NEAT sunday 9-17-19
After the festivities were over, late in the day, Arnie and Freddy decided to fetch Alan W's Polaris out of the tree that attacked on Saturday night.
Once we got it back, I bound it to my old DX7 and sent it up for a flight. Tom

While it was hanging there glowing all nite long, people kept asking what kind of battery it was to last that long .. My answer ?
.. A TREE CELL Battery, of course ![]() ![]() Thanks gang for an awesome effort. That plane has now flown at 5 NEAT Fair's logging at least 100 flights .. one night last year I flew 24 flights alone with the last one being around 3:30a. I bought it prebuilt at NEAT from Dan@Lazertoys .. he lit it up for me and it was the first plane I ever maidened at night ![]() There's some kind of psychokinetic energy @ Peaceful Valley that makes it more and more difficult to fly as the night carry's on (not quite sure what it is .. I think it has something to do with CH3CH2OH or C2H6O), so it has been repaired more times than it has a right to fly .. but it always comes alive again the next day with the help of glue, tape, carbon, popsicle sticks, and help from friends I'm so ecstatic my Polaris XL will live to see another NEAT |

I was there with you the night you bought that bird and I was standing right next to you for the maiden. I was also there with you the FIRST time you flew it into the woods at NEAT!! LOL Seems everytime I fly at night during NEAT, it's either right along side my plane or somewhere in the sky with it. It seems only fitting she comes back, it's the staple of night flying at NEAT! Freddy and I tried gettin it down Sunday by throwin rocks at it. Obviously it didn't work!! Maybe you should switch to Footuba radio gear so these things quit happening to you!
