RE: WARBIRDS OVER OKLAHOMA 2010
Nice picture of the fellows with the helicopter and p-51 and seeing the grass field in the back ground... but, how long and what are the ends of the runway like. Jim

RE: Eletronic engine syncronizer **SUPPORT **
I have seen these safety "things" kill two twins this past flying seaon. Nothing wrong with the engines but the system got a hic-up and cut back both engines for a dead stick in rough ground. One was because of a magnet moveing out of place.

RE: Long, but good reading:
Interesting reading. I was fortunate enough to have a chance to fly a Space Control system in the early sixties that a friend had bought. He flew it in a Smog Hog and I flew it for only a couple of minutes and was amazed since I had been flying reeds at the time. I handed the transmitter back to the owner and he flew the Hog for a couple more minutes and then lost all control and the plane flew away and was never seen again. Needless to say the owner was upset. Thanks for telling us out here in the sticks how the west coast people did it.

OS 91 Surpass Pumper
This 4-stroke 91 Pumper has been running perfect. I tried starting it today and it backfires (pop) through the exhaust and will not run. Has very good compression. Checked the vales and they both were OK. Put new plug in...no change. Also tries to run backwards. Engine has about six gallons of 15% synthetic fuel through it. It sounds like it is out of time to me?? Jim

RE: What do you expect from a warbirds event
Yes I agree with SIMCO have separate classes at times...but have open flying and if the boys all want to fly together let them go for it. I guess the main thing is have a C/D that is aware of what people want. It's called CIRCULATE among the fliers...don't just set with your fellow club members next to the club house. Sometimes I have to travel alone to these events and it would be nice to have the host club have members move around the grounds on opening day and grab a corner of my EZup tent to help out.

RE: What do you expect from a warbirds event
Lots of good advice on here. No loud music and if there is music try to make it WWll and not all day long I like to hear the twins. Maybe honor the veterans at the morning flag raising by a raise of hands. Have pilot drawings for free stuff anybody can use some hardware stuff. If you charge $20+ have a really good free barbecue for pilot and helper. AND HAVE A CONTACT PERSONS E-MAIL ADDRESS THAT WILL ANSWER BACK HIS MAIL!!! darn-it

RE: ** AMES Iowa Multi Meet **
Guys, I know it is pretty stupid of me to bring up the 3-D question. But, I guess it is still fresh in my mine as attending another clubs funfly three hundred miles away a couple months ago and flying a scale plane for fifteen minutes I had a hard time getting the center area of the runways cleared for a landing. After calling for a landing and after making a go around the C/D of the event walked over and got them to fly off to the side so I could land. I will think twice about going back. Don't get me wrong as I fly a 50cc size Yak and do a little 3-D'ing myself but when a big $$ scale plane takes to the air I land and enjoy it as thats my real passion.

RE: Expert On-Board glow
Hi, I have four of these onboard units and they all work good. You can use up to five cells (6V) with no problems as the glow plug still only gets 1.5V. For a single cylinder glow motor I have used one large (3000ma) battery from Radio Shack and for my twin cylinder glow engines I use 1200ma five cell (6v) with no problems. So you can use 1-4-5 cells and you are good to go. :) Jim PS I would keep the unit a little way's from you reciever as I have one JR PCM reciever that it makes the sevo's jitter with the glow driver right tight next to it. Other then that one reciever, no problems.

RE: Dale Root's Low Ender
Yes, Ken Willard. That was another person that I had built models from in that part of time. I built his Traveler that he made to fit in a airline suitcase. I had a big Cox 049 and my first transisterized receiver in it working on 3V's. Two pencells in a metal battery box. I can't remember the name of the receiver, but still have it. I remember I had to hand launch the little plane with my transmitter OFF or I would "swamp" the receiver and somehow shut it off. Jim

RE: Grand Island Modelers of Nebraska
Wow, Friday was a great start to our4th annual funfly. A little rain at night and a beautiful day with light winds and about twenty flyers from other clubs showed up to fly. This weekend promises to bring many more. Last year we had seventy five and we think to top that this year. After a hard days of flying all pilots were treated to Neberaska steaks off the grill in our A/C club house. That is a half size clipped Cub with smoke. Puts on a real airshow.

RE: Aero Works P-51?
MMMM I might have to rethink getting one of these Aero Works P-51's. I lost my four year old Hanger Nine 51 last week due to dumb thumbs. Wasn't feeling that good on the drive over to the field and a stiff cross wind did me in. Total loss. Should have known better as have made many type landings in same conditions. Now I am interested in knowing if this Aero Works 51 has the landing gear in the right position so a person can balance this bird at the correct C/G and not have to worry about noseing over if taxiing on a grass field. I redone the Hanger Nine retracts so she would handle conditions...but it was close at times.
