Does anyone else have to resort to bribery to go flying? I had to trade my kid a sleep over with her cousin, rent her a movie, and pizza for dinner in order to get 2 hours of stick time. It was worth it, this time. The weather was perfect and when the wind blew a little harder we retaliated and flew the Xcells.

pizza and a movie, $18
3/4 gallon of CY heli fuel, $16.50
breathing in 2 hours of smoke, priceless!!




BTW Rbort, Supersixtwo loves the gasser muffler! It rocks, Thanks again.

Parts, the're everywhere!

It is always worth it. We need to figure out how to get them (the kids)to fuel the birds and check them over after a flight!

Thats funny only cuz a buddy of mine would let his little girl fuel his plane for him (she love to do it) but anyway one day we was flying and she ask him can i fuel it up he said sure . Well he fires it up takes off gets about 100 yards out and about 50 feet up no it dies. It goes in the beanfield. After we get it back to see what happen we found that she de-fueled it ..It was funny

LMAO

My son was born the week of Ron's Funfly. We got out of the hospital just in time to make it late Saturday. It was my son's actual first trip out in the world! and it was to a Funfly!

Now my stories!

My hangar consists of planks and helis. Since Febuary, all of my fleet is down due to one thing or another! NO TIME TO FIX ANYTHING!

So just for me to go fly "when somethings not down" it cost me a Manicure and Pedicure (mommy time)About $42, frech tips extra, removing old polish extra.

Ill go early in the morning while the wife takes the afternoon to herself!

Thank goodness she supports my hobby though. But now shes getting a cut!

DANG HER!

Highly Medicated for your protection......
