Starting a thread on here for our fellow racer and friend Troy S. from Vegas. He recently went back over seas for another period of time. Just want to have a spot on here for him to keep in touch with us as well as us showing our support to him and his brothers over there! Thank you Troy, and all your brothers and sisters, for fighting for our freedom!!! :thumbsup:

Here are the pics that I have, enjoy. The first one is the Predator in its shipping container. Second is the Predator ready to fly. Third is the GCS where the pilot flies the plane from.

That is awesome! Do you ever fly it?

Be safe and thank you!

No, I am just an Avionics/Electronics maintainer. As I used to say when I was active duty Air Force "It take a collage education to break it and a high school education to fix it."

I hear you there Troy , the same was said when I was in the Air Force . I was an air craft welder and we had to glue alot of planes back together in Thailand after they took a trip throuh Nam . Be safe

Randy, I guess some things never change. LOL

Troy -- My sincere THANKS and PRAYERS go out to you and all of your fellow service men and women fighting for our freedoms.

That has to be the coolest R/C on the planet.

Keep your head down and be safe.

Thanks again for all you are doing.

God Bless.

Tom

Hey troy......... How is that hell hole treating you

To all, thank you for the support. We could not do our job here without your support, so to I say THANK YOU!!! The next time you see someone in uniform at the airport please show your support and buy their food. I had someone do that for me once and now I do it every time I travel.

in2racin, I belive it is a Rotex 914, check General Atomics they are the company that makes the plane.

Tommy, I can not take credit for the pics, they are on a shared drive. I will give you untill next year to get that work thing figured out. I will expect you to be at the first race next year.

John, Things are good so far, just a bit hot (120+). And of course I work outdoors.

BUMP... :thumbsup:

Troy, you need to send a note to Hugh Acosta at effie_1953@yahoo.com He has something for you.

Tom

Thanks Tommy

We missed you up at the race this last weekend Troy... But we all were thinking of you... I didn't here, or I might have forgot, but when was it that you were coming back home? You gonna make it for the Super Nats? Hope so, Keep Safe!!!
