Camp n Fly 2022!!!

I figured no electrics, but I had to ask haha.

CR kits where the business back in the day, anything for sale? I'm a glutton for punishment lol.

Nope, I like my personal stash of CR stuff too much to sell them. They flew great back when I couldn't afford them, and they still fly great, just harder to get a hold of.

I was asked to be on a Podcast, and I gave the Camp and Fly a nice little plug towards the beginning. Check it out if you are bored.

@Red you really gotta take some time and walk around looking at the scratch builds this year. Lots of cool stuff!

 

[Red]

Can’t wait!

I'm just hoping we'll be allowed to make the journey.

Still listening to the podcast, it is my new commute podcast. LOL

I look forward to this event all year long. I love it when this thread pops back up as it gets me thinking about the good times we are going to have. ALWAYS puts me in a better state of mind.

Hi everyone, I have site #015. Looking forward to it, my wife and I were there last year for the first time and loved it. I was also the happy winner of an Alula at the raffle. I have it all built and ready to go! -Pete

 

[thenated0g]

The earlier morning flights with everybody's alulas, before the wind picks up, is great. Looking forward to it.

Currently camping out in my house. Powers been out for 2 days. 3 feet of snow, and more on the way. Camping at Sunset looks pretty nice at the moment.

@Red - OK, I'd like to know more about the Prandti wing concepts. Since you are the expert, would you be willing to start up a new thread and give us some the basics of what makes the Prandti wing unique I think we would all enjoy it. And we do have a few other designers in our membership here. My very simple understanding must have some holes in it. We briefly discussed the topic in another thread, so know there is some interest in the topic. Thanks!

Done......

PRANDTL lift distribution as it relates to flying wings.

Hey All, Wayne asked for some info on the PRANDTL wings and suggested I start a new thread, so here it is. Ludwig Prandtl was a German fluid dynamicist who was the first to create a tool (equation) to predict the performance of a wing in 1919. Dubbed Lifting Line Theory, he correctly predicted...

looks like Pines hollow camp-sites are all that's left, that still in the area?

 

[gp49]

Pine Hollow is within walking distance of the Glider port. Maybe 1/4 mile. We had site #39 before - 15 minutes walk to the top of glider port....

 

[Wayne]

Yeah, I have camped there in the past too. It works fine, just a little longer walk. (Load up your car, drop off the planes, return the car to the campsite and walk back to enjoy the planes.)

Working on my next Sunset build. This is a vintage kit called a Jalapeño from Jac-Mac Models from the 70’s I think. Look at all that lumber I get to carve lol. I’m slowly working through my stash of old kits.

Got my Jalapeño ready sand then cover. Not sure what to build next.
