I'm hoping to fly tomorrow at noon at the Vineyard sportspark.

jwjohnson · Nov 03, 2009, 10:31 PM

I'm planning on being there. The weather looks good so far.

Darren Hintze · Nov 04, 2009, 10:00 AM

I may throw a glider in and try to be there today too for a flight or two

Wind_of_Change · Nov 04, 2009, 11:35 AM

I'll bring my glider and try to figure out how to get a combat plane working again.

jwjohnson · Nov 04, 2009, 04:32 PM

Beautiful Day! Great combat fun. I swapped the motor from my McClain wing to my Titan and flew it in combat the whole time. Went through 7 2200mAh packs. Got to hit everyone there including a pair of nice head on hits - one with Lee and one with Todd. Not to mention a bunch of ticks and near misses as well a bunch of ordinary hits with Todd. I did manage to get some elevon flutter on the Titan in a full speed dive from about 400'. Stopped as soon as I backed off on the throttle. I was flying one of those scimitar shaped 7x6 props from HC ( they act like they have a higher pitch than the APC style 7x6's) on the 3530-1700 with a fresh battery pak. Never saw a problem in level flight, nor again even in a dive. It's great to be able to count on friends to whack your plane when you need it.

After fussing around in the air with my Pinata Gordo, which is a crappy build of a plane and barely flies, Jeff gave me a shaft from one of his dead motors and I swapped it out at the field with the shaft in my Wild Wing Max motor, which snapped at the base last Saturday. Took 5-10 minutes to do, but I got it flying again and WOW that old Wild Wing Max is a great plane. Very similar in flying characteristics to the Unicorn.

Once that plane was up, combat became really fun again. Wow, Jeff and I were doing some serious aerial ballet, barely missing each other hundreds of times, dancing in and out of each other's shadows and wake.

I can't believe how fantastic the weather was today. Hopefully it holds until Saturday.

Hi. I'm the new guy. So I see you guys fly over in vinyard. Do you just fly at the park or where? I am new toer to rc airplane but would like a place to fly closer than springville. I fly at pleasant grove jr high but sometimes it would be nice to fly with other people.

chicken hawk · Nov 04, 2009, 08:39 PM

Hi new guy. Welcome to the thread. Wednesday flying happens at Vinyard and Saturday flying has been pretty consistent at a sod farm North of Vinyard. We only have permission to fly at the Sod farm on Saturdays so we don't interfere with the farms sod removal. Keep an eye on this thread. People will often post before flying. By the way, we all fly electric.

Good. I am an electric only guy. I have an account at the sod farm. Its the old emrald turf right?

Wind_of_Change · Nov 04, 2009, 09:43 PM

Welcome JuiceHall. The sod farm we fly at is just North of Vineyard Park off that frontage road. Our web site www.utahflyers.org has maps if you need them. There are several locations we fly from depending on what parts of the farm are being planted or harvested. Just keep your eyes open for planes in the air and cars on the ground and it's never hard to find us on Saturdays.

I live a couple blocks away from PG Junior High, so if you're ever going out to fly there, feel free to PM me here on the group. I check in with the forum 3 or 4 times a day. I never go fly alone (unless maidening a plane or something), so I'm happy to hook up to provide some local company... so long as it's not Saturday because I'm an RC combat-aholic... I go where the blood is and that's the sod farm.

juicehall · Nov 04, 2009, 10:02 PM

Awesome. Wich way from the jr high. I am right by central on 200 e and 200 n. I've been wanting to get into combat. I go to the jr hi almost every day. Around 4pm. When are you available

JONBOYLEMON · Nov 04, 2009, 10:18 PM

The call is for S winds all day tomorrow. Finch & I plan on some PM S side sloping tomorrow if the wind blows. Come on up.

Darren Hintze · Nov 05, 2009, 09:42 AM

Hey Jon,

What time are you guys going?

I'm over by Discovery Park.

Availability just depends on the day. But if you go every day, then I'll see if I can swing over there every once in a while at 4.

What are you flying? Usually when I fly there I take my Extra 330 (63") or my Omei sailplane. But if you were to fire up a combat plane, I'd show up fairly regularly for that. We might could even twist the arms of Jon Finch or Jon Lemon to show up on occasion.

Jon, I may be able to make it up to the point today. I'm itching for some slope action. See if you can get Finch to bring his EPP DS ship. I bought the same one he did, and want to see it in action on a regular slope. I may throw it in the build queue earlier than later this fall.
