted to leave.. Pretty damned cool if you ask me. I guess I will have to ink this one in for 2011..

See you there..

One of the funnest fly ins I have ever been to today, had a great time and only saw one major accident, it was a midair between a Carden Edge and what I think was an Aeroworks Extra, the two planes exploded when they hit. I also got to meet Team Hitec and Brandon Chitty (sp), great guys and very talented. I was able to get a couple of flights in on my QQ YAK and also flew the Extreme Flight 300 a bit. I also checked out the new DW foam and I am ordering one tomorrow! Thanks GMoney!

I took my Midwest Extra out for the second time today (Sunday, Sept. 19). I thought I'd go around it with the camera before flying. In the middle of my flight a B17 went by. I obviously had to watch my plane, but I am pretty sure it was Aluminum Overcast headed north toward Oshkosh. I put one more flight on it. Now it has two flights total. I sure like the way if flies!

Here are some pictures of my Midwest Extra 300 I just finished. I began the build in Oct. 2004. Since then I have had two kids. That is partly why it has taken so long. It maidened on Tuesday, Sept. 14. It flies great. I will get some pictures with the cowl on soon. Klein Tools graphics are from Die-Hard Graphics. Klein Tools has not sponsored an Extra since 2007, but I had already bought the graphics. It has a ZDZ40 engine, 20x10 Bambula prop, Tru-Turn spinner, servos on ailerons and elevators are Futaba 9451's, rudder has a JR8611A, throttle has a Futaba 9001 and choke is a Futaba 3004. Batteries are Fromeco, 2 for radio, 1 for ignition. Smart-Fly super reg, Power Expander Sport and fiber optic ignition with ignition regulator. 24 oz fuel tank. Extensive efforts were made to lighten it up. I have not weighed it yet, oddly. When I do weigh it, I will post the weight. 9 oz. nose weight was required to balance on the CG. I may take away some of that nose weight little by little. If I had put the 2 oz. rudder servo in the radio compartment with pull pull cables instead of at the tail, I am sure the nose weight would not have been required. I thought the gas engine would offset that. Oh well.

Hey i have the CRRC pro 40cc motor for a yak 54. I can start the motor on the ground and it will run perfectly and have plenty of power, but as soon as i get it in the air it acts like its running rich, has no power, and continues to get worse until it finally just cuts off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys im looking to buy a bi-plane 50cc or smaller. I like to fly low and slow. Just wondering
if there is a bi-plane out there that will fly at walking
pace, or just a bi-plane that the stall is not as bad
and they fly better at slow speeds.
Thanks for any help.............
