CHUCK & THE AUGERNAUTS
Chuck Auger was nice enough to let me fly his TC in Nashville, but unfortunately, it flamed out in a hover and crashed.......after a little bartering the TC became mine.....I did a little rebuild the last 2 days and flew it this morning....has a K&B 48...its a 3 D monster, tanks for dealing with me chuck

RE: CHUCK & THE AUGERNAUTS
Well men, if it wasn't for an Auger, you wouldn't have such a "lovely" bird!
That was a quick repair, Gator. Looks as good as it did before you flew it...er I mean it looks as good as it ever did..eerrr, I mean Men, this is as good as plane will ever look .
Craig (carrido02) is so gonna kick my ***** for letting that plane go. It was crashed, Craig!! He begged for it!!

RE: CHUCK & THE AUGERNAUTS
Pauly, its clear mono, I made one of the servo holes too big and oil got on the inside and started soaking some of the wood...I tried an 11.5x4 and it flew great, but I forgot to tach it with that prop. I tached it with an 12.25x3.75 and it was only turning10.5G's but the engine still sloppy rich cause it hadnt been run in a while, tweaked it with the 12.25 prop to around 12G's...it hovers great, does killer harrier. only got 2 flights in this morning, hope to get more in friday
Ulf, the GWB shoudl be TR'N over Mempho Friday as well. I just got to put the eng on it...
Creedo02....go easy on chuck and get yer daddy to show you how to pick up the soap
oh yeah, my "sponge bob"scale said 4lb 12oz

I knew you'd be hacked..but it was busted up, I didn't want to sell you a busted plane, and I didn't want to fix it. Gator was having sex with it until it crashed, so he got to fix it.

RE: CHUCK & THE AUGERNAUTS
I think (although nobody knows how Gator's mind works) that he was implying that I had abused you by letting him have the plane instead of you.
$600??
Hey Gator, I want Craigs plane back!!

RE: CHUCK & THE AUGERNAUTS
Well, I REALLY was planning on offering alot of $$ for that plane because it was my favorite, but thats ok. I've got a sweat one now anyway.
I figured that if I had a kit, and a YS 63 laying around... why spend all that money when I could just build it? I've also got a new Saito 72 and OS 50 SX that need a home.... I think I'll build a sledge!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
Craig Rideout

RE: CHUCK & THE AUGERNAUTS
it actually took the crash pretty good, a credit to you building. It knocked the wing loose outta the saddle and bent the LG back like retractable gear. Graig, how old is this plane, when did you build it?

RE: CHUCK & THE AUGERNAUTS
You were supposed to tell him it was trashed beyond repair, but you brought it back from the trash can
Honestly, I thought the fuse was busted in the saddle area. I guess it looked worse than it was.

RE: CHUCK & THE AUGERNAUTS
hehe.... kindof glad you don't have a picture.... you'd find me crying in a corner somewhere. (just kiddin')
I don't know how old it is.... I had it for about 4 or 5 months before Chuck bought it from me.... and he has had it for at least 6 months. I would guess that it's about a year old. I think I built it at the beginning of the school year, last year. but, I may be way off.
Chuck, how long did you have it?
Thanks,
Craig Rideout
