Samuel loops the Skyray .35

Very cool Mike. I love watching Samuel fly in the videos. I can't wait to post pictures of my little nephew when solos. I went to his house to build a free flight plane the other day and took him to the school to fly it and a kite. We had a great time.

That reminds me I forgot to take my new kite today. I put it where I'd remember to load it and still forgot. It would have been a great day for Wayne's Buka combat kites, but he left them home too.

Hey Mike, your son handles that big model really well! I'm not surprised though.. after seeing him fly the small ones so well!

Way to Go Samuel , your loops are looking better and better and he does have a feel for the handle by watching him. And here I sit 58 yrs. old and haven't even flew a .35 size plane All in good fun ! Eric

Get over to Huntersville and I'll get you on a large plane for some flights. Mike

Erik you should take Mike up on this great offer

The feel of weight and a decent trimmed plane on the end of the lines is a great confidence and grin builder--- even short tanked for a few level laps

 Get over to Huntersville and I'll get you on a large plane for some flights. Mike

 Or I can get you on a HiPo 1/2A Russian Combat plane with a Profi .049 that does 2 second laps.

Or you can fly my Cardinal, which will be entering competition retirement after I use it to kick Mike's ass.
Come to Huntersville Saturday or Sunday, Eric. (April 30/May 1)

Oh so we are talking smack now huh? Just remember to pull out of the reverse wingover this time!

Yeah, pretty sure that one's burned into my brain. Whatever happens, I'll bring my game this time. Whichever of us flies better will win it. Will you need me to call the maneuvers for you?

Damn Rusty...you owe me a screen cleaning....

Yeah I'll need a caller, still don't have it memorized. I've only flown the pattern 4 times this year and that was last Sunday holding my cheat sheet.

Sam's making it look easy.

You Guys are full of it and that is one hell of an invite , On a note I did talk to a friend I had mentioned before for an hour and we talked briefly about going (we had not talked in awhile) but I think were getting together this weekend and try doing some flying I will talk to him some more and see if we cant get something arranged. What TIME in the AM does it start and what is the address ? ( have to be Saturday) Eric

No problem.
It's been so windy all over the country, I wouldn't be surprised if lots of people haven't practiced much.

[/threadjack] ...back to the topic of Sam.

Saturday is the best day anyway, that's when most of the combat is.

Bucket list event...but not this year

Mike Sam is going to have a blast with his dad and the rest of that crowd...all good folk

Erik needs to stop procrastinating..it is 90 min away if for no other reason to go watch and meet folk

We are able to do real time streaming... get it set up and I can call / coach next maneuvers in your ear from 1100 miles away

Take video and photos please...like I need to say that...you guys are great
