[Gmoney]

I love events and this one lived up to all my expextations. I was there until dark on Saturday and despite destroying my R90 on my first flight of the day I managed to get seven flights in on my good friend and mentor Chad Sackmans R90.. Guys without friends we all would fly alone.. SACK thanks Bro I ahd a killer day because of your kindness. NO kidding guys he handed over his R90 (probally the best flying R90 around) YOU ROCK.. The demos the pros just hanging with my bros it all rocked.. Cant wait for the next one..

Hey Jason,

Thanks for all your work on this. It was an awesome experience for me and I had a blast meeting such cool people.

Only one problem. Much of the flying was lower than the little wooden safety barrier (designed to keep taxing planes out of peoples ankles) and I couldn't see much of the flights. :)

Unbelievable.

Don't worry I got some great video of the flights. They will be up in the Video forum soon...

This event rocked and was way better than I expected. Too bad I could only make it Saturday (next time guys don;t hold it on Mothers day weekend ;) )
Anyway looks like another event I will have on my calendar every year :)

Here's the pics where Mark started on the paint and then a few of it after I got it back. Most people thought it was just a funky looking heli canopy until I had to point out that it was my prosthetic. :shock:

I tried to get the pics with the most detail, but the blue is a little hard to see. Mark does an amazing job and I'll definately be ordering a few canopies from him in the future! :thumbup:

HAHAH !! I saw him doing that, and I thought thats a cool way to hold a canopy while painting.... I was going home to go buy some expando foam, and put a piece of PVC in my old shoe... Still, very awesome... You have a bad-ass prosthetic now.

[skunkworx]

Yeah it sure is. :thumbup: It's tough enough getting stared at because I lost my leg, but now nobody has to feel uncomfortable about staring! Thanks a million to Mark, Dwayne and the rest of the guys with Over The Top DesignZ and PureTech. This has been a truly life changing event for someone like myself, and it was a really unique thing to have happen right there in the middle of such a cool event to begin with!

That turned out SWEET!! That was cool to see it come together like that...

You gotta let us know how many girls you pick up at Magic Mountain because of it. :)

[Finless]

That is kick arse! I hope you also got a matching canopy ;)
