Also i think ill record a video of a 6.8 SPC punching a hole in my damaged 6s pack from the t28 crash.

Charge it first :):):):)

[rifleman_btx]

It actually only flew my t28 about 1.5 minutes before it went down. So it should have plenty of charge in it. :)

So where's the video :Drooling::Drooling::Drooling:

HRDWY, Welcome back! Looking forward to an update...Best, LB

[Hardway]

Thank you!!! Weather was not the best, but workable. Lots of mud at times. Fair turnout, but not what I expected for the big 30th. Glad to see the old team members!! We had some fresh-caught redfish and trout from Tiki Island in Galveston. We cleaned them and cooked them in less than 20 hours from line to grill, so that is pretty fresh!!! :Cool: And New York strips, baked potato, garden salad. Deer burgers and deer sausage with all the fixn's too... So were didn't starve!
Smoked a few good Cuban cigars brought in from Cancun by an unnamed individual!!! LOL Spent the evenings in the hot tub with some adult beverages. I flew Friday and Saturday with the Freewing B-17G (63" WS), so I did get to fly a 17 at the anniversary show. Many of the pilots and spectators told me that I had the best takeoffs and landings that they saw on Saturday from the bombers. Take that or leave it, but I was very very happy with them and they were greasers for sure. I even stayed on the runway and taxi ways and didn't tip over!!! ....

I have some pics, but I haven't processed them. I kept the Nikon in the truck most of the time... Didn't want to destroy Momma's good camera and telephoto lens... :Silly:

[rifleman_btx]

Hahaha i hear that! Glad no one was hurt with that B17 mishap, man that was sad to see.:(

Did you see the B-17 go into the flight line and crowd? Was that on social media? I assume it was...…. I was right there when it happened!! Sorry to be so quiet here. Recovering from the trip... After a day or two, I will be back at it working to get her done. I am so glad I have more time now!! Tons of scale details will follow!! ;):Cool:

[Hardway]

Huge Jug with a radial that sounded wonderful!!! Just Wow!!!

[rifleman_btx]

No i had a buddy email me the pics of the 17 coming into the crowd. It looked really bad but was thankful to hear there wasn't any injuries.
