I tried peeling it to stick it on the plane I brought to NEAT, but it wouldn't come apart. I will likely PFM it on.

Is it supposed to be used for any particular purpose?

Thanks,

Hey Paul,

I think it's just a nice little collectible item. Think I'm going to stick mine on the front of one of my shop cabinets

BTW great seeing you there. True dedication to drive three hours, get in a handful of flights, then trek back same day. You should consider staying overnight next year - I highly recommend it

Paul.... there was nothing to peel (I hope). It's just pure virgin nylon (and Rit dye).

RTV should stick it to most things, PFM should work too. If you putting on another porous surface, epoxy works best.

put a hole in it and make it a key chain fob!

It was a really "wild" time.

Tom, Without a doubt, you TOOK!! the EasyStar combat event. (Just watch the video, you were clobbering or "Hunting" :-) all the time you were in the air).
Good Job as always with this years's NEAT and hats off to the crew.

Looking forward to NEAT 2010

You think he's MEAN with an EasyStar Al? You should have to fly combat with him on the monthly club contest!

It's a race to finish in 2nd place!

You guys have "monthly" combat !!!! Well that's one way to keep the hanger count down :-). Sounds like fun.
Certainly Tom looked very tenacious in the pursuits and very adept on the sticks. Glad I don't have him on my "tail".

Al,

Our combat is with GWS slow sticks. Maximum 2 cells on brushless, 3 on brush systems. It does keep the eye "keen" and teaches you how to look for the other guy without piling your own into the ground!

best is when Tom tows a streamer around with one of his bigger planes for us to chase and try to cut

... Shhh, dont tell, but I usually dont aim for the streamer

Petefoss · Oct 09, 2009, 04:21 PM

That's the best way to hit the streamer AND miss the tow plane. Aim for the towplane and you'll never hit it!

It's amazing how much sky there is when you're TRYING to hit something and how little there seems to be when you're avoiding contact.
