how can you guys fly in such poor weather.

should come north and fly up here with us.

we still have about 3 inches of snow and ice packed, tomorrows highs are forecasted at 28 degrees.

great weather for burning kero....... well maybe to keep warm and melt the runways free of ice......

Guys, enjoy the weather, 12 more weeks and spring will be here

Enjoyed the kero burning party, and it was great to see everyone. I do believe Tom's got his landing technique at Austin nailed.

Bob

You are right about Tom's landing, he did an outstanding job. Looked like a full scale coming in

Bob, I was truly impressed with your plane, forgot what you call it. Full bore it was a bullet but on landing it really comes in soooooooo slooooooooow. Great design.

I enjoyed the day.

Sean, really impressed with your cnc machine work. The struts looked great.

I had a great time...good to see you guys again. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! The Grinch is making me work 18 of the next 23 days so no model flying for me. See ya the middle of Jan. Oh yeah, it sure was fun to go home from Austin with all the landing gear parts in the proper place.

Tell your wife I said Merry Christmas and she should ease up on you a little bit


I had a blast as well!

Rav, what happens at Arca on a Wed. afternoon stays at Arca

It's nine o'clock and I just slept the last two hours........ Does that make me an O.F.??

Thanks for the compliments, ya Bob, that 'inator is one bad butt scooter.

Tom, I'll get on your stuff later, and talk to you soon.

Not my wife...the company wants to make lots of money so the execs can give themselves big Christmas bonuses. All the labor slobs work while they sit home under the Christmas tree with a nice glass of scotch!

Hey Bob-o! I read your post and went "what??". I have no idea why it said 4:30 am, cause I wrote it about 9 pm, go figure. I am going to try to go to Miss. Afterburner this coming year (if I can sneak away during the campaign). Hope to see you and the rest of the crew there, it's lonely down here in the swamp.
