General Discussion / 2015 Heli Fun Fly at our field

« on: December 19, 2014, 05:26:04 pm »

We will be having an RC helicopter fun fly event this July 18 with a rain date of July 19. I believe the last time we had one I was still flying my Ergo 60 heli. I will be the CD for the event and welcome all of our heli flyers to join in on the planning for this event. We will be having a get together to talk over ideas for the fly in after the holidays.BCNU Walter "Yogi" Johnson

General Discussion / Helicopter Flyers and Heli Field

« on: July 09, 2014, 09:02:54 pm »

   In the most recent club newsletter there is paragraph describing the behavior of some heli flyers as not being OK. This needs to be clarified as to what issues the club as a whole is having with the flyers and anything else that is not OK. I've been down this road before and this can not be left to fester and grow worse. I consider myself an all around flyer and partake in several different types of rc flying. I do tend to fly more helicopter than anything else at present but this has nothing to do with trying to be non social with the fixed wing side of the field. I was under the impression that it was the clubs idea to have a second field to seperate the helis from the planes. I'm sure this was voted upon by the membership and was accepted by all as a great solution to having to different types of flying that really dont work well on the same field. I really to appreaciate being able to fly my helis on a seperate field as I'm sure the fixed wing guys do also. If there is really a problem with us heli flyers please send out an email to the membership and lets get together and fix the problem ASAP. There was an issue about cars driving on the hay on the heli side when I inquired about this I was told it was one of the non club member pylon racers that caused the damage if this is true please clear this up in a future newsletter. Sorry for venting like this usually I'm the quiet one but this really hits home been flying helis since 1983 would hate to see another lost flying spot due to a misunderstanding. Walter

« on: May 31, 2014, 07:17:01 pm »

  Here are the pics of my RBC kits F-22 Raptor build in process. The specs are as follows twin Wemotec 70mm fans with Mega 16-15-3 motors and 55 amp esc's one 4 cell 3300 mah pack which will give her more than 1-1 thrust to weight ratio. Airframe is 43 inches long with a 33 1/2 inch wingspan. Controll system is a simple ailivators set up which is the same as a delta wing set up but uses the elevators instead of the ailirons for control two Hitec HS85MG servos and a 6200 Spectrum reciever Castle 10amp BEC. The jet will be bungee launched off a pvc pipe ramp and will belly land.BCNU Walter
