RE: TROY BUILT MODELS
BINGO!! I can order a plane from Hamilton Hobbies, I get a call when it comes in, I can inspect it, and if something is damaged/missing, I don't have to buy it! Sure, it may cost a few dollars more, but not compared to S&H rates. Keeps my LHS in business too! [quote]ORIGINAL: Johnny_Zero My LHS will get me anything I need. I don't pay shipping....all I pay is tax. I can look over the kit and not buy if it is damaged. This works way better for me! [/quote]

RE: Modeler or ARfer?
[quote]ORIGINAL: cutaway [quote]ORIGINAL: TBONE6 So how can an ARF beat a scratch build in competition? Just a newb asking a question. [/quote] Some events don't have any appearance points or scale fidelity judging and just go on flight performances and pilot skill. Well setup and trimmed out ARFs can be (and are) very competitive in those events. ex. Q-500 racing. [/quote] Gotcha. Thanks

[quote]ORIGINAL: Ozzee [quote]ORIGINAL: Ron Stahl Also we builders are getting tired of guys getting awards for planes they bought and not ones they themselves built at events.

I have yet to see anything positive come out of any of it! That old turbine pilots vs every other R/C pilot attitude has succeeded in getting us kicked out of clubs all over the country!

RE: Dinner time
[quote]ORIGINAL: frets24 Tommygun32, Here's from last week. When you get yours: use 72-85% lean ground round(the grease adds a good bit of flavorand is discarded easily), and 12oz of tomato paste(instructions say 8oz, leaves it thin and bland) pic 1) 1.42lbs ground beef w/ 1.5x8oz cans paste, seasoning pack and 1.5-2 cups water pic 2) stir it all up causing the beef to seperate no pic) cook on m high till beef is done, add another 3-4 cups water and simmer (covered, it'll bubble and splatter)) on low; stirring occasionally(20-30 min or so) for several hours until it gets to a thin pancake batter like consistancy. (cook off the excess water) Don't stir in the last 30-45 minutes and all the grease will be in a nasty puddle at the top. cool and refrigerate overnight. pic3-4) next day: when you're ready to cook it remove from 'fridge and peel of the hardened grease...easy peasy! Flavor stays in and you're 99% fat free[:D] reheat on med-low/med and do up your pasta-I prefer regular spaghetti, some like thin. pic 5-6) Throw some diced onion(and/or beans) on the pasta, douse with sauce, cover with a generous amount of fine shred mild chedder(with tobasco, et al!!) and munch[:D] (Small for the lady and first of three for me...goes well with Mt.

