Tennessee, USA.
Here you can
see Mike test flying a Vario EC135. Mike has been a teacher to me
and I look up to him in scale helicopters. Thanks for everything
all along, Mike, really appreciated!

Gonzalo Martinez
of USA.
Gonzalo is a
nice person whom I met in the internet. He showed these photos to
me and I could not resist to post them here for all to share.
 
Here you can
see Gonzalo hovering his JR Z230 Gasser in an abandon airstrip
near his home.
 
Closeup of
Gonzalo's JR Z230 showed how neat he keep his machine.

This is
Gonzalo's workshop. Showed his character being a neat an tidy
person. I envy your workshop, Gonzalo!

Photos of Actions in Our Flying Field
Story One -
Sleepy Lam's 3D Tow Cobra
In the
following series of photos, it showed a Hirobo Tow Cobra 60 in
action. The pilot is "Sleepy" Lam, who is renown for
occasional passing out during he does 3D routines! In fact, all
field members said Sleepy's flying is noticeably better when he is
sleepy, so goes his nickname. Here, Sleepy was challenged by
fellow friends to do some 3D flying with his Tow Cobra. Sleepy,
who is man enough, took that challenge, and wowed everyone at the
field!

This is Sleepy,
hovering his Cobra to get warmed up.

This is
Sleepy's Cobra, ready for take off.

What happened
with the Cobra? Is it on fire or what?

Getting
airbourne, the Cobra is going in mission to take up some 3D
routines.

For the flight,
Sleepy did loops and rolls with the Cobra, that was pleasing to
the eyes. Sadly, my camera cannot catch a glimpse of it while it
is doing 3D. The last photo showed the cockpit of Sleepy's Cobra,
where you can see the two pilot figures was removed by G-force
from their original glued position and huddled together by the
window. Sure those 3D stuffs scared these pilots to death..

Story Two- Jim Ming's TSK Mystar 60 EMS
In this series
of photos, it showed Ming's TSK Mystar 60 EMS hovering with a
sunset background. The scene in real was more breath taking than
these photos. Glad to see Ming's TSK revived from series of bad
spell.
Crash Photos

The above
photos showed a Chinese character that meant "Death",
and was assembled through the use of broken blades from crashes!
This was to worship the gone souls of crashed helicopters, and to
commemorate the single day that we had the most crashes at a
field. There were seven set of blades from different crashes.
Note that all broken blades here were FRP (Even with one set of
NHP carbon in its first flight!), and were freshly harvested from
crashes in two hours!

| Before (Note the one on the back) |
After (just about 30 minute after the
"Before" photo) |
The
"Before" photo showed two nice looking TSK Mystars. The
one on the back was a TSK Mystar 60V2, under 10 flight, with new
canopy, new K&S muffler and NHP carbons on their maiden
flight. (The canopy and the muffler were the first and only one
at the time of the photo in Hong Kong) The "After"
photo was the remain of the Mystar 60V2, after hovering for about
2 minutes there was a frequency jam and the Mystar locked up
itself and ended its life full throttled on to a rock. Gone were
all the bell and whistles, and came the tears of owner Mr. Jim
Ming.:(

Here is a photo
of the remains of a TSK Mystar 46, crashed into the sea,
recovered 45 minutes later, and left untouched in a garage for
two months. Everything was rusted, except the stainless steel
screws that the owner used.
