Title: Are you from TEXAS?
Post by: Thunder on August 11, 2001, 12:07:00 AM
I was online and was talking to a bunch of players and we were talking about internet connections tonght. We were asking where each other was connecting from and there were a large bunch from TEXAS! After talking connects we discussed maybe getting together for coffee and a cheap BS session and a  bunch said they thought that would be fun. If anyone close to the Greater Dallas/Ft.Worth Metroplex area is interested in a simple get together like this just answer the tread. Maybe some of the staff at HTC might like to come on over too. It would just be a get together and say "hey"! Anyone interested just put your callsign and email down and we will try and find a good central spot and time.

Salute

Hi Guys,

HiTech,Pryo,Drex & Thunder got out last night for dinner and drinks. It was a lot of fun to be in such elite company!  :) Now if I can remember what Drex said I've got to try it  :) Last night was on the spur of the moment. We are planing on getting together thursday night. HiTech, Thunder, Drex & SharkBait are going to fly R/C's at the Grapevine R/C Airport. We will be out there about 5:00PM and fly for a few hours and then find a water hole. If anyone flys R/C's bring your stuff and if you don't but want to watch HiTech and SharkBait put on an airshow come on out. If you don't want to or can't make the R/C meet we can all meet at 7:30/8:00 at HTC and go from there. Nothing is fixed just yet.. If that works post and we can get directions and a plan in order.

It was a good time last night.  Other then the fact that Pyro questioned the validity of some of the statements I made regarding ACM. What do you expect from a has-been washout?  Very interesting discussions, hands flying all over the place, and your common banter.  It would be fun to get a bunch together on Thursday night.

I need directions to the Grapevine R/C airport and I am there.  I get off work at 5 and will head that way.

Hmmm directions to the Grapevine RC field... well you go past HT's office till the road dead ends and turn left, follow that to the stop sign and pull into the convience store/gas station that looks like it's gonna fall down to get refreshments, continue on down the road past a small bridge (look close you may miss it) turn right onto a decrepit back road and when it dead ends turn right and follow that road till you see the field on the right. If you go too far you'll end up in the lake.

Errr Thunder may be a better source for directions than I am but I can get there. <g>

I dont know about those directions...they seem a little shakey to me.  You might be more likely to find one o' them boys from "Deliverance" out there ifluff'n ya follow them thar dee-wreck-shuns.  Or maybe even Hblair.   ;)

Well HT,

I only have to walk around the candy rack once to find your snickers bar, you're the one that walks around the store 3 times...ever time!

Told ya that Thunder would be better with directions than I am but if you look close you will see I was accurate <g>.

I think everyone had a great time at the RC Field tonight.  It was
great to meet HiTech and Natedog again, and meet Thunder and Drex
for the first time.

There were some very entertaining moments during the course of the
night, and some great flying when 3 Zagis were all in the air at
the same time.

All the time, there's a guy sitting down on the end table with his
.61 sized copter (forgot the mechanics he had installed) and was
quite content to sit and watch the rest of us have a little fun.

He finally fired up his copter, and what happened next, was something
you just had to see to really appreciate it.  Now we've all seen the
inverted hovering a few inches off the ground, and the rush of an
auto-rotation, but this guy definitely had the uber flight model.

No, this was an UBER set-up.  Half way through the aerial tumbling
act, Hitech comes up to Drex, Nate, and myself standing in awe of
what were watching, and says "Not bad flying...he's about the best
out here."  That was understatement.

Talking with him later, he was just testing things out for a flight
competition this weekend, in which he competes at the pro level.

I will definitely be looking forward to the next time you guys have
a gathering out there.  It was fun.

Events.

You AlamoCity Aces sing out.  

I have never been kicked out of BW3.  But I have been kicked out of most of the lesser places on 6th street.

There's a plan?
