Camp n Fly 2022!!!

[Tahoed]

Hey!!! Where are you guys??? I'm sitting here at Los Banos and it's a nice day. 15 with gusts to 20 or so.

Hey, is that my Mom's 1980's camp chair? Those were the best.

We have been packing and doing last mibute hacks on a lot of old planes. Pick up the u-haul trailer tomorrow, load up and head out. See you there!!

 

[Doc James Hammond]

I think there are going to be so many models at C&F this year that there will be little room for the flyers and thier bosses.

And I'm insanely jealous!

My crazy contraption worked for the Hertz van. I had to cut about 5 in off the top with the sawzall but actually worked out great for holding the planes.

Wish I lived on the west coast as I would be there with you. Enjoy and post pics so I can live vicariously

Grrr...I don't want to live vicariously...

Problem is with C&F once you have been once its addictive.

Grrr grrr...

Actually, last time I went, I took 8 models I think - all my designs - but none were flyable and only for demo, more's the pity.

I'm also hoping that someone will step up - or an alliance? - to get the ISR going again. I have to admit that this is really a personal thing with me as the first time I went was in 1986.

NEXT YEAR!

I sure hope so, my first trip was in '84. I'd love to race there again some day.

I think a lot of people feel the same way Red.

How's the flying at the park? Any initial pics?

It was great yesterday, started light and built to almost 40, then another few calmer hours in the evening. Today has been light at best, even a DLG landed out at the beach.

I think you need to make a sacrifice to Aeolus.

Many where made. Had good air at the end of Saturday. Lost a Gremlin and micro twisty wing. Test flew the Schwing Corsa 108. Report in that thread.

@Nigel what can you tell us about this old timer? It flew great on the front face. But I saw some issues with the slow flight (landing approaches). It looked like you need a lot of reverse aileron differential. I use reverse differential in all my set ups where the ailerons are used to supply us with added drag. I think your radio can do this. Heck, I know we've been able to do this with radios going back to the early 80's with my Ace microPro 8000. I hear some folks claim that they loose aileron control (roll) in crow or spoileron. With reverse differential I've had adequate roll control with the ailerons up. Mike Shellim's templets have this.

Just rolled in from another fantastic weekend. Thanks to Jeremy and Wayne for all the effort. This is a really fun event, so glad we camped this time. Lots of great flying and a ton of carnage to go with it lol.

It was great seeing old friends and meeting plenty new ones., and I only bought 1 new kit lol.
