Re: Mongolian Combat flier coming to N Texas in Februay

Can someone take some pictures at this contest and send me a write up. It would make a great topic for model aviation having someone from another country flying combat. Don: Ya, that's what I'm hoping that we can do, I also have some group photos of the Mongolian "NATS" that I'll send to ...

Re: Mongolian Combat flier coming to N Texas in Februay

Battulga is a member of the Mongolian national organization that is responsible for model aviation. Hopefully that is suitable, after all, when we host the World Championships here in the US we do not require every attendee from foreign countries to join the AMA. I have been an AMA member for 44+ ye...

Re: Mongolian Combat flier coming to N Texas in Februay

Out of curiosity, I checked the weather in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Last night the temperature was -30 F !!! No wonder Battulga is looking forward to being here, anything above 0 will feel like a tropical paradise :D

Bring cameras! (and extra planes) this is a great photo op, Don Grissom would love the photos, I'm sure and the inevitable mention in MA would be a good thing.

I'd be very interested in seeing a picture of Jerry Haines flying wing if you have one.

Re: best 2.4 Ghz technology/products

For you Futaba FASST guys, I have found that the FrSky receiver from Hobby King works GREAT! I have 10 of them and use them in my pylon racers, so you know that I am putting a lot of faith in them. Here is the link to the 7 channel version: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__19365__FrSky_TFR...

WAMS Spring SLAM

We had 8 combat pilots show up for the April meet. Some of the regulars had to be no-shows due to that nasty 4-letter word, W-O-R-K, or previous family commitments. We went all-up for 10 rounds of SSC. This might not have been the windiest meet that we have ever flown in, but it was right up there n...

Re: WAMS Spring SLAM

The latest weather report looks pretty good. It will be a bit windy (imagine that!!!) but no rain and the temperatures will reach into the low 70's. So, I hope to see you there.

The field is a coastal Bermuda grass hayfield. It is not known if the grass will be high or low, but either wa...

Re: Mongolian RC Combat pilot to visit North Texas-Combat An

Seriously guys, this isn't a joke. An RC Combat flier from Mongolia (ya' like how many can there be?) is in town and staying at the Comfort Suites in Denton. He is free all day on Friday and would like to meet and fly with some of us. He brought his own Futaba FASST (Mode 1) transmitter and a receiv...
