Lyle... My 'Geezer' brain sometimes get the dates wrong... so it was either last year or two years ago at the TRAMPS Muskogee's Oklahoma Jumbo (or Warbirds over Green Country) at Hatbox Field... that I captured you bringing in a one fine built B-25 on ONE engine with about a 20 degree West crosswind @ 15 mph...!!! That was some dang fine flying my friend....!!!! You are a rudder man plus. I watched that footage for the next 2 weeks...!!! Great job...!!! -Stan www.oksoonersquadron.org/ =====================

I figured since you now had cubicle in FAA DC... you would be hard pressed to be home at any given time during the season anyway. In a nutshell... Thanks for inviting Noah down for WBOOK 2012. Just hooking him up with Ray was worth the all the wind blast we had on Friday and Saturday. He's just a really good 'fit' for several clubs down in Okieland. He's one of the 'good ones'....

RE: Giant Scale Twins F7F Tigercat
Noah... No biggie on the last name... in fact, I'm not sure I even gave it to you last weekend...?? If I didn't... real dang close on guessing what it should be...!! Was tooting my own horn with the 'Video King' comment... that was supposed to be in the vein of 'humor'... more or less. But after years of trying to get this hobby captured on cam... believe me... it is one hard subject to shoot. I really appreciate the comments on how they like my 'short style' of how I edit the footage. Early on... I was as bad as some of the long winded versions I still see up here today. After hours and hours of viewing and editing them... it was just plain boring. I love the takeoff and I love a great 'greased' landing... with some photo passes thrown in the middle. The good (or bad of this...??) I rarely ever catch a 'oops' moment or a 'auger in' shot... which is one of those bittersweet things depending on how you look at it...?? I personally hate it when a really fine build goes in. Always have. My pleasure... is being at an event where I get to see (and hopefully capture) really great builds and fine flying. And especially new planes that haven't been seen in our area before. Your TBM Avenger and the GS TigerCat really made the WBOOK 2012 for several of us. And getting an almost perfect 3 or 4 hour flying window at the OKSS field Sunday afternoon... made it all worth the wind blast we had endured for the two previous days. While Iowa City is going to really miss you... the Okie bunch will be more than happy to try and make you feel at home. But... I think you already know that after this weekend. -Stan

RE: Giant Scale Twins F7F Tigercat
Noah.... Just to get the record straight... it's Stan Pritchard of the OKSS club. The [b]Video King[/b] of Oklahoma R/C...!!! No matter... you are exactly right... having two GS TigerCats in the same region will blow them away at the R/C events in our OK area this season. But... the only hold up for a dual TigerCat show... might be Ray's wife... she just went through some major back surgery... and he may well have to hang close to the home campfire for several weeks this season. That is a major bummer... but Jane is such a good trooper... she might kick him out of the house anyway. Ray will not fly in front of a crowd... which, for all the years I have been with OKSS, has always had me scratchin' my head. He is a hell of a stick... just not in front of a crowd....??? Jim Ellis generally flies his birds in that situation. That video you had linked to in this thread, showing his TigerCat... and the way he flew it... was just Ray, me... and my cam. He is a great R/C pilot... it just kills me that he doesn't know that. -Stan www.oksoonersquadron.org/

To the TGD's WBOTUL-2011... [b]Thank you[/b] to the [b]TGD's[/b] for another great Warbird weekend at Tulsa in 2011. Only the second one... and it's already making a name in the area. Freddie, Terry, Chris, Claude, Jerry, Randall, Jay, Jim and Tim ... and all the rest of the great gang at Tulsa Glue Dobbers for a really, really needed weekend of good weather, good friends and GREAT flying...!!! The field looked absolutely great and the pit row setup was perfect. I personally saw the Stillwater, TRAMPS, Bare Hill Gentleman's Club, North Dallas R/C Club, OK Sooner Squadron, the Enid SPADS, Bartlesville Falcons, Ponca City GOOFS (and probably some I missed) Clubs in attendance. I know some Arkansas boys attended as well. IOW.... It was one Great turn out...!!! You boys did yourself proud. And that presentation to Grant was something I was proud to attend. That was class....!!! He is, and will always be, one of our area's finest R/C Gentleman. BTW... Thanks Jim for that low-pass, fly-by this morning in your ultra-light with the siren going.... woke my butt up for sure...!!! :) -Stan OK Sooner Squadron - We only had 11 Yellow shirts show up - sorry for that....!!!

