Big Bird Fly In

[itsme]

Hey guys wassup today and tomorrow at our local airstrip is the Big Bird Fly In, so i loaded up my digi cam, vid cam, plane and controller and headed out to the strip, there was over 60 Big Birds there from Bi Planes to 1/3rd scale .60 size aircraft, those are some bigass planes, compared to my little .40 size plane, which i had someone offer me cash for it today and i jumped on it, i know i know you guys really wanted to see vid of me flying it but to me it was way to pretty looking of a plane for me to get it up there and possible bring it down in pieces, so i jumped on the offer, it went to someone with way more experience then me and patience, but being there brought a whole new understanding of what it takes to get these things up there and keep them up there especially the large scale planes. But i did take some pics of what was there so here they are.

I flew it breifly and decided its best that i leave it on the ground I'm just to nervous about it coming down in pieces, I've spent to much $$$ on rc's lately to have one of them go up in smoke, but hey check out these links to some pretty awesome vids

I know you are bro, i had it up for a few and brought it back safely and thats all i needed, my nerves were freaking me out to much while it was up so i made the decision just to calm my nerves and sell it, plus for that price i couldnt pass it up, i needed the extra $$$ for my up and coming new project so i have a good jump on it with these funds.

What happened to the pics???

Sorry to hear you sold your plane.
Those are some big aircraft, aren't they?

I went out to our field Sunday. Most of the guys there fly .40 or .60 size.
One guy was tearing it up with a little brushless electric. Straight up vertical. Trips me out how far these have came in the last few years.

Had a good time, hope to get a couple of my planes back in the air this year.


Almost forgot... I lost my bashing site. Haven't had anyone to bash with either. There was a guy I went to school with there. Hadn't seen him for years. He is talking about making an offroad track. Hope to try it before long.
