I got the trailer loaded up with aircraft and hopefully... barring any heavy rain tomorrow... I will get tools, batteries, generator...etc etc loaded tomorrow night and head out Wednesday morning... for a much needed break from work
will be nice to see someone else fly an EDF... since I am the ONLY guy at my small local field

I hear ya...I'm the only one that flies EDFs at my small club as well. In fact, one of the "old gassers" asked me if I really thought I'd enjoy an EDF only event. Told him it would be great to see other EDFs and fly among similar aircraft.

BTW...looks like you're bringing three times as many planes as me. Looking forward to seeing a few of yours fly.

Again, safe travels,

I haven't flown half of them..... and with my luck lately. .... I'm going to need a bunch to still have something to fly throughout the event!!

Wish I could have the Tams A4 done.... or few of the other half done projects ...but I think I have enough to keep me busy.... also looking forward to meeting everyone

Safe travels x2

Wow that is quite a collection of models Mike.
Trailers bounce a lot so please protect your models. See you Wednesday.

Exactly why we do the EDF Jet Jam!
You are in for a real treat Sean, you will get to fly with top notch pilots, flying some of the coolest edf jets you will ever see!

The best part (besides greasing a landing on your own plane) is watching guys fly. My favorite is watching Terry Nitsch do a horizon to horizon 4 point roll!

See you Wefnesday!

I think the most amazing thing about the JJ is not having the horrible sound of gassers or props ruin the sound of awesomeness coming from our efflux haha!

Music to my ears! :)

Mike,

I got to the hotel about an hour and a half ago. If you're coming up I-65, it gets horribly bumpy about 60 miles south of Louisville...so pack 'em well.

I'm inspired by those RC pilots that can do a slow roll the whole length of the runway...such a graceful maneuver when at a high speed.

Absolutely! In fact, that was my first thought, but I didn't want to offend him. Plus, he often tells me he likes watching my EDFs fly.

BTW...I got a great welcome from Mark and Judy at the hotel front desk. They were wondering what the event is about, so I took the opportunity for a little show and tell with my jets. Judy was really excited and may come out Thursday to watch us fly. Mark took a few pictures as well.

Sean

[dusmmdb]

Bumpy interstate..... Would could go wrong!!!

[dusmmdb]

Yeah.... I hit a bad spot between Louisiana and Mississippi

Couple real hard bumps, so I pulled over and checked

Two old bungees snapped

Damage is repairable but... Ugh


Well.... Trip continues

Other than being blazing hot, it was a great "pre" Jet Jam day. A successful maiden on my Avanti, a flight on my Mini Viper to knock the rust off before the maiden of course! Yea, been over a year! Attempted another go at the T-33 and same issue with the plane veering off to the right each time on takeoff roll. Still going to work on that one. Now i plan to build my FW A10, stock and plan jane it so i can get some flights on it this weekend. Now if the weather can hold off till Sunday or Monday for some good days of flying, should be a great Jam.
