check this out guys !!
« on: July 28, 2006, 09:01:33 PM »
Hey Everybody!

I just got the coolest reader-letter from one of our fans! I just HAD to share with you!
He built a RC plane and needed a "pilot" to fly it. Since it's electric he figured "Sparks" would be the perfect guy for it.
Check it out!
Cool, huh?!?!

Wow! that a really nice kudos!  |:)\ |:)\ |:)\ |:)\
Sparks on a real flight (and we have to presume he got the license, even if Chuck was his instructor, ehehehe!). :)
I give that landing a 9 . . . on the Richter scale.

Don't be silly :D
Sparks doesn't need a license, it's obviously an ultralite aircraft. ;)

A pilot is a confused soul who talks about women when he's around airplanes, and airplanes when he's around women.

Veryyyyy cool!!!!!!

Some of those RC guys build the most amazing things!  I'll have to rummage around on my PC to find it, but I've got some photos of planes you would swear are the full-up real things... then the next shot shows it to be an RC!  One guy I have shots of somewhere built a huge C-17 replica, and it's all turbine driven to boot!  Absolutely incredible stuff!

Oh, sweet!
Hey guys, we're preggers now (or, at least Mrs Velo is) and we're working on a design for the baby's room.
I think we're going to do a green lower half, with blue sky and clouds on the upper half. On the bottom we're going
 to do some cartoon characters like Snoopy and Winnie the Pooh, but I think in the sky I want to have Chuck flying something.
Is that ok with you guys? I promise to take a pic and post it if/when the wifey lets me do it. (I think she will, she's helping build the
801)

Preggers HUH!    I guess the 801 ain't all she helped build  :D  (or was it you in the supporting role)
Seriously, the blue sky ceiling with clouds is great---saw a room done that way and it was fantastic---they rounded the square ceiling/wall corners and continued about a 3rd of the way down the wall with the blue.

I think it'll be cool. She doesn't want to know the gender right away so I figured this work work well either way (I never much cared for the blue/pink thing anyway).
It's a good thing we picked a 4 seat flying SUV, eh?

Nothing better than getting the little tyke started early on his Chicken Wings experience....   ;D :D

Congratulations Velo !!!  |:)\

Hey Mike!!  That sounds like another store item idea in the making!!  CW Stickers and/or sticker books, temporary tatoos, and wallpaper or wallpaper trim rolls! :)  A screen saver could be cool too!!

Congratulations, velojym!!!  Glad to hear you're going to have a little aviator running around soon!!  Keep us posted!!

 :) ;D

Ohh! I just saw once a picture alike. it was the one of the child of a friend of mine, the first toddler I've ever taken in my arms, at first when she was born from 23 hrs, last year  :) .
At what week is lil Chuck (or lil Sally) now? When is s/he expected?
