Super Day at Buder Park !!!!

Super Day at Buder Park !!!!
Well, as you know, I met up with Ron and his bud yesterday out on the beautiful circles of Buder Park in St. Louis for some Control-Line Hijinks!. We hooked up with St. Louis Dan and Robert (Sparky) from Stunt Hangar, and had us a big ole day !
Ron had brought along his Traveling Engine-equipped Flying Clown, with the company of a couple more planes, and I was packing my recently acquired "Quiet Zone" PT-19, some other PT back-ups, and my faithful Jetco 'Shark 15'.
The Shark is still a bit cranky when it goes inverted, and is gonna get looked-at for some fuel tank air leaks or other gremlins. Still, it managed to miss the ground the whole time, blasting around behind it's Enya .19, and coming back home in one piece.
I test-flew my QZ PT-19, complete with muffler...apparently somewhat to the amazement of Dan and Sparky. Figure that the poor PT is a bit below these guys' radar!
Ron puts some serious MoJo on the little QZ-PT !
Power Climb!
Had a great time anyway, watching the little red and white trainer make it's leisurely laps over the grass inside the asphalt circle. Even pulled off a reasonably good landing ! September 20th...HERE WE COME !

Re: Super Day at Buder Park !!!!
Boom!!!
You just blew my mind!
Great pictures Kim, you even caught one of me holding the Minado while Sparky tweaked the flaps.
Glad to see you got all those great photo's. I was in my own little world on the "short bus" circle.
Had a great time man.

That's fantastic!
And yeah, I can't believe Sparky let you hold his Minado. Great adventure.

Re: Super Day at Buder Park !!!!
Yeah, that Minado is something... Phew! I can only hope to build like that.
I find it funny that everyone stopped to watch the little PT-19 do laps. That's Sparky and Dan McEntee in the background beside me and my pal Moonie.
Kim failed to mention that I biffed the Super Clown after a flameout at the top of the circle. The Epoxy is drying as I write this. You should have seen the spinner explode!!!!

My policy, at least where other guys' mishaps are concerned:
"What happens at Buder...STAYs at Buder !!!"
One of those "Wingman Ethos" things.....

No, and I SHOULD have! I had the looper with me, but got caught up in flying the QZ and other great stuff, and forgot all about it! There SHALL be loops on the 20th though!
Our flying at Buder Park will be late in the day, after a contest they're hosting, or...I MAY try to sneak up there early if Ron can meet up before the contest. I got three or four scattered spots to hit that day, so the new Assault Van is gonna get some 300 miles put on it !!!
