[Session 5]

Please keep safe and enjoy your flying season this year Norm.
Those are beautiful looking planes, and I know how much work goes into them.
Cheers

Thankyou Mitch for your encouraging words brother.

I always wanted to learn to fly one, but its best I stick to the dirt toys....

I would ruin a nice plane in just seconds...

Me too without a fair amount of Norms guidance.

At first glance, I thought this was the real thing!
I had to set my eyes on the pilot to realize what I was looking at.

Putting it in a proper setting just raises the Cool Factor x ten! :dood: :dood:

 

[Session 5]

Yes it can John.

 

[stringtree]

Yes it can John.

You got me jones now to this in the air!

Its so realistic! Its gotta be a blast to fly!

Great share Norm!

 

[Session 5]

I cant tell you John how exhilarating it is every flight!! I wanted to do this hobby ever since I was a kid, and now I have been doing it for all these years. The sound that comes from those engines and the smell of the nitro, like you say its a BLAST!!!!!!!!!

The smell of nitro..........
Now were talking, this would be a "Contact High"



I think its so wonderful that you accomplished something from your youth.
We should all be so blessed! :dood:

Working on getting my gear up to speed for this coming season. Making sure bolts and screws are tight . Making sure all controls are functioning properly , Radio and transmitter gear is in proper working order etc etc. Will take me through until April to complete these tasks, then I will be ready to get airborne!! As many of you know this is my #1 Passion.View attachment 37028View attachment 37029

Looks like Joe B. at the controls...

 

[Session 5]

This is my award winner De Havilland Super Chipmunk Scale , I built this in record time for me , had it completed in 6 short weeks. I had built this when working, I would come home have supper and get right to it. Worked 6 hrs per night Monday - Friday then Saturday and Sundays 14 hours both days. Most time guys would spend 6 months to a year to complete a project like this. Well I sent off a picture to one of the Model magazines and they sent me a reply back. It was Published in one of the most read publications of radio control aircraft. I was ecstatic to say the least.

 

[JohnnyGoo]

Very nice Norm.

 

[Inspector #20]

I really miss flying aircraft. I have never owned one, but always flew those owned by friends of my Dad's. I keep telling my wife we are going to buy our own someday...
