Los Angeles Heli flyers.

[Lota Fun R]

Got that Rappy ready to rip?
You up to some fresh air?

Not yet, been having to stay still until the staples come out.

[emag remrofni]

Keep us posted Mitch. I want to go fly!

[JaggedEdge]

I've thought about hanging it up but it's not going to happen, I could of done the same thing many different ways. I don't wish anything on anyone but anything can happen at any time, an out of control heli could cause disaster in a blink of an eye, we just don't know what lays ahead.

I could crawl into a safe little box and stop living but be safe from any harm, but that's not living.

I'm of the opinion that you should live while you're alive, not just exist. You never know when that day could come that you are on the sidelines wishing you would of done.........this........or?..............

Be safe but have fun.:smokin:

I look forward to getting out to fly with the group again, soon.

I haven't totally hung it up. Its just not my DD anymore. lol.
On the bench again but.. I'm still having fun (http://youtube.com/watch?v=0AUu2N87H1g) with it.

Glad you're on the mend-up and around.

easy there big guy,I was just commenting on the repair costs getting us down when the 90 goes splat.I've got too many motorcycles and its too hot to ride them. so they sit and wait for a good rainy season, or I got to start burning nobbies on the pavement. ever used the parking stoppers for woops? how about the neighborhood vacant lot , kick up the dust make some noise then split while riding on one wheel through 4 gears. just took a look at the new KTM super duke 990 and it said,"buy me".thats a nice hooligan bike able to make any dirt biker drool.

[Lota Fun R]

The 990 is all that. I've seen a few up the canyons and the guys I saw were haulin ass.

I would get in too much trouble on a motard type bike. :smokin:

I'll have the Rappy fixed soon, takin my time and making sure it's right. :thumbup:

thats what keeps me from buying one. I cant afford the tickets and reckless driving on my class A licence.

[emag remrofni]

Hey I'll be at the Basin tomorrow morning at around 7:30 for anyone that wants to come.

[Lota Fun R]

Wish I had the Rappy ready to go. I have an issue with the tail driveshaft I was sent. One end isn't true, an issue that is not uncommon...and I forgot to call heiproz to get it replaced today. I hope next weekend, I got a bunch of stuff done on it that is new, push pull on everything w/heavy duty servo horns on everything.

I think I can make it next weekend, kinda torn as to where to fly, wanna hang out with the OCMA crew but would like to hang with the Apollo field guys too.....


Need to hook up with Bert and pick up the carbsmart he has for me.

[Lota Fun R]

The top image has a Hot Wheels mystery car in the xray. Actually shown in both pics. Not enough metal to tell what it is.

Second image shows the hardware in my knee as well.

The little circles are staples.

Braaapppppppppppp

[Lota Fun R]

The Raptor is pretty much ready to go. :thumbup:

No more xray photos. :lol:

[emag remrofni]

Mitch,

It looks great! Even better than last time.


Sean,

Get ready to blow the doors off of your TREX 600 Brethren.

[Lota Fun R]

Thanks guys. :thumbup:

Gonna head to Whittier tomorrow "Sunday", early, before it gets hot, 7:30-8, hope to see a few of you guys out there. :YeaBaby:

Perfect weather, not many people so getting flight time was no problem.

The Trex450 spun the cog on the rear pulley and piro'ed in, broke a blade and bent feathering spindle, some super glue and a new set of blades and back in bussiness.

Raptor is flying perfect, even more responsive than before. :YeaBaby: :thumbup: :smokin: :banana

Does anyone know if the Heli area will be open this weekend at Apollo? They have a jet event all weekend, but I'm not sure which events they close the Heli area for...

Thanks
