Anyone know the date for the fall swap shop this year? I am trying to see if travel plans to SE Asia conflict.

Helicopter help

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 16:00:54 GMT

My name is Kevin Griffin. I'm not a member. I was out at the field Sunday and spoke with Mike (Black Magic plane). I have a Jr Venture helicopter. I havent flown in in a couple of years and I want to start back. My problem. I need some help to go over it and make sure everything is good to go again. (Pitches, radio, etc.) Its amamzing how quickly I forgot alot of this stuff! Is there anyone in the club that I could maybe get alittle help from? If so I can be reached at kevingriffin@triad.rr.com.
Thanks alot!

Check out this NC club's website

Kent — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 13:03:49 GMT

Now this club's website front page is spot on for what club members want to know.

http://www.rd-rc.org/

The wind speeds.
The wind directions.
What the runway and flying area looks like.
The temps.

Man, is that using today's technology or what.

It appears to be in realtime, so the three camera view of the flying field would show who has shown up to fly that day.

a-mazing...............

Working at the field

Kent — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 05:22:40 GMT

05 April 2009

Chic did a piece of work for the club yesterday. A rather elegant enhancement, the product of both skill and effort.

Y'all know how the exhaust fan that he and Joie put in last year was sort of laboring. The louvered insect screen was a bit close to the fan and was inhibiting the flow a bit.

Well, he built an airbox for the sucker yesterday. It looks quite professional, aamof. And works good too. No way that wasps or little creatures of that ilk will get in, and no place for birds to nest even.

I'll attach a picture this evening when I get back from flying.

The grass AND the road

Kent — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:48:12 GMT

Chic just mentioned that he'd plugged and seeded the field once again. That's kewl for sure, but he forgot to mention something that just might be worth more in the long run.

He also scraped the road.

The last couple of weeks weather combined with the heavier traffic to cause quite a few problems all along the back section of our road. The gravel was mashed into the mud and a section had washboarded pretty bad. Without the means of scraping it, most clubs would wind up just buying gravel. Most people think the gravel is gone, and unless it's uncovered, it is.

That scraping is worth more than you can imagine not just because it saves buying gravel more often. It's shaping the road better each time it's done. Beyond just knocking down the banked turn the moble home people are cutting in front of their house, look at how flat the last turn into the field is now. It's gotten flatter each scraping. And of course, the washboard before the moble home is gone too.

The man has done us a real piece of work. It's saving us money and making the whole strip better.

Winston Salem Airshow

Anthony — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 12:51:57 GMT

Winston Airshow was great today. If you missed it today I recommend going tommorrow. Rj Gritter even put on a 3d program with a Chapman Cap.

Nall next week

Anthony — Sun, 10 May 2009 09:51:06 GMT

Who all is going? Looks like I will be going down with some friends and staying Wednesday till Sunday. Weather for Woodruff shows to be decent. Highs around 80 throughout with the most chance of rain at 40%. Of course T Storms likely but that is to be expected. Hope to see everyone there.

Tuesday at the field

Roy — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:28:44 GMT

What a great day. I'm going to try and post some fotos I've taken over the last few trips out.

Hey anthony

Chick — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 14:30:39 GMT

Where wer you today. Great flying day. I got the starter to work. Thought you would be trying out that new plane by now. Looking forward to seeing it. Chick

Pictures

Anthony — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 18:25:28 GMT

I have been playing around with that Picasa thing. I encourage everyone to try it. Once you set it up you can make other folders for other things besides the wsrc stuff. You can use it for anything. I think I read where it had a 100MB limit. Instead of emailing a bunch of pictures you can just put them in a folder and share it with everybody or a select few.

IMAA Fly In

Roy — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 13:57:29 GMT

Well guys - If you didn't make it out Sat you missed one of the best days in a long - long time! Great weather, great pilots and good food. No total losses - I think the most damage I saw was a detached landing gear from a "short" landing. Had on of our Raleigh flyers tell me the only thing that he was "pissed" about was that he hadn't been to our field before Sat! Made me feel proud. Everything seemed to work well except a small issue about propane. I'm looking forward to seeing all the great shots Keith and Mike post from the event. Howard - do you have any thin CA - I have three hinges left to seal and if I buy a bottle itwill dry up for sure before I use it again. Yea, I know Mike - I could just go ahead and get a bottle - use what I need and give you the rest - WELL it would still dry up and be wasted cause I can't think in the past years when you were working on anything that remotely required any kind of glue!!
Out for now,

IMAC and IMAA

Anthony — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:03:25 GMT

IMAC and IMAA is two totally different things correct. I kind of assumed it was the same but I noticed on the Joe Nall registration you have to be an IMAA member.

At The Field Sunday 6 April 2009

Roy — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 07:17:50 GMT

Well I didn't have the camera so no picts. What a beautiful day yesterday - a little windy - but beautiful. I finally got to meet the web king - Roy Barrow - great person and outstanding flyer. Lee Reamey was out and as usual put on a show for us. Joey and Kent were scraping and painting on the building - loooooking gooood guys! Kent also was working with one of our new members - teaching the renowned Kent Rogers fly in two days method. Seems to be working - time will tell! Chick did a great job on the fan shroud. Howard got a few flights in w/his 42% Extra. Just like the rest of us the wind was kicking even that big plane around. Bill and Terry were out w/their pattern birds - now that was a show at times when the wind kicked up. Bill was perfecting one of my signature manuvers - the "waller around" and was doing an exceptional job with it. Terry was practicing "I can land my plane faster that anybody and stay on the field" thing and came close a few times. Missed all of you that couldn't get out! OH yea - Louis visited us on his new big red motorcycle! It is pretty but you can't haul many planes on it!

Out for now,
Rong Rudder Roy
