i third the tip jar! damn good wings :noteworthy
"Rodney,
Henry called last night and wanted for me to ask you if Compass has finished production on the training gear. I suspect he's feeling a little nervous with the upcoming event. The one's with HC printed on the ping pong balls I think is what he had in mind."
i thought those where HC's balls??:shock:

I hear there are pics of HC floating around on the net here and there,. He must be using then on the Aurora as I dont think the Knight 3D can pick them up.

Does anyone have 3 HS5245, 9650, 9257, or JRsomething that I can borrow for the weekend for my 500? Everyone seems to be out of stock of the 5245s but I'm willing to wait for them if I can have my 500 for bham.

sitting at a BP station a at exit 6, up from the field, its chilly, and a bit windy, but that's drying it all out pretty well.
I'll see the field from 459, but I'm pretty sure its still there.. :)

Most likely he'll be at the FF and if you contact him before he leaves Tx., then if he has what you need, he'll bring it with him.

Been out the field today to set up for the event. It was a beautiful day here. Temps in the 60's and very light breeze. Field is in great shape and awaiting the first arrivee. And I think that will happen tomorrow evening. Got a call on the way to the field this AM. The person on the other end said they were tired of shoveling snow and would be here Monday evening. They should have a great week to enjoy the field.
Here is the forecast for the field from the NOAA as of today.
Monday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 66. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph.
Monday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 40. North wind around 5 mph becoming calm.
Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 62. Calm wind becoming north around 5 mph.
Tuesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 38. Northwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm.
Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 69.
Wednesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 43.
Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 72.
Thursday Night: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 49.
Friday: A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 71. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Friday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 51.
Saturday: Partly sunny, with a high near 71.

Not everyone is out of 5245's. Try B&B Hobbies. One set left. We should be at Bham assuming the weather holds. Will also have full line of trex's.
Just to let you know!
NO Align does NOT have anything to do with this shirt.
It's just a concept I came up with. David let me decide which heli's to use.
Also the two heli's will be reversed so everything looks right. I'll even put a muffler on one side! It's the front of the shirt this year that will be the "BIG" surprise!
FWIW: Looks like there will be a Synergy on Hodges Hobbies shirt, a Logo 500 on the Chattanooga Shirt & Huntsville...is open for suggestions!
And the Heli Invasion Shirt will have a MA Stratus on it.
