Video of me trying to take myself out with the big Edge. Was a lot closer than I thought.

Yikes!

I do know Ben V. He is a great dude and a great builder.

Yes, Ben is a superb builder and meticulous too. He had a Cessna that he built and he even made the sunglasses for the pilot. Plane was top notch.

Is that the same Cessna that flew away never to be seen again????

Surprising how from the video around New Years, those two flying fields look very much alike , especially the tables for the planes ! I hope someday to get down to Larry's house & fly at your field at least once !! Maybe I'll get to meet you too !!
Thanks, John !!

If you come down, make sure to have Larry call me and let me know and I will come out.

Yes, that is the one!

He has had a couple planes fly off. He had built a nice Extra with a twin and it flew away at SVRCC in Burkeville, VA. We looked and looked for that plane. It was bright red and white and you would think we could have found it.

We had FPVs on numerous occasions do search after search and never found it. Undergrowth over there is fairly thick though and I suppose it must have went down at an angle that we simply could not spot it.

Damn I know the extra your talking about. Didn't know it had flown off only knew about the Cessna.

Oh, thanks, I sure will !! I wonder if he knows you by Luchnia though ? !!

I managed to get out with my son after he got out of school today. Couple flights on his trainer and a good flight on my Big Stick. Felt good to get out to the field. Just need more sunlight!

@Profile Pilot, you must fly at the Ft. Smith field. I am about 80 miles north of you in Rogers.

 

[ProfilePilot]

I do fly at Fort Smith. I heard you were trying to make it down this way. If you do, let me know. I would enjoy meeting you.
