The Recovery of Chris' AJ Slick at Charm City (2 min 22 sec)

Well, we got Chris plane out. It was found by Brad and it was in some thick stuff. This is a vid of the boys bringing it out. Nice bunch of guys here in our IMAC group this year. We go get your plane immediately every time if there is a problem. Hopefully Chris will be back up tomorrow. IT WASN'T BAD EXCEPT FOR THE PROP DAMAGE.

Some stuff from the Freestyle event at our IMAC contest today. A friend has some vid of Aaron's run but I didn't take video since I was talking to Aaron and spotting for him. Unfortunately our good friend Chris had his rudder pull the deans apart on both batteries at the end of this vid. The plane went in but was thankfully only lightly damaged. I've got some vid of the recovery project too but we'll see. I may post it. Anyway, enjoy... we'll be flying IMAC again tomorrow and there will be another freestyle, so, more vids coming...

CHARM CITY IMAC FREESTYLE 2012 DAY 1 (15 min 49 sec)

Evening of the Slick 062912 (6 min 27 sec)

We had about an hour... drove to the field and realized we left the radios at home... drove home and back... and got a video and two flights in... sometimes that's the way the day goes. Two flights is twice as good as no flights I suppose. Anyway, hope you enjoy and sorry we haven't had much up lately. We built an Edge 540 recently and put that in due to an aileron pushrod failure last night LOL

But, that can be pieced back together without too much effort. Contest this weekend and working on the Extra to get ready for that now. Again our luck, drove all the way to a field an hour and a half away last weekend, put the 60cc Extra together, ready to fly and no surfaces moving at all. Long story short, JR921X with only one remote receiver and one of the wires to that satelite had broken which makes the whole receiver useless. Glad it was found on the ground though and we're running two sats from now on... SCARY stuff... 3 hours of driving last weekend and no flying that day... see how it goes sometimes...

I'm glad the good days are good enough to offset that stuff

We had an IMAC contest two weekends ago in DE and this past weekend was dedicated to flying at our most local field... and, for kicks on Saturday, we were in the control tower at the next closest airfield. The Blue Angels were using the field for take offs and landings while doing their show for Baltimore's "War of 1812 - Sailabration"

Anyway, we have some vids ready to put up but need time because we've been working on a few small planes in the meantime. Catch up soon...

IMAC Freestyle (4 min 8 sec)

This is Aaron flying an electric 3DHS 51" AJ SLICK followed up by Chris Thorpe of 3DHS flying an electric 89" Slick. This was during the Freestyle portion of our IMAC Event. The Slick(s) really do everything well. As you can see, Aaron's style is more tumbling, rolling and points. Chris is very controlled, precise and graceful. I was excited to find this on Youtube already since we didn't get video and he just flew it yesterday... Anyway, enjoy.

Here's a little flight from this evening in the yard. This is a smooth flying light weight little EPP airframe that's great for practicing here in the yard. You can't find anything easier to build and more resilient to some wear and tear... Got Welders?

Another section of the One Trick Contest... I think there may even be one more...

Nall One Trick Contest 2012 Pt 2.MOD (11 min 15 sec)

I decided to document a little golf cart ride through Nall this year. We're riding from about where the big pond is and on down to our home on the 3D flight line. We saw Jim T Graham on the way down and he showed off his golf cart's secret weapon.

Gabby is one of the nicest people we ever met. My video doesn't really do the show justice but I tried. We flew with Gabriel for 5 days or so on the 3D flight line and all we can say is what a nice, humble and talented guy he is. He was really nice to Aaron and I really appreciate that. I hope you enjoy the Nall vids. I am putting them up as fast as I can.

The one trick contest from Joe Nall 2012. Some great flying here with some great people.

Nall One Trick Contest 2012.MOD (28 min 59 sec)

I couldn't video too much because of spotting and the fact that there were up to four pilots flying 3D at the same time but I did get a couple minutes. Aaron is just getting the motor through the second gallon at this point so still breaking it in. It looked like Cody's tune up had it running nicely. Enjoy...
