NEFI 2017!!!

[Sky Wolf]

If I were a wealthy man I'd hop a flight there on Friday and come back Friday evening, just in time to leave Saturday for the family vacation. I hate I have to miss it again this year!!!

I've made arrangements to go to our Warbirds event this Friday instead. Dahawk (Dave) and I will represent Hobbysquawk and MRC well.

Hey Boots just order a 5 gal bucket before you go. With Motions fast delivery you will be set.LOL:)

Five gallons of Foam Tac @ $10 for 2oz = $3,200
Does Motion offer a bulk discount?:Confused:

Any news as to whether you'll have a 1600 mm Spitty there Ryan??

Shipped via airfreight this morning. Fingers crossed.

[RCjetdude]

Awesome Ryan! I can't wait....just one week to go and I will be almost there.

[Grossman56]

Cool !!!!! We could be the first Squawkers to get a glimpse of this bird..... So how many are they giving away as raffle prizes ????;)

Grossman56

[Grossman56]

One more day of work and then we're off, which should make me the first official Squawker to be on the road to Nefi. Sounds like a Hope and Crosby movie !!

OK Gman.........have selected my 12 to go to NEFI. Since "Twins are twice the fun" I'm heavy this year with 7 :)

The three not in the pic are the Warty riding on the queen bed and the 38 and Tigercat on the pullout flight deck in the back of the truck. ;)
Here's the other nine. :Cool:



See ya'll next week :Hug:

[Grossman56]

Dang Mr. Brown, now I have to clean the slobber off my screen !! I see nine there, I gather that the four others are the A-10, The Tigercat and......:Confused:
Oh the 38 ! I see now

Read the post :Silly:boy, just don't get glazed eyes lookin at the pic like a young-un who just found his first Play Boy mag. LOL

[Grossman56]

Thursday, I was thinking,"Next week this time, me and you and a runway, at Nefi. Time for me to fly!! (REO Speed Wagon)
Threw my acoustic in the trailer as well, I haven't played for a few months now, so bear with me, usually I'm grabbing the Strat or the Vandenburg if I do.

Grossman56

[OV10]

Bringing my Fender Cali acoustic too

[Grossman56]

I've got a slim line Yamaha with a cut away. Great guitar with a built in tuner, pickup and eq.
Played my last gig with her. A lot of complicated music for a church show, none of it I can remember, but I did Sound of Silence as a duet and did the Paul Simon live acoustic beginning solo, went over big. That was about six years ago and really haven't played that much since.
Amazing how some songs don't leave you though. I can still pick the dang thing up and play Stairway like I played it yesterday.

Grossman56

Drive safe and have a good trip. See you on Thursday.

[Grossman56]

Well, we're on our way!!
Took off from Cody at 0624 and got to Cheyenne at 1400, just over 400 miles. Plan on spending tomorrow to see the sights since we haven't been down to the southern end of the state before. Everyone survived the first day on the road so, so far so good. Since we have internet at the campsite, I'll check in tomorrow on the sites in Cheyenne.

Is there a secure place to store the planes overnight at NEFI? I am staying at a motel and don't want to take the planes apart every night.

I think it would be pretty safe assuming they are not calling for storms or high winds. What I have done in the past at Rend Lake is lower my shelter all the way down to protect them from the dew and make sure my shelter is staked down good.

[Grossman56]

Well, we made good time today and are now in Waco, Nebraska, beautiful, simply beautiful. I was expecting more of a desert type terrain instead of these rolling green hills, give me a home where the buffalo roam......
Cheyenne was great, but it was Sunday so most things were closed unfortunately, we toured the one museum in the old railroad terminal which was great. Anyone who is a Hell on Wheels fan can relate to Cheyenne's history and the railroads history in general. Kind of sad to think that passenger trains are now pretty well a thing of the past, would still be a great way to see this country, beats 30,000 feet.
So, a quick stop here and then we're off to Davenport Iowa tomorrow. Each stretch is about 400 miles so, we leave around 6:00 to 6:30 and arrive somewhere around 2:00 PM.
Two days til Nefi!! CB should be kicking off the party bey arriving tomorrow afternoon and holding all the campsites for ransom;) and we'll be there sometime Wednesday afternoon.

Can't wait!!

Grossman56 and Mrs Grossman, on the road to Nefi

I'm registered, I've got hotel reservations and should arrive around noon Friday. I am bringing 3 planes that have never flown and a lawn chair! The weather forecast sucks! If it's raining is there a shelter at the field, where I can still absorb knowledge :Silly:or will I be sitting in my car? :Rainning:
