Re: What's on the ramp?

The yak was out yesterday afternoon and it sounded healthy

Awesome. I had to share that photo on their Facebook page!

Re: What's on the ramp?

OK, thanks for clarification. The first link I posted was related to my account...

The following links should work:

Video of Voodoo: https://youtu.be/IJU3X1KWLb8
Video of Argonaut as it comes down into the course and Voodoo: https://youtu.be/0rO0qaC42rk

Best regards,

Quite a lot of action today, attached some photos from the first unlimited flights in the afternoon.

So, is Bunny's rudder trim tab missing or just cranked way over? Doesn't see like the rudder is deflected a whole bunch, but I don't see the trim tab...

Can somebody please post a picture of Shanty Irish and the TBM Target Tug?

Thank you

It was missing on Sunday in Florian's photo but now has a bare metal one. Stealth tab.

Re: What's on the ramp?

The trim tab was there but due to the bright background and reflections not visible on my photo.

Best regards,
Florian

Shanty Irish from today noon, unfortunately lots of uprising warm air today which creates blurry effects

Re: What's on the ramp?

Nice shot Florian! Did you get any photos and/or video of Full Noise today?

Good on you! Thank you for taking the time to share one moment of the races as they happen... from someone who has, and is one of many, please don't let the desire to capture that single moment of your week at Reno National Championship Air Races and Air Show separate you from the actual experience of RENO.. yes, one word....

RENO

Sit back, smell the lead in the fuel being burned, there is no other place like it in the world...

Awesome! Thanks for sharing Florian, I really appreciate it.

This has been a good thread. We should add 2017 to title so that down the road it can be searched/found by year.
