Was awesome weekend. A little rain on Sat. sent us hiding for about 10 min and then Sun. was perfect. I finally found my Mini Magg after 5 sessions of combing the cornfield. http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3552410
It was just off my line where I saw it come down. Thanks to Rick Nelson and google.earth for helping ;-) |

Glad to hear you found your Mini Magg. Was it in good condition? You gotta go to Midwest Power. I wish I could get down there on Friday for EX day, suppose to work. I have heard there are gonna be some great projects.

I second your thoughts on a great weekend. I only made it up on Sunday, but it was a perfect day for a launch. I was 6 for 6....on the mid power stuff. I flew mostly new kits. I broke a fin on a Big Daddy I flew with an F25 in it. It would have helped if it had a chute. DUH! With the winter months around the corner, I think I'm gonna work on some Goonie Bird look a likes. Here is the website of the rocket plans. http://www.dars.org/jimz/rp00.htm It's mostly small stuff, but kind of cool.

It was in good condition. Costmetically bad. Lots of mud and it was wet. Theres some shred marks on the bottom of the air frame I cant figure out how they got there. http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3576116 Looks like blades cut it or something.
This the Goonie Bird ? http://www.dars.org/jimz/est0854.htm That would be a kick a** upscale project. Im gonna see if I can make Midwest Power. later ! |

The shreds at the bottom are strange. A little work and she'll be ready to go! Yep, that is one of the Goonie Birds...they're all a little weird. I was thinking of doing this one. http://www.dars.org/jimz/est0855.htm Hopefully Ken can help me out with some supplies or I'll check with Tim.

5th time`s a charm ;-) Persistance paid off. Glad I got it before the farmers tractor did. Yep , it was almost online with yours. Yours had to be way the F out there.
