A new conversion to the “Attack van”. >>>>

Oh You Guys !!!

Just one little slip of the keyboard Kim and see what you get!

I’m sorry Kim. You wrote it just fine, I just didn’t read it correctly.

It's all in good humor Ron, and I'm sure Kim understands that. If we didn't like the guy so much it would be different.

I KNOW!!! This is great fun!

I've always been a fan of Gallows Humor!

Update and thoughts on "Breezy Hill's 1/2A Day"
Update:  April 3rd

Trying to keep all the stuff for our 1/2A Day in one spot ('till we get it all locked down and post our "Official Rules" ---humor there:).

This may clutter the Event Calendar for a while, but the 17th and 18th will be on us quickly, and it all will be transferred to it's own post.  Please keep in mind that this is ALL about fun, and the rules will be viewed with a "looseness" to serve that mission!

Proposed Event Rules for our Breezy Hill 1/2A Day (both control line):
======================
"Most Loops"

3 Classes:
Babe Bee (6cc Tanks)
Golden Bee Tanks (8cc Tanks).
Black Widow (8cc Tanks).

Hand or Wheel Launch.
Pilot must complete one level lap (to give the launchers time to run!)...Judge will call, "Now!" as this lap is completed
The pilot then pulls as many loops as he dares with his remaining fuel.  Stall/Spin incidents will be counted as one loop, and added to his tally in recognition of his sacrifice.
------------------------------
"Longest Lines"
3 Classes:
Babe Bee
Golden Bee
Black Widow and Others

I've got some 10lb "Spiderwire" with handles and lines starting at 50ft...but we may make up new sets if the competition becomes "Heated".

Wheel or Hand Launch
Counted Laps begin at launch.
Pilot MUST complete 5 laps for Official Flight (this may be changed according to the perceived ridiculousness of the flight).
-----------------------------------

This IS just a s draft, and any suggestions/opinions are requested.
We got to keep it simple to have fun though!
===============================

OK, here's the plan...at the moment anyway.  I'm sure there are gonna be some other changes, but we're narrowing it down:

From the Breezy Hill R/C Flyers Facebook Page:

Breezy Hill's "1/2A Day"

One day of cold, damp air, followed by one with warm, sunny skies, both with plenty (and I mean PLENTY) of engine tinkering, jokes and laughter...and great food served up by President Ronnie.

Nitro was burning and castor oil was slinging as assorted versions of Leroy Cox's tiny engines either screamed or sputtered, or both, with new airframes and old dinosaurs taking to the air.

Allen Bagg had a small fleet of planes, but had some engine problems, and did some "mix and match" with their parts, giving him a hyper-speed combat wing to fly on Sunday.

Leo's typically high performance engines hauled their planes around their circles, with some crazy great stunts by his Medallion .049-powered Ringmaster flying on 60 FOOT LINES!!!!
His Medallion apparently has an identity crisis, and thinks it's a Tee Dee.

Allen also rounded up some prizes, with SIG sending a Mini Zilch kit and two bottles of SIG bond glue, along with Brodak giving dealer cost on a Baby Clown.

Mixed in with this are some balsa and foam gliders which will be given to kids who can attend our little get-togethers.
Thanks to Steven Jany and Alvin Petrowske for their continued great work in keeping Breezy Hill looking so good, and to President Ronnie for feeding us!

Thanks to everyone for the great time!

Here's an album of the weekend...some photos were previously posted, but I wanted to get them all in one lump, and there will probably be others pop up as they're found:

Enjoyed your pictorial Kim, as usual.

60' lines. Spyder wire I would think?

Three cheers for Little Toot!

Looked like fun Kim.

That was Fun!! Thanks Kim , 60' WoW !

Thanks Guys! Yes, we had a big time.

It was 5 lb spectra

Looks like it was a great time, Thanks for sharing!

Flying.049 on long lines is intriguing, I would like to know a little more about it if possible...What are the major challenges?...How can you design or modify to better handle this?....

Maybe Leo will check in here, but I believe he just made up the lines and went for it. His Medallion-Powered Ringmaster seemed to have no problem pulling the 5lb Spectra lines, and all the extra sky really let the little plane play.
