<br><font size=1 face="sans-serif"> Subject: Slightly Off Topic: Flying Pattern at Night</font></table>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"><br>
It's slightly off topic but I thought I would share this story.<br>
This weekend I was at a large heli-funfly and it is a big thing to fly<br>
helicopters with nightblades and nightropes and such.<br>
Well I had my beater FedEx 2meter bird in the truck, and for some reason we <br>
got the crazy idea to strap night rope and glow tubes to it.<br>
It looked really cool all lit up and I have to admit I was really nervous <br>
but I took off and flew around abit to get used to it, and being that your <br>
so used to flying the pattern I proceeded to fly the entire Sportsman <br>
sequence at about 12:45 AM! It was really cool cause even when I would kinda <br>
of loose it, due to muscle memory I guess or knowing where to move the <br>
sticks cause you practice it all the time it worked out great. The landing <br>
was interesting cause you couldn't see the ground but it came in just fine <br>
and I didn't even break the prop!<br>
I got pretty good video of it too..anyway thanks for letting me share my <br>
story..David Sweatt<br>
