Tuesday Night Combat

[Richard]

I'll be there as well. I think I should have FoamBat fixed up and ready to go. Just need to glue the firewall back in and I'm good to go. Hopefully we'll have some full contact e-combat with the f-bats.
Need to charge the batteries on Enigma as well.

See ya there.

Tomorrow night (April 13, 2010) I will have two FoamBats and my e-caution and a Caution ready for flight or FIGHT! See you there!!!!

[Groundhog]

Here we go again.... I should be there Tuesday night for some combat
Provided Mother Nature agrees that is.
See you on the field, and YES I still have a few ribbons if you did not have a chance to make some over the winter....

[Richard]

I'll be there this Tuesday night June 2. Dusted off Enigma, charged batteries and even got some fresh fuel....
Have to fix up a few of my Cautions.....battle damage from previous years. Might bring my new VIPER to test fly again.....way way too fast for me. Turns on a dime and then leaves change.

Need to redesign the wing profile. Presently its a simitar, but with this profile, inverted flight is a dogs breakfast....need to go with fully sym or semi sym profile.

See ya on the field.

Plane is repaired, I will be there Tuesday night (Septembetr 2, 2008).
Hope to see you there.

Given the thunderstorm, I will not be flying tonight (August 5, 2008).
I will be in the basement, gluing something to someting else, preferably not my to fingers.

[Groundhog]

I am not sure I will be there on the 8th of July. Very busy at work. I will try but no promises. Anyway thay announce rain....

[Groundhog]

I think I have permission to come out and play on Tuesday night (June 3, 2008). I will have my Enigma ready to fly, but I am not sure I am ready to put it through a combat session just yet. This plane never flew with a ribbon attached and I am unsure about its performance..
Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can see you on the field Tuesday night.

Here is the body of an email from Mike...aka....Crash with the results of yesterdays slow combat escapade


Hi Guys
It was one of those crazy nights, the engines roared, the planes were set to go, darn it.
Guy was in the air, first, then Johnson, second or maybe it was Johnson first, it's kind of clouded right now.
Mike was just getting started when his prop hit the table, darn that prop-
no damage - Got it going again.
Then, Mike forgot to put up the antenna. Mike is so disorganized. Then, the tail ribbon had blown down the length of the table. man what a .......!
One of the pit crew extended the antenna.
The enigma was off, a big dip, but it was in the air. The Enigma made it.
Meanwhile, Mike's Caution lamely sat on the table, because Mike had trouble starting, he shook the firewall loose from the body.
Gosh, he said, would never have happened to an electric.

Back to the sortie, Johnson & Guy were hard at it, We were finally doing it, combatting each other, occasionally Mike
lost orientation, couldn't tell whether his tail was up or down, these old guys, shouldn't be flying.
Then Johnson ran out of fuel, he was out.
Then Guy and Mike were only ones left, upside down right side up, hell was happening on earth... in the air.
Then Guy came up out of nowhere and the enigma, mikes' treasured, beloved plane got hit (looks like crap)
First the wing came off, then at full speed a rocket shot from the sky and entered mother earth, buried the motor in mud
4 inches in, thank the stars it wasn't a hard one. Then the wing took its sweet time to hit the ground.
At last but least. mikes ribbon was the last part to hit the ground. Guy scored big, but he too lost his plane,
Guy's last words...it's going in the garbage. Mike extends his thanks to the crowd that gathered to
assist in the cleanup operations of these 2 valiant pilots, enjoying comraderie .

Mike, knew that his plane could be saved and he went home
thoughtfully, carefully thinking on how to revive his beauty. The wife was shaving, she didn't see him enter the house.


Thanks for a great night, whoever wasn't (you know who you are) there missed an enjoyable evening.

Goodnight good fellas.


All the best! Pray for great weather. I'll be back!

Mike
