I'd like to be able to do a running report on Nefi to the Squawkers out there, but not sure if there's any internet connection there, we'll see. If not, I'll do the same as I did last year and post all the pictures we take after we get back. Don't feel shy about copying any that you want to keep !!

I'm going to arrive at NEFI shortly after noon on the 16th. Just about done and ready to fly the new A-10...hmm, the Hog adds a little twist to how i'm going to load planes...

Lon, can't wait to see some of your onboard videos from the A-10!

Have fun at NEFI!

Ok, I am home now but I took a new job down in Corpus Christi TX. Right now they got me reporting on the 19th of June. Probably can not make it to NEFI, but, if it gets bumped back a few days then yeah I am in again.

Ben,
You've been bustin your hump at those ship yards in Virginia for quite a while so before you start the new job I think you need a short respite to enjoy your hobby.
I know of a great place for that ;) :)

[Grossman56]

Yo, what Charlies says Ben !!
Be great to have everyone show again and then some more first timers as well !!

That's a sharp looking fleet there...

Some custom work on the A-10 80mm for NEFI. Iowa A-10!!

[RCjetdude]

Got the maiden in on my A-10 today so it is ready for NEFI.

Great to hear!! If the wind lets up here in a hour or so. I'll be doing the maiden on mine. If not tonight, i'll be already loaded up for tomorrow morning. Weather predicted to be almost ideal for flying. :)

I'm counting the days till NEFI 2017.

[Grossman56]

The stand is done, here's some pictures of the build, gotta love a wife who likes to build.
Can you believe, 5 planes in the stand and a potential for 7 !!

That is impressive

[Grossman56]

Thanks Ben, I couldn't believe it either but there it is. The F7F is riding in the trailer, on the bed, I really don't want to yank wings on it if I don't have to.

Good luck with the maiden. It is a sweet flyer.

That looks awesome Dan!

Thanks to my wife, I hope it travels as well as it looks !! Only 1300 + miles to get there !

See you there !!

Well I got my extra batteries and the FW Folk Wolf 190 on Friday. I don't know if I will have the time to get the plane put together I might bring it with me and put it together at NEFI!

[Grossman56]

There you go, great place to maiden and not a better bunch of guys to maiden it with !
Last year, people were flying ones they'd won and some that they had bought from one of the vendors, outta the box and onto the air !

First posts from the trailer as I picked up an HDMI cable so I can run the laptop through the TV. Works great so now I can review all the pics from that day and , hopefully post them to the Squawk if there's wifi on sight
