The I'm going out flying thread 2016

This one is so much fun to "not be nice to" in the air. Full speed inverted, dive just a tiny bit to gain some extra speed. Push up into a wicked flat pop-top. Stalls and just kind of hangs there, then falls straight down, POWER FULL ON and rip it up right rudder knife edge. I'm surprised this things stays together like it does. LOL

Sounds an awful lot like the EF 64" MXS. I love that thing.

I love mine. I've cracked it up due to dead sticks.

Been pretty lucky so far with mine. There are plenty of times I should not have taken it home in one piece. LOL.....

We have a North South and an East West runway. He said that if your flying from the North South runway you can't fly over the East West runway at all. I was the only one flying so I wasn't interfering with anyone else.

If there was a lot of traffic I could see the reasoning, but I checked and just as I thought there is no such rule.

I was a Safety Officer at another club for many years. It's a rotten thankless job. But if your going to do to, know the rules.

We have one of those anal retentive clubs in this area too. They just beat the safety factor to death LOL !!! I stay away from them and never attend any of their events. To many unnecessary rules, so I and many others just do not fly with them at all

The worst part is that our club just started doing this in the last year. I spent a good deal of time tonight writing a carefully worded email to the club president and vice-president explaining the situation to them and telling them that the vibe of the club is turning bad. It's getting so bad that I'm reluctant to fly my helicopter because the minute you do they light the torches and sharpen the pitchforks.

When I joined this club in 2011 it was a great place to be. A great facility with friendly people. It's changed a lot lately, and not for the better in my opinion.

Got in a few afternoon flights with @ChickenBalls, @mulehead1969 and serveral others LOL had a good time talking BS and beating up my cheepo 50cc which by the way is a good way to relax! Im so glad that the season has decided to turn....

 

[yakken]

Got five more flights on my old yak with my new a9x yesterday. Today we are supposed to get 4 to 6 inches of snow[emoji35]

 

[stangflyer]

Well, it is better to have had the chance and flown than to have had the chance and not flown. Snow or not..... do it while ya can right? As for me? I worked on the trailer all day yesterday since the weather was so darned nice. I said to myself, "Why didn't you go flying?" Well, I don't make the same mistake twice. Hence....
