I've been thinking about a nitro for a while now but they're so much more expensive than my beloved Belts. Also a bigger heli maybe pretty difficult to hid from the wife. She was eyeing my Exi yesterday, I think she's suspicious. I can't trade her in for an island girl like Dier did as I have too much invested in her.

Yesterday I was at my LHS and one of the guys was complaining about not being able to buy Nitro because of the olympics. Not sure what the connection is. You heard anything about it?

I heard they closed down the chemical plants to make the air transparent during the games...

I've also been eyeing nitros lately - but while kit prices aren't that bad (only $250 for a Compass Knight Sport) the paraphernalia required to run one means a pretty hefty investment. I guess I'll have to sit this summer out and maybe start collecting parts over the winter. It's never so bad when you don't have to look at the total cost in one credit card bill

My Girl aint an Island Girl.

My first marriage was to an American Blond.... liked to rule... took it for 14 years.

Now I'm married to a Colombian girl, their parents teach them the right way

The EX... (9 years older than me, maybe that was the problem )



EL COLOMBIANA!!! (6 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME) There is just no contest.

[tom dubya]

omg no offence your ex is a dog, your current one is hotter than hell. You sure did it right the second time around,

[DierWolf]

Actually my ex was pretty nice, thats a current picture... guess thats what devorce does to ja.. You also have to remember my Ex is also 48 Years old and the other one is 33.

If you think she's hot you should see her younger sister...

[tom dubya]

hmm i thinking we could start a hot girls thread and dierwolf since you live in the carribean you could probably supply all the pictures.

[DierWolf]

LOL..

Dont let looks decieve you my friend... She looks quite innocent huh.


Colombian Girls.....

They Cook, They clean, They tend to you hand and foot and treat you like a king

And in return, They'll kill for you too LOL.... Nature of the beast i guess so if i'm going to
Post anything on girls it will probably be coming from her LOL.

I think i'll keep my balls for a little bit longer

[tom dubya]

Ohh you make me so jealous,although my wife does a lot of the cookin and cleaning she doesn't necessarily attend to my every need at all. Its more like "Get your *** off the couch and help me do this stuff."

And i have no problem of you posting more pic's of her. lol oh and her sister.

I wonder what the full scale drag racing guys are doing for fuel. They use nitro in 50 gallon drums.

They probably keep enough in stock for a full season, so I don't think they'll be hit that hard... We also have some R/C heli pilots here who mix their own fuel from big drums and are currently working very hard not to sound smug on the forums

On the workbench tonight... a new, more silvery look for the HDX450. The "magic blue" boom turned into a set of elevated tail mechanics with a little help from the lawn. It was getting too dark to judge altitude very well, and those were the fastest terrain hugging figure-eights I've done yet. Boom, tail pushrod, fiber blades, main shaft, feathering shaft, flybar, one-way bearing... and it was all repaired in just over 30 minutes. I love working with the HDX Superframe design.

Still looks cool Mika, It usually takes me a lot longer than to put my belt back together

[mnwizard]

I wonder what 50 gallons of nitro is going for now?!

Heli's looking great Mika! I like the aluminium skids, what brand are they?

I know what you mean about flying at dusk. I love flying just before dark. It's calm, cool, no sun in your eyes.

I did the same thing last night, flew a little too long and piled my Belt right into the lamp post in the front yard. No major damage, a set of woodies and a feathering shaft. But it was the neighbor's hysterical, beer driven laughter that really stung!

[Ian 777]

Sorry not laughting at your mishap just the antics of your neighbour. Has he had the cops out to you lately?

[Jonnyheli]

DW, putting pictures like that up is torchure for a 15 yr old like me. You know how frustrated people my age get when they see pictures like that! This can't be healthy lol. You surely made the right choice there tho, congrats. Is that picture of your new wife recent?

PS. How old is her younger sister

Actually I took a little preemptive action and volunteered to show some of my Helis at a hobby night the local coppers put on for neighborhood kids. (We have a very PR minded police department). The kids. of course, love helis and I took a computer with too so they could all try one out on the sim. The insurance agent said no actual flying. Gads, they're as bad as lawyers! The cops loved the helis too and had lots of questions

Last time I saw the Sgt he waved when he went by.


When dealing with neighbors I find that a little treachery is a wonderful thing.

LOL - that's why I try to avoid being seen when I fly.

The skids are the originals from the HDX450 kit. Flat springy steel, so they soften your landings a little and bend instead of breaking when you come down hard.

All this talk of Colombian girls is almost making me regret I gave up on one... Her English was worse than my Spanish, and I thought it would be too hard on her not to be able to really communicate with anyone over here. What was I thinking? I would have had no idea what she says when she yells at me for buying more guns and helicopters. How perfect is that?

[DierWolf]

Her sis is 3 years younger... this is the only pic i have
of her on my pc... all other pics on my wifes laptop.

5ft 2inches (as pretty much every colombian woman is) Shorties with Booties.



That pic of my wife was taken last year when we went colombia with some anchient camera they happen to have in the house LOL.

From there we went straight to Rotterdam for the Cup

Ahh what fun it was....

Speaking of whats on the Bench tonight.... wait a damn minute if i post that i'll be banned for sure LOL... so you'll have to settle for turning my wifes pic 90 degrees to the right LOL.
