We're Doing Something Right!

I got an older CA Eclipse. Its a combo of a couple pattern planes since my original was laid to rest. YS140L with CF pipe. Been sitting for years because I have gone far away from glow.

Hey Bart,
How about a spot where us old school pattern fans can discuss the oldies but goodies.

And I thought I was the only "Glowtard " on a GS forum. Your 777 is GORGOUS!

Thanks, it's hard to believe I created that out of chunks of balsa.

They can call them slimers all they want, I use tuned pipes and 18,000 rpm to blow the oil well away from my planes. And who doesn't love the smell of burnt glow fuel.

I like my slimers.

Bigger does fly better, but damn I love the smell of burning nitro!

There's sumthun 'bout the smell of the air on a fresh spring day, a piping hot cup of joe, and the aroma of 20/20 YS/Saito blend filling your nose. I do remember those days.

I look for nitro planes when I bring my gassers to the field. Just to get a smell of the fuel burning. So many years of memories growing up with glow being the only option.

Just make sure you get your tail pipe sniffin' done way before they take off. Getting a whiff of that sweet smelling nitro will probably be a little tough.

The other day, Flycanic found a case of Power Masters 10 cheap. That was the best glow fuel we could get a couple years ago. He gave me a gallon of it. $28 a gallon for some other at the LHS. Might take my little Hanger9 F22 Raptor out when it warms up again. With a 61 it moves quickly and does some wicked snap rolls and flat spins. Kind of fun at times.
