Good to hear Boots, nothing like a few good flights!!

Good to hear Dan & Di! On long drives I find myself thinking “beam me home, Scotty”!
The weather wasn’t great and it figures I was feeling a bit under the weather.
I was finally able to get in ten flights on Sunday, but I did it at the “Gazebo” site since the IMCCA took over our NEFI site. A much much smaller runway but more than enough for my FMS SuperEZ. Flew the snot out of her! A good confidence builder!

Good to hear Dan. Rest easy now.

Hey guys, got home Wednesday around 10:30am. Came in from Casper, it was 11 hours on the road yesterday but only 4 this morning, the only way to go!
kept thinking of City Slickers when they finally bring in the herd, that's what it felt like...……
WHEW!!!!!
Great to see all the pictures coming up on the thread and we'll definitely get all of Di's up as well. She did a great job and for as iffy as the weather was, those clouds are amazing in the pics!

I'm going to see if our local college offers a course in photography and sign her up, she's amazing with the thing and so much raw talent could be a force to be reckoned with a bit of insight.

Anyway, the sun is shining and the cats are happy we're home, frankly so am I. Once you leave, all you want to do is get home. The good thing is I have some more days to burn at the field before going back to work!!!

Hey guys!
Figured I'd better chime in as we arrived in Waco, Nebraska about an hour ago, all is well so far, ran into some rain around Lincoln,Ne but its good here.
Nefi was awesome!!!!
The highlights:
Getting to meet George and Skippy!!:Goodbye::Goodbye:
Getting to finally meet Chris Savage, he kept showing up in the pics from the last two year and I never saw him there!!:Cool:
Getting together with old friends like the Timber brothers, Captain Kevin, Steve, Boots, Lon and Mike,;)
But especially, getting to hang with my good buddy Charlie Brown:Cool::Cool::Cool:
After so many successful flights and pretty decent weather, I'm glad we pushed on.
So, I finally got to fly the Bearcat at Nefi and she did me proud, the Spitfire was being tricky, she's a different bird to fly, but I'll get it!!
Diane got her usual quota of pics, we watched them on the slide show program for over an hour last night. Those clouds made for some pretty dramatic pics, as you'll see, I just have to resize and do some editing when I get home.
I want to personally thank everyone for the wonderful three Nefi's we've been so fortunate to attend. If it hadn't been for you guys, my flying would not be as good as it is, so thanks so much for the guidance. Still a long way to go, but such a long way that I've come along.
So, to me it was only fitting that Diane and I flew La Patrona on my last flight over AMA HQ on Saturday evening. Did a wave to the crowd and a victory roll as a farewell. Brought her down to a perfect landing and taxied off....
Funds, being what they are, will not allow us to attend again and we both agreed that a 3250 mile return trip is getting to be a bit expensive, but you guys will be in our hearts and minds.:Crying:
Here's some humorous pics, or angles you'll seldom see...


:pop



and skies like this!

more to come later!!

The AMA staff were absolutely wonderful to us, they are just a big family there and when you go to visit that is how they treat you.

I had a great time and plan to be there next year.

[RCjetdude]

Both her and April had them on when they got there Saturday. See the third and fourth pics in post 152 above. ;)

Chloe would look better in a Motion RC tee-shirt. Just saying... lol

[RCjetdude]

Sorry, I never got any info. on it. We left at about 11:30 after getting packed up and putting in a couple flights. We had OV10 sign the bomber RV as well and then got some shots with Chloe, April and Jay Smith of the AMA.







Handing over the F-86 to Chloe. May it serve her as well as it has served me as she learns to fly EDF's.

[F22trainer]

Any info on that Convair?

[RCjetdude]

Today was a very busy day. We had numerous people stop and ask us questions about the products that Motion RC sells. I gave Chloe Allison Prince an opportunity to fly my F-86 Saber and she did a good job for her first time flying an EDF. Afterwards I gave her the plane and hope she continues to practice and improve. Captain Mike got some more good video of various planes flying while managing to squeeze in some flights of his own. The winds were a little higher today but straight down the runway so not really a problem. It remained overcast which kept the temperature down and we only had one little short rain shower. It has actually been so pleasant that I hardly broke a sweat.

Some pictures from today.

All of the pilots and AMA crew who came out to support this event. Proceeds went to the ARF animal rescue shelter.



The HobbySquawkers who came.



Chloe and April of Chloe's RC Safari on Facebook came out to fly with us.







Skip Kixmiller (skippykix) of Oakland, TN won a FlightlineRC Spitfire from Motion RC


and Bryan Liss from Indianapolis won the P-38.
