eWeek at Triple Tree Aerodrome Sept 25th - Oct 1st

[TiredIronGRB]

Y'all are putting me to shame with my 9 planes....:(

Quantity doesn't trump quality ;)

[TiredIronGRB]

Loaded up ready to head out in the morning...ended up with 21 planes, about 200lbs of batteries:Whew:

[TiredIronGRB]

I just realized I've been posting in the old Joe Nall thread...I'm using a phone and can't half see the dang thing....Aros if you would move those other post to this thread.

Some of my own shots from here at eWeek. Very laid back... having a great time. Hanging with TIGRB, OV10 and Drill Seargent so far. Hoping to meet some more Squawkers soon. I flew my 90mm A-10, my A-4 and the new 70mm BAe Hawk. The grass here is very nice but soft and some of the planes we brought just will not get up enough speed to get airborne.

Details to come...

[RCjetdude]

I think I hear the sound of Taps being played softly in the distance...

Details to come...

Was that the midair I head yesterday? George, Tim, Steve, Charlie it was a pleasure to meet you guys and put a face to name and I hated the one day trip but next year will at least be a Friday and Saturday. :Cool:

Details to come...

I flew in formation with that A-10 at the Festival of Giants. Man! I can hear Charlie crying from here:Scared:. Got to hear the details. Looks like the Coursair was hit from behind, and no prop marks....hhhhhmmmmmmm......

Yes, that was the mid-air heard all over Triple Tree... It was good meeting you as well.

OV10 Stuka bomb drop at TIA...

[RCjetdude]

Man! He almost bombed himself...

[Grossman56]

Oh No, I just saw the pictures, Charlies pride and joy!!
Such a pretty plane too, dang I hate to see that.
What's the plane moving forward CB?? If the motors and running gear survived, it might just need an ARF kit.

A-10 verses F4U

[RRHandy]

I heard that all the way up on the main field, My sympathys OV-10. :(

[Twowingtj]

A-10 verses F4U

What caused OV10 to go in? It didn't look like a hard hit with the Corsair. Sure hit the tree hard though. Ouch! I'll bet that registered on the Richter scale somewhere. Glad he's going to rebuild. It was a nice looking bird. Which Corsair was it that you were flying TI? I looks fixable.

Man sorry to see that happen.

I was flying the 1200mm Eflite Corsair, OV came up under me so hard it popped off my canopy and tore off the flaps...my prop cut his receiver out, that's the sound you hear at impact. I was actually able to glide in and land the Corsair.
