Flying with Mr. Rusty

Those are some great pics. It is really cool to puts some faces to the names. I hope you guys had lots of fun.

That must be fun! You don't live to far from each other?

About 12 miles, so it's a 30 minute drive. It's still really neat to have somebody with the same interests within a reasonable distance.

Go flying on the weekends!

Will definitely try!

Yeah we had a good time. We managed to get enough "go" out of it to do some stunts. Got a figure 8 and some loops, including a nice round double loop.

Mr. Rusty is a good teacher for you.
Short you will learn many things.

Heading out to do some more now.

looks like you guys had fun. Good luck with the up coming flights

Yeah,

Great picture. Couple of guys hanging out and doing some CL flying. Good stuff.

Wish I could do some flying with Mr. Rusty!

same here cribbs74

Yeah looks like fun.

They got here too late to fly because of a Sunday afternoon Church service . Too bad, I had the Bean and the Stuntman all tuned up and the wagon loaded. But no problem, the days are getting long and there will be lots of opportunities.

We ran a tank in Mudhen's RR1 and Matt's new Tee Dee .049. His little brother JP was there too. We had Matt's TD spooled up to a frightful RPM when the screws started pulling out. Thank goodness the fuel line pulled off. I looked around and I was looking right into the lens of 8 year old JP's video camera. Dang, I would have never told y'all about that, but there will surely be a video of it up soon. We tached it at well over 22,000 RPM. Nice one. We talked about engines and planes, sat under the maple tree and had a coke. Young JP can fly an RC plane too. I'm not sure if that's what they call him, but those are his initials. They're Irish, I bet you can guess what they stand for.

Meanwhile their Dad drove their pickup truck to Sumter to buy a used go-cart. It's a badass cart too, with a Honda 5.5hp 4 stroke and a roll cage. I got a video of them riding it around. I'll put it up later. All in all, big fun.

that go cart looks like loads of fun

Happy Kid.

Cool!,,go-karts are sooo fun. JP was all smiles.

Matt had it tached out, out of carburation, and heading to town on that one pass.

"JP's taxi", or "Red Rider",,or ,,

Garnet and Black Carolina Shaker.

"shaker" comes from the bent rim which doesn't agree with high speed....

Rusty you didn't have a go?
I would not be able to resist.

I think we forgot to ask him.

When you repaint it, be sure and get that Garnet mixed right. Lowes probably does a lot of Garnet around here. Ha! I even capitalize it. There was an awesome Ford Fairlane that always showed up at the Blaney Dragstrip back in my racing days called Carolina Shaker. And it truly was rolling thunder. He left a piston rod on the track at about the 1000 foot mark one night. He was back the next week.