I really don't know what the temps have been down in the NDRCC area... but it has been an oven up here... IOW... a 'Geezer Killer' summer and we have all been hiding under the AC for the last 2+ months up here. That really sucked...!!! If the wild fires were not trying to kill us... the heat was. Bill has really been bustin' it trying to finish up on his Neiuport 17 and it may make the trip as a 'static' anyway. I know 'Beautiful Doll' is coming... but don't know about the C-ARF Corsair...??? Surely he will bring it. Jim has the Sopwith Pup dialed in and it will be there along with 'Okie Kid' I'm sure. I could see your 'Miss Plainfield' and the Spit... but what was that over the blue cooler in the photo...?? Wait to you see what Bill/Sharon pull up in pulling their trailer. I could put a bullet between his eyes... but I kinda like him too much to do that. What really ticks me off... they are not even going to stay in it... they have rooms over at the 'Hard Rock' (I think...???). Heck... I'll stay in it and be security for the field at night as well. I am pumped about this one...!!! It's been a LONG, hot, dry summer and I have 'summer' cabin fever big time.... -Stan

Tires on the Corsair... or the trailer that hauls it around..?? We were invited to a static setup in Shawnee, OK yesterday for a 'Youth Aviation Adventure' program at the Gordon Cooper Aviation School campus. Bill had just done the 'fix' on the wing lock and had the wings folding and unfolding a couple of days before. Got to the hanger and something had happened to the pump, plunger (or something..??) and it wouldn't work for him. Along with wanting to hear that Moki run... I would like to see the wings fold and unfold. I'm sure Bill does as well. The cockpit canopy opening & closing is working as well as the running lights. Just a matter of time for the rest. Edwin... Personally I think that 5 jug Moki was made for a Stearman. It's just to dang good looking a motor to be hid under a cowl. Next time you see that Stearman owner... check and see if he had been told to start adding a fuel pump to his Moki...??? That had just come down from the Moki builders recently according to Bill. That and start lubing the exposed rockers with a certain kind of lube that is only found in Europe...?? -Stan RQ-11 Raven (drone camera platform) H9 Fokker D.VII

Needless to say... the [b]WBOTX[/b] subject came up and it looks like we need to put our hats in the ring for space from the second gate into the field to the sunshade cover. I mean it looks like the [b]WHOLE[/b] crew is making plans for this one...!!! For a measuring stick... you only got about a 1/4 of the crew for the Scale last season (ask Gary, Charles or Ed). I guess having a two man PR team up here in OkieLand for [b] WBOTX 2011[/b] (me, Bill & Jim - no charge BTW) might have them pumped just a tad. So... put your sunglasses on... get ready to have Yellow Shirts all over your place...!!! On a serious note... we [b]DO[/b] look forward to this one. Beside that... you will need the [b]OKSS[/b] gang to keep those Lubbock boys under control. They have been known to drag out the wading pool and have a mud wrestling contest in a matter of minutes...!!! That is NOT a pretty sight...!!! Sometimes you can't take them anywhere.

Clyde... Ditto on the weather... but the forecast looks fairly good as of the 6:00PM News tonight. Only thing might be a small crosswind from the East. Keep fingers crossed...!! The head count as of this morning looks to be Jim/Calvin, Richard, Bill (Sharon has to work), Ray, Al and me. So there will be some Sooner Squad in the mix at Ponca City come Saturday morning. If Stewart isn't gonna' make it... maybe I can win something..!! That is if Don has a raffle... or a 50/50...?? Haven't heard. See you there... -Stan
