I got a nice Tilly Hat. [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]  Got to set a fashion statement at the field you know and a $800.00 Gift certificate at Great Hobbies. :o 
I also asked for a blow up doll, but didn't get that. :(All I got was a dirty look >:(from Jean.

Merry Xmas Everyone!!!!

Bruce

Meery Christmas ,


I have a new 60 size Twist from Hanger 9 .

Santa was good this year. Got a Night Vapor, Extra 300 and a Phoenix Flight Simulator. Whoo hoo!

I got socks, a chicken holder upper and a cover for my green egg smoker.  I tried fling the chicken holder upper and it's just too heavy.  Tried flying the socks too but every one of them developed flutter and deformed in flight.

Awesome...so now we will have something to dodge the ceiling fan with in Margaree...

Hi Guys,

I got an Addiction X! ;D

Also bought Marks BME 58 in preparation for the 50 cc plane, but i bought that!... ;)

Brian

I have to confess I've joined the Dark Side .... I got a meccanno set.... small Blade electric... flybarless head  ;D

its not as hard as I thought it would be - heck I did most of Colin's stuff on the very first flight... and I've been practising some precision landings - in the tree, fireplace, dining room table. :P

Sandy I know you haven't been to the field in a long time, but there was no need to do that.

Hope you're feeling better soon  ;)

Wow...I am going to frame that quote and hang it in the hall of fame.  Never thought that we would see you fly and own a heli....let alone admit to it.  LOL.   :D

Oh, and I forgot to say I got a nice new craftsman drill press for xmas. Now all I need is a nice new garage to put it in.

Ramzz, thanks for the heads up, after your lack of success flying all your new toy's I decided not to try the press. Didn't think hand launching 96 lbs. would go well  ;D

Is this what they call a flybarless head?? Where's Colin when you need him???

Yeh Glen, know what you mean... I got a new 18v drill (old 9v one was dead) and I'm not even going to try flying that  - if Marc can't get his chicken holder to fly, what chance do I have..
but you, couldn't Goddess Who Solders chuck the press?? Or at least put her on the radio and you throw it.... :D

---

Got a Pilot 30% Sbach (new color scheme) and a DLE 55 engine with Slimline Pitts muffler.
Santa was indeed good...

Ah you'll love the SBach... even with that color scheme !!  8-)

Mine makes even me look not too bad ... still have the original gear after season 1...

Well I'm going down a new road this year and jumping on the turbine band wagon.
This is what Ho Ho brought me.

Wow that scheme sticks out.  You should do a mini assembly thread.  Everybody needs to see how the Big G@y Rocket takes shape.

Allready started, so Gay Rooky away. ;D ;D
I thinks Marks a little green

I get a little green looking at it too  ;D

When did they come out (carefully chosen words!) with the Elton John edition rooky?????   ;D

OMG, and Glen makes fun of my pink and purple......this thing sets a whole new standard for g@yosity...... orange, purple, red, yellow....
Glen, if Elton ever saw this, the color wouldn't be the only thing to stand out  ::)

All that matters is that Al's Big G@y Rocket is significantly g@yer than the green thing pictured below.  I hope to have one by late January.

Anybody interested in buying a RTF Tornado?  I have one for sale.

---

lol...that's funny Mark!

That is one very cool jet!!!

Brian

Ultra flash eh Mark. You know they do them in other colors than green right ? Did colin help you pick that one out ?  ;D

Just kidding, besides anything will look great as long as you park it next to the elton jet.

Saw you're getting rid of your Tornado, she's a beauty but I'd have to sell a lot of blood to get it  :'(

LOL.  Thats a nice plane indeed. Except for the green!
Going to be a very interesting year 2012.

So Mark are you going to do a build thread on the Ultra Loogie? ;D I could not resist LOL

Sandy,same "Brit" pilot as I have in my Spit.
Are you intending to finish your Hurricane for the warbirds meet?

He better, since he doesn't have to spend all winter reinforcing landing gear plates  ;D

1) Dan - Yes

2) Glen - bo

Yes Dan, Stanford Tuck did fly Spits before he got to the "brick lorry" as he called the hurricane, so it's historically accurate to show him in both....

Mark, got out to see the Elton jet........well totally



G

@

Y

but compared to the loogie it's not too bad......

seems like an awful lot of Freudian compensation going on tho amongst a certain element here -  "mine's biggern yours"..."mine's red n stuff not green" .... "mine'll be fastern yours" "I need 3 dozen servos yours only need 2 dozen.."

Heavy Metal rules.......!!

LOL

Sandy
;D

Come to think of it, I bet I could get the drill press to fly if I put a turbine on it.  :D

boys, boys, boys...

When you boil it down, Al has a big gay rocket.  Would you rather be flying a Loogie or a BGR?  And besides, we all know mine will be faster and more powerful.  That measly 140 is just a toy.  The Ultra Flash has been documented achieving speeds approaching 250 mph with a 160 sized turbine.  Mine will have a 170.   :D

I may just do that....but given the tough crowd on here....I think that whatever i do, it will be considered "limp wristed".   :-*

ok boys....it is time for a "add that caption" contest.  The person who comes up with the g@yest caption wins the contest.  First place wins a kick in the groin.  Second place wins 2 kicks in the groin and so on.  You will also notice that the picture is appropriately called "love at first sight".

How much does it weigh?

How about "Elton and his #1 fan"   ;D
It's going to be tuff to beat love at first sight !


As far as the drill press goes I'm gonna need about 100lbs of thrust ;D ;D ;D ;D

"maybe we should do this behind the store..." LOL

2 Jet Central Mammoths would give you 96lbs and with a lifetime warranty you will be all set.  I wonder if the warranty covers damage from falling drill presses?

LOL

Al: "just let it happpen"

BGR: "I feel dirty"

How about "love in a parking lot" ?

Looks like he couldn't even wait till he got to a gas station washroom  ;D

That closet is a bit on the small side.  ;D

I have to admit, Santa was pretty good to me this year. I woke up only to find a futaba 8fgs, nexstar arf and ember2 under the tree. I also had a little time in Mississauga to visit the folks over at Hobby Hobby, I went in to look and left with a top flite gold edition p-40 and a sexy little cnc swash for my msr... However, I have made a pact with myself... The p-40 is staying in the box until next year... (that is is mike doesn't get into it first as I had it shipped to his house lol)

Welcome aboard Dave.   It not safe having your stuff sent to Whitey's house.  It may get lost in his collection. ;)

Lol

"Long pointy thing, wrapped in plastic, in a box....."  :D Being New Years day should we do a top 100 count down on the possible captions??

Sorry Al. It's there for the taking. My entry into the kick in the N@!%s contest:

"If I start it right now, I'll have it ready for the parade"

---

Glen bye.... think outside the box - turbine mounted to the deck, pointing up, attached by a coupling to the chuck.....  ::)
attach a prop to the top of the pulley and you have one OMG turboprop  :o just think of the possibilities  :-?

Hey Al. I shouldn't be throwing around parade pokes when i fly a "fantasy colored" Yak. Go figure!

Oh. you mean that witness protection thingy?  :D :D :D

So, let's get back on topic. Mike exactly what parade were you referring to ?  ::)

The happy rainbow one of course.

I bet there's a couple of Elton's that attend that parade.

I heard through the grapevine that the new logo for the parade bears a striking resemblance to the BGR both in form and color.
