I visited the field today, after a months absence to see what was going on.

I was met by Alvin, who immediatley whisked me over to his truck to present me with my official B.O.S.S badge. I was estactic with feelings of joy, knowing that now, finally, I was apart of something important in my life. I finally fit in.


After which, I noticed THE machine. The infamous Raptor, Hawk, calico prototype with the dirt dobber guidance system sitting on yonder table. Electricity ran through my body at the thought that today was the day I would get to experience the euphoric rush of endorphins behind the sticks of such a masterpiece of modelry, since in a recent post Alvin said he would allow me to pilot his bird.

I walked over to it, and stood silently, waiting for Alvin to make the offer. But Alvin just walked by, as if I wasn't there. So with a heavy heart, I walked back to my truck, and unloaded the only heli I brought, my trusty T-Rex.

I set it on the table, and began chatting with my fellow modeliers,(pronounced- model-leers) when someone mentioned they would like to see the little electric of mine fly. So I walked into the impound to retrieve my frequency pin. I noticed still, the beast resting on the table, and Alvin sitting in a chair, heckling pilots on the flightline, as Alvin dose.

I walked back out to the south practice pad, and began the demonstration that had been requested of me. To my dismay, not 2 minutes after I had began flying, there was Alvin, with foresaid helicopter, cranked and setting up for flight. Not on the flightline, but no more than 20 paces away from me in the practice area. There he began his routine of awe striking aerobatics. You know the ones where he flys all his manuevers in normal mode. Simply amazing.

I was crushed!! Why oh why had he not offered to let me pilot his craft when he had the chance, and then, to add insult to injury, he rushes out to taunt me on THE PRACTICE PAD NO DOUBT!!

What have I done? Did I do, or say something to make him hate me so?

Yet another sleepless night is spent wondering, why, why, why?!?!?

HAHAHA You funny man. :roflmao:

It did sort of work out that way, huh. <_<

I went down to were you were flying, to fly my Raptor all intent on letting you fly it while I flew your T-Rex.

But you were so involved with demonstrating the T-Rex to the visiting RC folks that I did not want to intrude.
I kept thinking that you would get tired of the T-Rex and land it so as to get a few precious seconds of hover time on the Raptor.
But I ran out of fuel and that liepollie in the T-Rex was still going.

You are going to be so so disipointed when you do get a flight with my Raptor and see that it is not the machine, but all in the finger/thumbs. ;) :hysterical:


OBTW - I have got to work on a cartoon about a turbine powered table flying out from under the pavilion.

:yickes:

Don't listen to him Scott, In all my vast experience of Flying Alvin's Raptor (I have almost 2 minutes of stick time) I assure you it makes all the other Helicopter that I have piloted look like a little plastic toy.

I am truly saddened by your plight and wish that you could mind meld with me, or one of Alvin's other closest friends who have shared the honor of governing the sticks of greatness, then you to could understand how just one minute in controll of the power, makes everything in your life suddenly make sense and a soft comforting feeling washes over you like a warm fart in a cold bed. :toiletpaper:

Now I know what Margo was talking about the other day.

:hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: W.F.I.C.B. :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:

Scott, Kris was watching too.. He kept telling me "I can't believe Alvin wont let me fly his Raptor too!!!" ;)

Hey, what's this I hear about a new Ramp Up area for our turbines?
B)

Why do we need a ramp up area for turbines? they can just use the big table in front of the grilling area. :clown:

*successfull topic hi-jacking in progress :yes: :lol: *

That is a good one, Steve.
Seeing as how the new jet turbine engine test run ramp table is next to kitchen area and we all know that running engines in that area usually not allowed, it was not really a turbine test run, but we were just giving the new forced air grilling machine a test run.
Next time we can just put some marshmellows on a cloths hanger wire and hold them in turbine exhaust and should not be a problem. :boxers:

ROFLMAO :hysterical: :roflmao:
