Awesome pictures, Paul. I will bug Richard to get on his tonight.

Sparky, it was fun, but not the same without you!

CD Dale Womack and FARM Club president Bobby Moran presented the SMALL awards on Saturday afternoon.

SMALL always has its dedicated Cox Skycopter and Saucer contingent flying everything they've got. The regulars are Steve Staples, Kevin Wilfong, Hollis Fenn, Dan Berry, and I will ID the others when you PM me their names.

There are always monocopters at small and here are the two I saw. Hollis Fenn flew the yellow one and Dan Berry flew the red striped one.

There is a thread with Charybdis plans and Berkeley helicopter plans here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1434686

Steve launched while Kevin piloted. Steve's 10 High was a 70's free flight design that he put a radio in and powers with a Cox TD .049 with a throttle sleve.

Larry Askren flew this canard design patterned after a model that flew at the Inter-X Meet in Europe.

Steve Staples, Kevin Wilfong, and Carl Hock flew in circles at SMALL.

A dedicated group of pilots flew rubber powered free flight at SMALL in ideal wind conditions. It was almost indoor weather outdoors.

The Ringer is a Roy Clough design from the 90's. Steve's is powered by an MP Jet .061.

At SMALL 2010, Larry Askren sold me a built and not far from flying Klingberg Rocket Wing. Tom Blakeney had mounted a piggy back launcher on my Apprentice and Tom thought that rigging the Wing to launch off of the carrier rack on the Apprentice wouldn't be too hard. Last year we got one flight which turned itself in to a free flight and we didn't try it again until we got to SMALL 2011.

Paul Willenborg piloted the Apprentice, while Tom Blakeney flew the Rocket Wing, and I took the pictures.

There were four successful rocket boosted flights out of six. On one the igniter did not start the motor and the other the release servo was not hooked up.

Naturally, two weeks later Tom and I were talking about this and we both asked ourselves the question: Why didn't we put keychain cameras on both planes to get some really interesting video?

If anyone got any videos of these flights, please feel free to post them or a link to them in this thread.

Richard

Yeah Richard.

Thanks for the pictures

Larry

Here are some pictures of the great FARM Club Field and the pits.

Here is my RBC Kits Flying Flea on a cow hunting mission. It found a bunch of them.
