    Yep. It was beautiful in Columbus all weekend and I was thinking when down by the Chattahoochee looking across toward "by god Alabama", I was betting you were ripping it up! No flying this weekend but had an awesome time visiting my son who is on the home stretch of finishing IBOLIC at...

    Kelly. I'm not familiar with this brand of servo. Do they produce HV HT servos for 30% birds? Looking at all options for my 540 and the current cost for 5 servos of several different name brands is a big ouch in my wallet right now.

    Wow. Nice. What a difference a day makes. When I left RVA yesterday heading south it was colder that a witches you know what, but sunny. Would have liked to have seen some snow down here but all we got was Ice.:(

    Yep. My 25 year old son text me earlier that at the range he was hit by two ricochets from steel targets. No penitration but definitely got his attention. But that is his profession and he loves it so like you a short prayer for your children at the beginning and end of each day. :)

    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    @49dimes I concur with you observation. I know in my RC "career" I have been "buzzed" by full scale at least 3 times that I remember. ALL three were below tree top level either down the runway and or crossing sometimes with multiple passes. I know on two of the three occasions we got the tail...

    Why Drones Are Scaring The Feds

    Yep Kelly. The country you and I grew up in and spent our young adult years in is long gone.:cryin: The past 7 years has seen a quantum acceleration in "change" and I'm afraid there may be no going back. Well, no going back at least in the conventional/political vote at the booth method. As a...

    Joe Nall 2016, Official Noise Policy?

    Interesting response to your answer by the clerk. Just about everyone, actually everyone, I encountered in Woodruff, over the years, have thanked me for coming and spending money in Woodruff. Old mill towns like woodruff have had to reinvent themselves and I suspect if events stopped happening...
