It is these new projects that you speak about that I am sure keep "the lab" burning the midnight oil.

Can't wait to see what comes out of the lab next.

I hope you can get a few more flights in before you officially sign off for the season.

Thank you again for all the help that you have provided me.

I hope you all had a wonderful flying season and manage to squeeze out as many decent days to catch a few flights before the weather turns.

Some of you will brave the cold and snow and fly well into the winter ( Personally ..getting a bit old for that myself )

For myself...this past Holiday weekend was spent final tweaking the fleet for ( at least for me the last ) the NEAT funfly.
The folks @ FMA were kind enough to invite me to accompany them for the weekend, should be a lot of fun...

Yes..... pictures and video will follow, need to get Howard on the sticks of the 800's

Afterwards...Time to discharge the lipo's and store the fleet till next season, and hopefully get to start few new projects ( The lab never sleeps )

So to all of you, stay healthy and fly safely

Thanks NF, and it has been quite a season as far as your lab, fleet and activities have been concerned

Kinda sadto hear of winding down but I am sure the grey cells won't be.

This reminds me of this Italian move, I saw a while ago, about this hotel that in the summer season is all parties and beautiful people and come autumn it suddenly looks all abandoned and sad with grey skys autumn leafs and just the summer memories lingering

BTW Tonight starts the big conversion of my T-Rex600NSP to ESP. All parts are in so tear up, clean and build up. Got a K-Force 150A ESC and Scorpy 4025-1100KV+15T running on 6S 5000mAh 25C.

Geez guys, this is depressing me like "This is Goodbye or Until We Meet Again."

That along with the overcast/rainy weather we have in the PNW

Never mind, I'll just go jump off a bridge or play in traffic or something

No, no, no Mel.

We have just come to the understanding that we must allow the Professor his quality time in his Lab, to share with us his next creation.

There's little difference between a high end electric and the real thing ... only those who own the real thing get to fly around and feel more cool

[Navigator53]

Really like website CrazyHeli!

Great job on the flight training video

An 850 is no challenge, just swap out the blades on eith of my 800's....

[pril250]

That leaves only Jet Turbine......... Unless you have that T-Shirt already

[nightflyr]

you might be 1/2 correct

[nightflyr]

Finally finished tweaking and dressing up the 800's for the NEAT show..

Comments question or concerns are welcome...

[pril250]

By golly you have been working hard. Can't decide if this is engineering or art LOL. I think you got them like you want them

[Navigator53]

Very Cool Night

I like the flaming skull, Eagle and Werewolf decals

My only concern is you're gonna steal the show at the FMA booth and no one will have any interest in any of their products

[nightflyr]

If ya can't get em' with the "WOW" factor... dazzle em' with the brilliance

What is the metal ring on the tail for and why? And what are the green balls on the lands skids and how do you keep them on?

Thanks

The tail rings are to keep the vertical stabilizers from digging in the ground.

The balls are for cushion ( that bird is a on the heavy side

Speaking of which.....

Curious my friend, did you ever get them to the shop for a weigh-in
