Thanks for the kind words Ed! We enjoyed ourselves as well. I would post the pictures and report of Sundays meet except, as you thought might be the case, I've been locked out of the gallery and cannot get any pictures to post. I also have some pictures from your visit. OBTW - Matt is 9 years old, s...

Thanks Ed! I'm a little slow in cyberspace.
Ft. Lewis is about 50 miles south of me. I live north of Seattle.

Well guys, I have some good pictures from the latest Seattle meet but no matter what I do I can't get them posted.
I am a registered member but when I go to the gallery it tells me my password is invalid.
How does the "Insert image" button work?
Can someone walk me through this?

The flyer was pretty basic. I asked if you were interested in Electric Combat, if so, come and join our group of pilots. We fly WWII foam fighter airplanes and also open class. WWII uses small airplanes with 25"-32" wingspans. We pull 15' crepe' streamers and the object is to cut your oppo...

They were info about our group. Before I left, I went around to see how many were picked up by attendees and was please to ...

I can agree with everything except the minimum weight. There are about 10 of us flying here in the Seattle area and nobody has an airplane over 10 ozs. I'm flying both FF and slab EPP with GWS 350's and a small bl. If you require us to add weight you'll do nothing but turn ok airplanes into dogs. Pl...

We're interested in getting some narrower streamers. Right now I'm cutting regular party crepe' in half with the big paper cutter at work.
Some 3/4" in black, yellow, orange and red would be great. How do we get it?

I have flown the P-51 and Spit and just finished another Spit tonight with the Shark design. I used FFF for all 3. The P-51 is designed for 3-D and 4 ch. but I'm flying it in combat with 3 ch. It fly's well but is slow with the GWS setup on it because of the huge controls surfaces. The Spit flys lik...

Cool video! The night shots are down right funny. You can't see anything but you can sure hear it when one smacks the ground.

Wparmeter said it very well. We want easily recognizable airplanes and it should not matter what they're made of. As said above, the crappy designs will be weeded out by the serious guys, but if someone want to fly FFF or anything else, let them do it and have fun. On another note, I test flew my FF...

Hey guys, here's what's happening in Seattle. Please note that none of the pilots in our group are experienced combat fliers. I have flown some c/l combat long ago but hardly any r/c. We represent the new members all of you are interested in recruiting to RCCA. Right now we have about 10 or so "...

Actually we'll fly whenever the weather is good.
