    Welcome!

I'm going to Joe Nall 2018, are you?

Very nice plane! Looking forward to going. I'll be there on Friday and have to leave Tuesday. My first time going to this event. I'll be camping on the grounds in my A-frame pop-up camper. I may not be flying only do that none of my planes are ready. My good flyer is damaged and can't find a canopy for it. If the weather and time permitting to get something together by than. See ya there.

Hi Fellows, we have a group of 4 from Saskatoon going. We are 2159mi. Snoopy. I would also like to meet with some of you, pick a date and time. I will not be flying, my first time, but I am bringing a plane and will meet the designer there. is there an area for display only.I am bringing this one. You can find me hovering sometimes. Chuck Gratner the designer will be there so like to have mine near his to compare my work.
I know you are a true die hard modeler with good taste. Anyone with a Valach fits this bill, I have two of them. Is yours the 85, 120, 140, or the 170?
Maybe we'll meet, I will be there looking for Snoopy and seeing what the place is like.

It will be nice to see you there. If it is your first time then it is not that important to bring a plane. Trust me you will not get bored.

Hi got kind of busy for a while. The plane has a 120 in it. I don't plan on flying this one there as it has not been maiden-ed yet. I want to bring it along to discuss a few things with the designer and see how my building stacks up to his. Is there a display only area there? I am not sure its worth the hassle to bring it and then have to baby sit it at an event such as this. Let me know your thoughts Snoop as you have the experience.

hi fellows got kind of busy for a while. acerc it has a 120 in it. I was going to bring it so I could talk to the designer about my build and see how it stacks up to his. not been maiden-ed as yet so will not fly this one. Is there a display only area there? I am wondering if it is worth the hassle to bring it to an event such as this. We will be staying in Spartanburg which I think is about 45 min. away.

You have a nice plane and everyone would love to see it. There is no display area per say. If you are at the main line just put it out there for everyone to see. People are very careful around the planes and will not touch it as long as it past the fence. Only pilot are allowed past the fence. If the designer is there you can put your plane next to his. Even if you are not sure just keep the plane under wraps walk around and you quickly get a feeling if you are ok with putting your plane out there. Don’t take this the wrong way but there are planes there that cost many times more than yours and are just left out there for people to look at. I hope this statement comes out the way I want it to.

Thanks for the input Snoopy, yes there are many planes that are way beyond my model budget. And what you said was just fine. I was more concerned with the hassle of lugging it around. You have reassured me and think I will bring it along. I am always open to constructive criticism, and hope I get some there, that's what allows us to improve. I will keep an eye out for your bright trailer, hard to miss that one.

@RCPal bring it, bring it, bring it. If anything you can park it at my travel trailer but, there is plenty of ground or at least it appears that way in the videos. If things allow me to be there for more than a night I will bring my Pitts.