RE: Dinner time
[quote]ORIGINAL: frets24 Thanks for the insight. The names we choose and keep for ourselves reveal a bit about ourselves Now.......Only for you guys, This is still secret to most around here.... The key is in the use of fresh tomatoes for the sauce and a bit tomato paste(shortcut/cheat as a thickener) along with the 4-5 cycles of cooking and refridgerating it with the addition of ingredients and spices during each cycle. A bit of Italian sausage and the use of ricotta cheese is also a must. 60:40 Italian sausage:ground round, 60:40 riccotta cheese:mozzerella in the assembly and otherwise just the additional diced veggies and spices you would expect; green bell pepper, mushrooms, celery and black olives. Fresh crushed garlic pan seared in butter/olive oil , add a bit of water when done along with basil, oregano, sage. thyme and black pepper and simmer/reduce to a thin paste. Add to sauce(spices are day two) Meats are day three. I use 70/30 ground round for the high grease content. we get rid of the grease much later. I use a lot of water in the browning of the meats so it doesn't clump up into chunks. All the meat and the grease goes into the sauce and it simmers for an hour at the least.....back into the 'fridge [u]All [/u]veggies are coarsely cut and fire roasted/seared on the grill before finely dicing and addition to the sauce(tomato and onion were day one, remainder day four) Squeeze the juice of one whole lemon into the mix today and add some tobasco for a barely perceptible bite as well; This(heat/spice) is one of the aftertastes that people can't quite place/figure out when they eat it that makes it stand out from other lasagnes...too much or too little and it's ID'd or lost. [b]Do not [/b]stir the grease back down into the sauce sauce in the last 15-20 minutes of simmering today!! Leave that nasty pool on top...you'll see why tomorrow..... Cold assembly and cook day five....refridgerate then reheat/serve day six. When the pot comes out of the 'fridge on this day all of the grase and oil will have been refined and form a hard, butterlike crust on the surface of the sauce; peel it off with a spatula and throw it away...now we are 99% fat free, no mess-no fuss, and all of the wonderful taste nuances of the fat are in the sauce! short version has meats and spices on same day and/or assembly, cook and serve on same day. Assembly with the cold sauce helps to keep the distribution even. The noodles are only pre-softened and finish cooking in the ovenwhile drawing all of the excess moisture from the sauce for a firm, juicy lasagne, not a runny one. I put a couple eggs into the bowl when I mix the shredded moz and ricotta cheese too...mainly to help blend the cheeses. Typical assy-I like some fresh spinach leaves in each layer for color as much as anything. Moz only on the very top with some finely chopped fresh parsely... again for a hint of color; it browns with the cheese but adds a subconscious difference to the appearance and primes the brain to EXPECT this one to be different. Presentation has a great deal to do with taste satisfaction.... I figured out a long time ago that most tomato sauce based dishes always seemed better the second day...after refridgeration and reheating. Found out it has a lot to do with the dissipation and breakdown of acids in the tomato sauce and the subsequent better marrying and mellowing of the spices. Logical next idea was to incorporate the cooking/cooling into the recipe[;)] The fire roasting gives it more of a Tuscany edge and lets me use my FAVORITE cooking tool: The grill. When I make it, about 2-3 times a year, I make a HUGE pot of sauce because it doubles as my spaghetti sauce; a bunch gets canned. [/quote] Thanks for the insight. The names we choose and keep for ourselves reveal a bit about ourselves They don't call me Tbone for nuttin'!!

This was the last car in a row with nothing beyond that point but open space. A fellow in a wheelchair had a wound on his arm, but it didn't look serious.

RE: How much do you pay to fly at your club?
[quote]ORIGINAL: Warbird Joe I belong to the HAWKS RC Club in Hamilton Ohio. Our dues are $40 a year. Our facility has a paved runway and plenty of grass to take off and land on as well. We fly everything from the smallest electrics to the turbines. The facility has several workbenches, starting stands, and multiple electric outlets. We also have a very nice building with AC, refrigerator and heaters. The building also has a very large covered patio with picnic tables and chairs. The building also has a weather station and a speaker for the local airport and weather. We also have port-o-lets and pop machines (helps fund the club). The field is in Joyce Park and given to us by the city. The city of Hamilton has been very supportive of our club and lives having us at the park. The city also helps maintain the runway when finances allow. They also help cut a large portion of the field. The club maintains and us responsible for the field. We have have two containers that are used for our training equipment, cooking supplies, event equipment, tractor, lawnmowers, and additional field maintenance equipment. Our club has approximately $3500 (give or take a few) in expenses from electric, pop, port-o-let, maintenance, equipment maintenance, and our new $70 a month water run off fee. Hence the reason our dues are $40 now instead of $30. We have training night every Tuesday night and will accomodate a training schedule for the individuals that can't make it out that night. Again Our club is maintained by us but it is not required to join the club to fly at the facility. All you have to have is AMA. We have anywhere between 100-126 members a year . So our events are very important. Two years ago our club also put in all heli field across the street. This has been a great addition to club and much is left to do yo get the facility to look like the airfield. Our big events are the Heli Smack Down and renamed Warbirds Over Ohio. Both events are supported by the LHS and multiple sponsors. We have a top notch facility and a great bunch of guys. Our club has a lot to offer and could easily charge more but charges enough to maintain our field. I would pay more if need be without hesitation. www.hawksrc.us Joe I think it is important to note that the dues increase was voted on at a monthly meeting, and was unanimous. Other members have also contributed greatly (monetarily) to the club. Those contributions far exceed any of the club dues stated here. [/quote]
