Thought I'd open a thread on this coming weekend's R/C event over at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. A place to post pictures of the event (please!!), share information, etc.
Also, for those of you lucky enough to be going this next weekend (alas, I won't be - saving my gas money for Dayton at the end of the month), I need a favor. Somebody please look up Bob Spears, and buy him a brew of his choice for me. You'll know him by the very neat looking brand new Flair Fokker Dr.1 Triplane he has painted up as Cole's original rotary powered plane:
I was in New Hampshire a couple of weeks ago on vacation, and met Bob at the Warbirds over New England flyin - the missus and I were on our way to the airport to return to the midwest. We arranged for our godchildren and their folks to meet us there for a couple of hours as well, as they'd never seen R/C planes in action. Bob was most gracious in offering (insisting, actually) that I borrow the club trainer to give Crista and Casey a quick lesson on the buddy box. They couldn't believe it - and really enjoyed the day (as did we all).
(That's Bob in the White Hat coaching the kids - the good guys always wear White Hats - I'm the one in the Black Hat!)
Sooooo . . . somebody please buy this fine gentleman a brew on me - you know I'm good for it if you can make it to Dayton!
Anyhoo, good luck to all attending Rhinebeck this next weekend, and let's see some pictures!!!
'til later,
