Thread: My weekend

  1. #1

    For those who don't already know I'm a model helicopter pilot and I'm at a huge helicopter only event this weekend...now when I say "model" I don't mean toys-r-us either...I mean big$$$bucks gas powered monsters that will kill or send you to the ER real quick.

    I figured I'd post a few pics for those who care

    first off here's a pic of my new massive "investment" the money came in, the bills are paid for so Hax felt he needed another heli :mrgreen:




    ready to hit the road for the trip to south carolina




    getting setup friday afternoon




    night flying with bottle droping, the night kits were installed and then 1/4 of a gallon of water was put in an empty fuel jug...then a white light stick was put in the jug...then the jug was thrown around the field by helis.

    the blue glow is the jug on the skid


    after a few drops they decided that they were tired of stoping the blades to put the jug on the skid so they tried to pick it up with the heli




    major save of the day goes to the pilot who's tail broke off during some very agressive flying and got thrown about 100ft into another heli, that heli came down like a brick and the one who lost the tail landed safely with no tail at all on the heli...very badass flying skills at work.
    A few other agressive flights got lawn darted but the lost tail save will go down in the history books.

    oh yeah there was lots of night flying and fireworks being shot at the helis, the one heli flying through the fireworks was taking mortar and saturn missle hits like they were nothing, it also ate an uncountable number of roman candle flares with the rotor blades. Also a very small electric plane with some night lights got shot down with a mortar...I have it all on video.



    the one to the left just crashed right in front of us about 10ft from another pilot flying. The other pilot was standing to the left of the flag and the heli is still sitting where it hit the ground...almost turned into an ER visit.



    two of the full size helis that stoped by for lunch today




    group shot of all the pilots and the helis


    if anyone is wondering how these things sound or how fast they are I took a video clip with my digital camera...I'll try to take some more better ones tomorrow

    Now THAT loox like fun!!!
    Alright
    Tap the lightpole and we'll be jammin all night
    And ain't nobody callin' the cops
    'Cause everybody's here freakin', if they're older they're doin the rock
    And every block from all around
    Comes runnin' to the park when they hear the sound
    And soon the word's spreadin' through our part of town
    "Yo, 40 Park y'all, Jam-On's gettin down"
    Yeah...
