Alvin (8 ball)

I will go ahead and post a picture for Frits Jetten (ballderdash) because he can't post in this forum due to a conflict between some Mac OSs and forum software.

Here is Frits with his night flying Hawk chopper.
He did very well, without crashing it best I remember.

This is my Hirobo Shuttle(below left), and it is still flight worthy. It now has a thunder tiger 36 engine, with a with a hatori muffler.

Hi all,

Just snooping around the forum... :D

I understand that BOSS Moderator "mobileraptor" is no longer a Mobile Raptor and no longer listed as a Forum member...

Perhaps he needs to be replaced... :yes:

(No, not me...) :no: :no:

My apologies!

mobileraptor is still in the members listing... Sorry! (pretend icon for :embarrassed:)

I didn't see the second page... :wacko:

I really wish all posts were in reversed chronological order.
Prevents much scrolling...

I will make sure to post my pic tonight..... B) i will have to think of a name... :D

Now, remember David, it's a family forum... :P

Good luck finding a nice name with "ball" in it. :)

Better make it a good'n... :roflmao:

Did we ever see your helicopter at the field, David? Not just anyone can join the elite BOSS organization... <_<

oh yea Justin and Alvin (thanks to them) help me set it up. I brought it out for a couple of weeks then have let it sit....but i am wanting to get back into it. Been on the real flight G3 everynight .... :D There is a pic in one of the pits reports

Just a heads up, David.

I tried to get a "Balls" membership once and Alvin told me that I had to have crashed my chopper at least three time to qualify.

Do you meet that requirement? ;)

Don't pick "Dingle Balls" as your nick, because that is mine if I am ever let in. :unsure:

Well no so far only one crash..... :huh:
Might take a while before i can get in.... :)

Then again if i fly more i may crash fast enough to be voted right in..lol

Didn't take me any time at all, David. I was accepted right away!

:D :roflmao: :D

One day of flying an LMH is all it takes!

Well i have a name i can use. "Autoball"
How about that one.. :D

OK "Autoball", you are in.

And your chopper flying is getting better and better.

I can tell you gonna be a "Auto Wiz kid". :yes:

I am proud to be inducted into such an illustrious Society. B)

If I join, will that land my face on one of Alvins cartoons?

How about "BlueBalls"? Is that taken.

That would be neat if wasn't because that is also my nickname at home. :hmm:



Scott

Ok Scott, you are now a member of the B.O.S.S. and your nick of "blueballs" is accepted.

O'boy, Scott wants in the cartoons.
Your wish is my command.
I will try to do you right.

Tony Farmer finally decided to join the B.O.S.S. group of most highest order of chopper flyers.

He could not think of a good nickname and trusted me to pick him a unique, descriptive one.

I hope that he is happy with "butterballs". :lol:
