Jetero Field looks great. Everything looks good for some serioius streamer chasing.

Went out and joined in with that group yesterday. About 10 pilots flying various SSC type aircraft. Forrestry tape streamers due to the wet conditions. No easy cuts. It had been about 6 months since I last had a chance to visit and fly. This group very safety minded in order to preserve good vibes w...

Mike, Try making a strap on bladder where you can fly and see if the bladder is getting a glitch while in the wing. Be sure and use similiar bladder and just take a few #64 rubber bands with a clove hitch knot on foth ends of bladder. I usually fasten bladder to somewhere just aft on trailing edge o...

Tell him you heard that his wife has the "best start combat" vocal ever produced.

Tips on flying in contest that you CD: 1. Get CD from Rick Farley "Start Combat". This takes a huge load off the routine of starting heats and keeping time during heat. 2. Make a "Won/Loss" board- After all sign up complete, list your entries alphabetically and have pilots write ...

There are several things that need more discussion on this issue and a bit of more precise definitions. 1. FT be a abbreviation for "Flagging tape" which is NON-biodegradeable plastic and requires pick up after a contest. 2. FST be an abbreviation for "forestry tape" which is bio...

Just to add a note to Roy's comments about building Lee's 3696. I have the P-51 at the covered stage waiting for me to do decals and cut outs for esc,batt,etc. I used Zaggi tape charcoal gray with yellow on underside if wing. One of the secrets to a nice covering job with this tape is to use the hea...

Their club members would go out on a four wheeler and recovrer your plane!!! What a deal. Cajun you sure got a great group. Also that ...

Very ingenious. Nice work Randy.

What a great contest. It was heart warming seeing old friends and making new ones. The GSW club with their president Tim Lovett are a combat friendly bunch. We will be seeing more big meets at this field in the future. Congrads to all the winners and a big thank you to all who put forth the effort t...
