[~KevJ~]

Don't screw around with me Kieren. You're a hell of an instinctive pilot. Maybe too good. I'd like to bust your butt but I can't. I got another problem here. I gotta send somebody from this squadron to cudgel! . I gotta do something here, I still can't believe it. I gotta give you your dream shot! I'm gonna send you up against the best. You two characters(kieren & darren) are going to Top Gun.

Hi all,
Both Ingo and I will be at the field on Sunday (14/3/10) for most of the morning.
For those that are unaware both Darren and Kieran won't be at the field this weekend - gone away playing with jets.

Colin,
Ingo currently has your plane and H/city order as he was thinking of going down to the field last Saturday.
He will be at the field this Saturday (13/3/10) until 10am to open up the gates for those that want to fly, so please advise him of your intentions so that he doesn't take them down to the field unnecessarily.

Thank you so much.

Ok Kieran, at Cudjel if you screw up just this much, you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong!

Oh dear... so many people who can quote Top Gun word for word...
...and yes, I have a copy of the DVD too! ...haven't watched it in a while - might go & dig it out...

Hi Colin,

If it is raining or too windy I shall NOT go down but hoping it is fine.

I shall go down early & be leaving @ 10.00am on the dot as I have a lot to do at home.

If your not there I shall give it to someone else.

All this Top Gun stuff is giving me inspiration
to complete my F14 build.

Afraid I won't be around this weekend either.
Got son down from Brisbane on Saturday and a 100th Birthday Party(NOT MINE)
on Sunday..
Hope you all have a great weekend.

Ingo,

I appreciate your help. All you've said will work for me. But just in case it rains or for whatever reason you cannot go down to the field tomorrow morning. Can you give me your address so that I can pick it up from your home if we miss each other. You can email your address to chancol@yahoo.com.

Thank you.
Colin

[dingy]

Ingo

Steve

[samste]

One of the best mornings by far for flying, Wind nil ,Cloud minimal.
Really Enjoyed Flying.

Blast! I didn't want to hear that .

I tried, unsuccessfully, to negotiate some field time last night. I was almost please when I heard a spatter of rain on the roof but woke up to clear blue skies and not a puff of air. I've been grumpy all day .

Hopefully, the weather will hold out for me to get tot he field soon.

[paulj]

It's always the way.............
best weather when you have something else on :roll:
Glad you had a good time I was thinking of you all.

We had beautiful weather on both days at Cudal, The F15 didn't fly but we did alot of testing and found a few bugs to be fixed. I think I secretly impressed a few of the Jet flyers with my Skyfun outrunning a few jets! It was very interesting to fly in such a wide open space its quite disconcerting at first as you find yourself easily flying very far away from yourself but the conditions were perfect so I was happily turning the skyfun into a spec and getting it back all weekend. Was also great to setup a nice low pass along the deck a few hundred meters out and power along for AGES! It was an expensive weekend for a few as a large F4 Phantom had an elevator failure on Saturday and a equally impressive F18 had a radio failure today. Both planes wreckage came back as tinder in plastic bags! Total write offs!

Have a few photo's to develop and a small vid of the F15 taxi-ing, will be up later.

[samste]

Its good to hear that the Funjet gave those guys with there snazzy great looking and beutiful flying jets a a head down and think shit i thought my jet was fast .
Sounds like you guys had alot of fun too, Looking forward to some snaps and clips to view.

Steve

[paulj]

I too am looking forward to seeing some video of the weekend.
I would have loved to have been able to come up to cudal to
watch for myself but other duties called
Glad you had fun.

Paul,
Last Sunday Gary found your transmitter knob on the strip when he was picking up his plane after having a flight.
Incredible - eh!
I have it with me and I will drop it in your letterbox thru the week.

Cheers
Chris

[~KevJ~]

unbelievable! good job.


also chris i have a brand new iron sock i have to get to you.. paul will be up at mine 2morrow so ill get it to him and he might drop it in to you..
sorry for the delay but i really didnt want to give you back a second hand one and i was waiting on castle hill getting one in for me.. anyways done now and ill have to you very soon.

[paulj]

Wow, you're right that is incredible.
I thought that it would never be seen again. I have ordered a new pair from USA
but that's OK won't hurt to have a couple of spares.
Great job Gary.
Thanks Chris, I see Kev's got a covering sock for you which he is giving me tomorrow(today).
Don't make a special trip to my place I'll get back to you when I have the sock and we can exchange then.

Hi all,
I will be flying for only a couple hours on Saturday - from 9-30am till 11-30am.
Sunday it looks unlikely that I will be there at all, if I do make it, it will be after 10-00am.
Happy flying to those getting down to the field this weekend.
Cheers

I am busting for a decent ly this weekend and praying for really good conditions. I'm in for as long a session as I can get but I may have 1 or two mini-flyers in tow that will limit my timeline.

Unfortunately, my eldest son has had the last couple of days off school this week and may end up changing my plans for me.

[~KevJ~]

im off to the races 2morow but im praying for good weather sunday so i can maiden the habu and my tucano. ill be down early sunday for 3-4 hours.. cya then ppls

[robair]

Woohoo
Big day for Mr KevJ on Sunday.
You're going to turn into a ducted fan nut bigtime, I can see it happeninng after, maybe...... 2 Habu Flights.
Then you are going to want a jet!!!!!!

Hope it all goes well mate as I am not sure if I will be able to make it down this weekend. 8-)

Cheers

[~KevJ~]

im already hooked on edf's rob, ive decided to keep the pc9 for when i can afford to build it like a power house like darrens but im taking prop planes off my buy list and im seeing the world thru ducted glasses!

honestly tho i have fallen in love with the turbines also, i could not take myself to watch darrens jets cause i know what would happen(second mortgage)..

this is the jet flight i saw the other day that represents everything i love about flying RC , i love this model and i seriuosly love the way this guy flies!ive seen trickier vids and fancy moves but this is top gun style for mine!!
"When are you going to stop those jockey's doing a fly-by on my tower at over 400 knots. I want somebody's butt, I want it now, I've had it! "

At the risk of another Top Gun Quote (hopefully not misquoted - you guys are scarily accurate!), Kev, you won't be happy unless you're going Mach 2 with your hair on fire!
P.S. should be down for an hour or so in the morning.

[kizza42]

You want masterful flying of a RC Jet?

[paulj]

Brilliant flying in both videos.
Loved them.
I won't be down tomorrow as We're looking after Ryan (Kev's son)
and going to take him to get his soccer outfit.
Plan on being there on Sunday with my F16, Tucano and Mustang.
Hope to see you all then.
