We will be there, can't wait to see the Bell-47 up close and meet Brad. will bring my camera and tripod so I can get some good video of it.

Cool. Than you guys can help me take m y blades off. I got to bring the machine home for the brake modification. I got my new calipers.....it will require a bit of work.

what do you need to make the mods? don't know if it would help but you are welcome to use my Mill-lathe set up if ya need it. right now it is out side under a tarp. can let ya take it to the hanger if you need to, but it's heavy about 509 pounds.
let me know.

See you guys tomorrow at DeLand airport. Come a few before 9 so we don't have to shut down the helicopter.

will be there about 8:30, going to bring my camera and tripod so can get Video of the 47 landing.

I am not flying it tomorrow I'll drive to KDED so I can work on my machine.

Thanks Tim for the video and pictures. I guess now we can say it really happened!!!!!!

Another GREAT Day in Florida!!!!

Oh yea, after washing my face I can confirm the smile won't come off!!!!

There are definitely times I wish I lived in Fl...

Thanks guys for the help. We had a great time. Brad is just a super cool guy!

Yes he is, can you E-mail him the link to the Videos? I told him I would have the posted tonight, bet he would love to see them.
using my tripod really made a difference, but the auto focus would blur out once in awhile. but all in all I think they came out pretty good.

Supercool! Sorry I missed it. Had stuff to do.
Gonna fly sometime today and / or tomorrow though.

Fly over the house, would love to see ya fly over. easy to find just look for the biggest microwave tower in sight..lol yep we could see it from the runway in the fog. damn that thing is big.. at least when I do start flying my helicopter I should be able to find my way home easy enough...

have a great flight.

My only video I took..... Click on settings HD!!!!

That machine should be called the 'Mona Lisa'

It is equally a piece of art and one of a kind to boot

Truly awesome!

Thanks Gabor, hey I think I know that guy going for the ride..

Alrighty boyz and galz. The October 18th gathering is being cancelled. I won't be able to make it and apparently a couple of others either. So as sad as it is I won't be able to doit. We are just going to have to throw another one at another time. OK?
Sorry guys.
