this is realy for hghost ,if you go to great antanov an2 worlds biggest single engine biplane,d day switzerland,on the u tube,i think you will like it should land slowly enough to land in your field  ,actualy i was looking at the maxford an2 for ep,but to be honest it would be easy enough to power it ,but i think with the weight of it,it would be difficult to slow it down enough to look scale.the only vid i have seen of it on the tube looked like it was going like the clappers,the real ones in the vid look absolutely beuatifull  all the best supercub1 |

The biggest motor i have is an eflite power 25 off a hurricane,that used to land heavy at 5pounds.perhaps i will wait till i get better,and get back to work.i have been watching your vids of the unique flying field.you have deffinately put some work in there,clearing a runway and all,deffinately got your challenges with the interstate right by you.i did take some vid yesterday of the se5a and yak12,lovely day no wind and warm,just got to re activate my utube account ,havnt used it for 5yrs.anyway ifyou catch some of the real an2 planes on utube they are amazing,something the size of a house taking off at what looks like walking pace and going slower than a tigermoth

It is unique for sure and always weary of the Highway and wind directions...been fortunate to have that so close to home
probably would not have flown as often had it not been . It is a challenge at times for sure .

I have just watched your memorial day tribute with the p51,that was beautiful,the camera angle was spot on,is it a dynam 51 .we are coming up to armistace day in uk ,11nov,we owe an awful lot,and it never stops ,young people men and women with their whole lives ahead of them changed in an instant,all the training in the world cannot prepare you for "that moment" so sad

I thought you might like this,at first i thought the animal was being chased ,but i dont believe it was. anyway if i want to send something personal to you i will always send it to " The Unique flying field", i know i usually flit from one subject board to another. but as i say i always check here first.all the best Chris. www.youtube.com/watch?v=derbaCE_f2Y#t=239.954375 |

Hello HGHOST, what is the weather like at your locality ,over here we are just starting to get the first morning frosts , and getting dark so much earlier.not much wind at the moment and sunny ,although cold,perfect not up to flying at the moment.this will make you laugh,i went for a nuerology appointment on thursday,the taxi driver on the way to hosp,had the heating on full,by the time we arrived i was starting to feel rough,waited a little while to see the consultant,she said to me well mr mann,what does it feel like when you collapse,i managed to say "it feels a bit like thi",didnt manage to finish the sentance i was on the floor,well weird i can still carry on a conversation whilst i am out.just wish the doctors could find out whats going on ,i need my life back ,and i am missing my flying, i havent tried to crash the site with photos or vids that no-one can load for days ,sorry to offload my medical situation, i am just frustrated,anyway all the best chris

Hey Chris, don't apologize, i spent this past year very ill myself. Could not eat, sleep, was in horrible pain, itched all over, skin turned yellow,
continue to puke and or try to anyway, nothing to puke up....that lasted from 1st June to 1st of October, lost a ton of weight , had no strength to even get up
finally starting to gain some weight and to get my strength back .
It was a reaction from a vaccine shot, nearly killed me, poisoned my system. I am a firm believer in God and believe by His Grace is why I am still here.
Have not flown since first of June, was my last video I made . Have not flown and my field is in disarray. Will take some time to get it in order come spring
hopefully by then I will have the strength to get it done.
weather here has all over the place. From Sunny and cool to rainy and cold, we have had some snow flurries and frost and high winds to calm and warmer days
depends on what one is use to, 50's here are nice, 40's are cool, it is not cold unless it is low 30's-20's...considered very warm in 60's and Hot by the upper 70's...lol
Hope you get to feeling better and they figure it out....and i enjoy the video's / photo's and the posts .
Ed.
