By the way, nice "glamour" shots. Only, I see it just sitting there. Where's the ones of you flying it? We really need more proof than this. :funny-laughing-smil

Yes, PAU 100cc Extra. Been my "old standby" for the last three years now and love it! Can't wait for the new container so I can replace my Edge that crashed at last years Wenatchee Huck!



I TOLD you I was the only one at the field! Kinda hard to fly and take a picture!! LOL You'll just have to trust that I didn't drive all the way to the field, assemble the plane, take a couple pictures and go home!

Looks like a nice place to fly, with a view of a hill with brrr on top of it.

That thing is the ****! Rock solid once you dumb up yourself a bit to stop fighting the gyro. Practically lands itself. :woohoo-dancing-bana

That is Mt. Baker in the background and it is just shy of 11,000 ft. My field is less than a mile from the salt water and sits at 6 ft. above sea level.



Good flying days start here in mid-May and end usually mid to late September. One can usually find flying days here and there throughout the winter, but the older I get, the more of a fair-weather flyer I am!

[MENTION=344]Xpress[/MENTION]; Yes, Spencer made my Extra his bitch at the Wenatchee Huck this year! :double-o-lol:
