Early crowd and lots of new and old faces. Good to see all of you in there and hope you had as much fun as I did. <S> All

JC67 owes me some money for all the birds he broke while I was flying them. I figure $85,000.00 for each one, for a total of one million dollars. After adding the inflation since WWII into the equation, the new total is higher than the national deficit.*

Had a blast tonight! Racked up some kills in my Lightning and even some Forktail's in my spaghetti shooter! :devil Will post some screenies soon.

if so, try to help him out. he was a bit shocked last night by the lack of icons.
-

he's a great guy. i flew with him a bit in mw before i was corrup.....eerr.....before i finally had the balls to try this arena. he's a good stick, and virtually EVERY time i asked him to stay out of a fight over there in mw, he did. even in one when i was getting my bellybutton handed to me.

The 109's are my planes of choice, escpecially the F or K. I'd love to wing up with you some time and attempt to teach a bit. :)

I enjoyed the no icon night in the sea a while back, I actually did real good, got the most kills of the night :t....it sounds like the AvA is getting a bigger following, once I am settled here in Kansas and get my computer here, it's in NH, I haven't flown in awhile....way to damn long, all I can do is stalk these boards :D....I actually was gonna have to stop playing all together and may still, the only internet I can get here is satellite, I have flown on satellite before I hate the warps that happen, ya know, I hate to be the guy that warps, so if it's that bad I will probably just stop, not something I wanna do, I am absolutely going through withdrawals :cry
-
Tonight was a blast I don't usually stop by the AVA arena but the lack of icons and all around good flying and sportsmanship will have me coming back for more. <S>
-
I actually got in for one sortie, My first in a month anywhere in AH.
Flew the P38 and found the fight at the two closest bases with the LW hugging the deck.
Good to see people in the arena at 6:30 central time.
-
last night was a great night in the AVA. if you missed it, you missed alot. while there are objectives for this week, no one is really trying all that hard to make them.
Last night saw new players and vets in the AVA. i saw capitol's name so many times, i thought i was in washington, D.C. the sportsmenship last night was awesome to say the least. no one was doing the normal MA stuff. It was all clean fights. it was a breath of fresh air to see that in the AVA for a change.
<S> to everyone that played last night. It was fun, i hope we can do it again. Remember, Last set up upgraded planes tonight!
-
Ink, I don't know what satellite company you are with but some offer a certain amount of free back up dial up minutes and you can still fly on dial up. Use satellite for downloading and dial up to fly, it's better than Sat.
Or you can see if this is available in your area. http://www.wi-power.com/

heh... I logged in early and it was just me and 'tree'. I started deacking a base for chuckles and he invited me to find his GV and kill him. So I go loiter over the base he was attacking and couldn't find him. Decided to run over to the nearest enemy base and see if he was coming up. Did a low pass and bap bap bap .. tower. Checked the roster and it was like the floodgates opened.
I'll be in there tonight around the same time.
-
i'm gonna try to get in tonight, but i gotta clean my garage some....get my r/c airplanes out of there, and nto the house, now that it's getting cold....and make room to put my race car in there at home, as it's a pain in the nuts moving it in and out of the shop every morning and night.
-
what kind of car? i use to run 66 Fairlane with a 418 SB
-

this one's a 68 camaro. all fiberglass body. it used to have a 454 bored to 461. now it's got a 540 in it. it ran 9.90's before....we're expecting low 9's high 8's if we ever get it back to the track.
-
nice, we ran 10.60's all day long. Ive got a 496 BB chevy in my Jet Boat Merlin II heads that flow over 400 and an Enderly Injection hat on a tunnel ram. Never on a Dyno but similar setup put out over 900HP and 700lbs of torque! Id love to put that in a car. I could run 8's all day long in a Nova II

absolutley it would. the 540 is using a merlin 2 block, with canfield heads built specifically for this engine. she was dynoed to 820hp....but that's at the flywheel
-
that is a very reliable setup. very predictable once you get your carbs dialed in. One reason i went with injection, besides the fact it just looks squeakin its way more reliable then carbs.

if i could afford it, i'd try some sort of fuel injection. i like fi on my street cars. as it is, we have an 1100cfm dominator sitting on top. i forget which jets we put in ti though.......suffice it to say, that standing too close when the engine is throttled is a bad idea. :x :devil
-
lol yeah i bet. funny thing was i wanted to run dual carbs on this engine anyway and it ended up being close to the same cost with the injection as the dual carb setup would be. I was going for the "WOW that looks sweet" reaction as its for a boat not just function or i would have used the same as you.
-
Last night was my first time to fly in AvA it was definatly challenging and I had a great time! Going to try and get my squadies to come over!

Seeding works if you have the time. All it takes is a few folks to start the ball rolling. These days I don't have much time for AH but what time I do have is late afternoon usually. I rarely make it past 8:30 pm before I am in bed. I still have two yards of rock in the driveway to move this afternoon so it looks like another early night for me :)
-
It was a very good time last night. I havent been in for a few weeks, but loved the new map and selection of GV's and planes. It sure gives me Ultimate respect for those pilots who did the real thing. Man they had to have eyes in the back of their heads. <<<S>>>

Met some very very cool people via AH, always good to put a face to a name.

Ink, look into wireless RF internet service. I live in rural IA and I can go with satellite, aircard, or RF. RF has been great for the most part. Ping rates are usually around 75ms or so. Cheaper than satellite as well. With as flat as KS is, you should be able to find a provider that has a good line of sight signal to your location. PM me if you want more info.

cool I will....I truly dont think I can stop....lol

:cheers: Here's to ya figuring it out sir.

I feel somewhat soiled, having flown the 109 and C205 for the Axis to balance the sides. :bolt:
I know I should have recieved many tickets for littering, with all my plane parts strewn across the land...
