Post your pictures here of your planes (new or used) you will be flying for 2012.

I shot this spy photo of a friends new plane ( 3W Yak )that is almost completed and should be ready in time for the Tucson Shootout.

The Extreme Flight 300 for 2012, or the Dalton 300.

Wow Jim, that plane looks like it flat out moves.

Thanks Dave it is now that I have it dial in. That 170 is touchy on the carb setting
Love that DA power! !!

Thanks

Thanks Wayne ! Will remember the tip

Me with mine... Extreme Flight 125" Extra 300

BTW, Futaba is pronounced "phoo taa baa" as per a recent Japanese friend pronounced it for me. Futaba means "beginning of life" as in when the cotyledons of a germinating bean opens up!!

Bobby aka professor of esoteric information!!

I'll be using my new 125" Extreme Flight Extra 300! DA-150 on it right now...but this winter is a planned upgrade to the 170.

ACTUALLY..........With a japanese accent,you are very likely correct about the
proper pronunciation of the word "Futaba".
I heard a guy who knew someone that talked to a futaba dealer here in the states
and he said, as you head further west the appropriate pronunciation shifts just a bit.
An accurate linguistificational elaboration of the noun involved for the 50 U.S. states
would be....."F.U.B.A.R....A". Ya I know its different but I think it might be for real..

Randy aka professor of nuttinmuch

Redneck pronuciation is Fuuuu Uhhhh Buuuuuu ! Or them there pumkin patch guys !!!!

I have heard it pronounced Fat Tuba.

Same old bird for me....Comp 260, DA 150, RE3 pipes.

Well... I'll be flying a NEW LIGHTENED version of Extreme Flight's 125" Extra 300....Complete with special wings furnished by MB Xtreme airfoils!! We'll see how it fares with all the young "hot-shots" next year.

Dang Wayne,,,,,,, what is that little short pilot figure you have there,,,,,, is it about 1/4 scale ?

That was funny...You got a BIG chuckle out of me!

LOL !!!!

Here will be mine!

Chip Hyde 300L rebuild :
Chip Hyde antuiqe rebuild from I think 2005.Dle 111 and 300L modification.Soon to have Canisters purchased from Rob W.Flys great.

Godfrey, DA170 on KS1090 and I KNOW the difference with Futaba

Funny stuff!!! and a lot of really really sharp aircraft. Very impressive.

I have yet to fly an event, I am relatively new to the hobby. This is my second year flying, going into my third. I was lucky enough to run into a IMAC pilot at RAMAC's field and they (Justin and Dave) encouraged me to join and compete.

So my first event will likely be at Goshen, NY. Anyway, I just maidened an Extreme Flight Yak 54. I am running in it a DA-120, MTW tuned pipes, Hitec 7955s, dual receivers, etc. More info/pics are posted on my home club's site www.toponewjersey.org under builds (LenD).

I have attached a picture, not the best, but it beats a zero. The red rag is my reminder that I refueled..Yes, I forget.

Nice Plane Len,

FYI, leaving your fuel dot hanging out is another way to remembered that you have fueled, push it in when you power up. Worked for me.

Hum, so you think I will remember to put the fuel dot back in? No, trust me I likely will go up with the dot hanging out on the Tygon and my pilot will want hazard pay!

Nope, I'm on the rag!

Ya rub it in! Wait till you guys hit 50+, I can't recall what a fuel dot is after a
grueling Imac sequence......if its an unknown, I can't even remember to hook up the
glow plug or how to use the prop wind up spring....

Seriously though, thank you for the compliment on the plane and the tip. I likely will be bothering folks for mixes and set-up tips. This plane flies so true as it is with no mixes. I am very pleased with it so far.

Unless I do something stupid with it before next season

Gosh darn crap. Terry!! Did you see that? I didn't think anyone was watching.

I have the only Dalton with retracts.

Got it... just like your hat.. you forgot the "T" on the wing....

The T is silent.

It stands for WHAT THE F@$&^(^K

All I need is some covering.

And a rudder and some servos !

My Dalton for 2012

Hempel is having one of his 40% Yak-55Ms done in my scheme for me. I'll be flying that in IMAC for 2012. Should have it in January, so hopefully I'll be able to make a Feb/March contest and then the rest of the year.

Well it is finalized. I will officially retire (sell) the old 260......

REALLY!!! After what happen on Saturday when the engine quit your selling it!

I gotta say that plane still looks great for how many flights is on it. I believe its been flying from 2007 till now? Gone from Basic to the Unlimited class!

What will you be kicking my arse with next season?

A new Micro Beast ! He will beat you with sound and ACS alone !

It really has nothing to do with the deadsticks. That was just a hole in the fuel line. It still flies and looks fine since March of 2008. I just sold it yesterday.

I will hopefully have a pic of the new plane soon

I was more thinking a vapor

Here are 2 pics from earlier this year.

I now know why your DA 150 just went up for sell !

bump...

I just got a 35% sbach. Will this be competitive for the sportsman sequence?

That plane will be just fine in Sportsman. Flying the sequence well is going to be more about practice and getting very familiar with the plane in different wind conditions. Burn lots of gas....
