I I just wanted to drop by and say hi to everyone. I miss the help and friendly banter. Especially with flydive, Hghost, Coupe and let's not ignore his honorable Lord CH! I am still flying my new Fun Cub from last year. I am buying an Art Tech Devil and get started in Aerobatics. Anyone out there have any experience with that plane or Art Tech planes in general?  |

Hey jklong...good to hear from you.
Whew... not good with aerobatics myself....hope you like it.
Do not own any Art-Tech planes. The Art Tech Devil looks cool, but not my kind of plane.
Hope you enjoy it.

Hope you enjoy it. I am sure that I am going to like it, docile slow speed flying but with a thrust ratio of 1:1.2 it can do basic 3d including vertical hovers, really looking forward to wringing it out to see what it and I can do! |

Looks a fun craft. btw A Lord cannot be an 'honourable' the correct form of address is His/Your Lordship. ;-)

Gosh, an' I always thought that "His Royal Hinneyness" covered all the bases with addressing CH correctly. I guess I stand corrected, huh? :-) :-) :-)

lol As a campaigning Republican (as in having a democracy in the UK and not as in the US political party) I think when the time comes I'll make an exception for CH and allow him to keep his title. :-)

Many of us in the UK consider it highly amusing that the politicians in our Parliament traditionally refer to each other as "Honourable Members". For example, during debates they might say, "Will the Honourable Member please tell me . . ." Some more senior politicians are even referred to as "Right Honourable". That's right, folks - the UK's politicians are all honourable people!  |

Non UK types, I apologise as you won't even understand my terrible joke. There is an old children's playground jibe "liar, liar, pants on fire". |

Which is why here in the USA the only people who call our political figures honorable are their opponents when they are about to disagree with them! PS sure is good to hear the old gang again. |

Update : well, it finally hapened,after a full season last year and maybe Ten flights this year I had my first crash with my Fun Cub, and it was a good one. Probably too windy of a day but she has been so easy to fly in mild wind I guess I got complacent. Anyway, too slow throttle due to the down wind leg and didn't throttle up turning Final and spun her in. Badly mangled nose, enough to justify buying the plane I mentioned in the OP! Whoops?
