I am really surprised to say the least. From what I have seen, like the one Nate has, you wonder how that thing even gets up with almost nothing on it, and then you tell me, "I hang all this stuff on it" Simply amazing what you can do with these little things.

Someday I like to look at your set up.

Anybody in the SLC area, just post where you will be flying that day and at what time.
I have no time restrictions so could join you.

I can't figure out which park you have a pic from that is called Taylorsville Park.
The one we go to is located on 27th west near 54th south.

Check out the AP Forum... You'll find SlowSticks that weight 35+ oz that are used to fly $$$ digital cameras .

Im rebuilding a new one due to a small encounter with a house a few weeks ago.. I'll post some pictures when im finished.

The park generally called Taylorsville Park "Tree farm" is actually Valley Park.

OK, who in SLC is flying today and where ?

Looks really nice out there right now.....

[nybpete]

I wish I could. My WW isn't ready yet, and I haven't had a chance to replace the stripped gears/servos in my Unicorn.

I wish I could but I have finals all week.

[indoruwet]

Oh my...
It is just perfect today.
First time ever, I caught the wing out of the air, have been practicing.....

Neatest thing with a bit of wind.
Go way up, straight over your head, cut the motor, point it into the wind and add throttle, see how long I can fly that thing like a kite.
Pain in the neck tho.....

Hej Lee, that thing is a floater and a half, but then you already knew that.

My last experience of flying into the midle of the lacross game was very humiating but at least no one ran over my plane. Thats a great resource on your page. Thanks for sharing. Let us know when and where your going to be flying and im sure your likely to find someone who would like to fly nearby.

Well my friend has actually flown his plane from the back of my truck while driving! So flying next to a road doesn't seem to bother me. In my opinion the lacross players are a worse threat! I guess next time he does that I will have to mount my mini video camera to the plane.

You should put a link to daves flying location site on the utahflyers site.

[natetanr]

[nybpete]

No worries Nate. Good luck on your finals.

Hmm.. Just got the Taylorsville/Kerns Journal.
They are talking about the upcoming Taylorsville Dayz.
And, yes, you're right. The park is mentioned as "Valley Regional Park".
