"NightFlyyer" drops in on RC Eagles club in Denver & flies Gas Extra 260.
Making a trip to visit my Daughter in Denver, brought a response from her that there was an RC flying club in Cherry Creek Park, near Denver. So, I decided to take some small planes and drop in on them when I got there. Well I was pleasantly surprised, as I was welcomed warmly. In fact, I met Tom Bell and Chuck Komes from the old and well established company called Aero-Works. They make some of the best and nicest flying World Class flying machines around. They have have a great reputation. They also make beautiful model pilots.
So of course, my first flight did not start well, as the prop flew off on launch of my (Cox Models F-4U) from GravityHobby.com.
Those planes only cost $17.77 with motors and all hardware and one heck of a deal. The second flight went well as you can see.
I also flew my PZ P-51 with lights and "machine gun lights" to show how a 1 ounce plane can fly in the wind.
I watched the fellows fly, including Clint Strate and his 3D MoJo, Tom Bell, Chuck Komes and others.
Everybody was enjoying this Mother's Day.
Climaxing the day for me was a chance to fly Tom Bell's Extra 260 with Saito.91 Gas engine.
It is a fabulous plane to fly with no bad habits. I got a chance to wring her out. I must say it was a pleasure and an honor.
So thanks kindly, Denver RC Eagles and fly safe.
