Norm, You better put my straps in the frezer as well. It will be a while before I can pull off this challange.

Final finished this semester of Nursing school. Then spent my first sesson just struggling to hold a fade. I can't be too suprised at how taking four months off from flying has sure reduced my already limited skills.

Just now leaving for a vacation so I won't have a chance to pick up the lines until after christmas.

Three and a half!! Arent fades supose to be paralell to the earth? I was going to submit my video of me completing this challenge but I didn't think anyone would buy that I did a perfect set of nine AVFFF's two in camera frame and seven just out of the picture. I need a better camera person!

Seriously though, looks pretty good, I'm still trying to get a clean 3 then onto 4. Seem to be stuck on two right now but the weather is not producing many favorable days right now.

Norm's video shows us how to do it correctly..it's a matter of doing four in a row with control..

The Challenge is to do it like "Norm"... Not the sloppy stuff I did in the video. That was months ago.... You have to do it just like Norm and smooth... Then you Win... We call the trick The French Flic Flak American version...

This whole thing is stupid, and should probably stop. Just put an end to it, and do this with another trick. If I see one more post about this, weather it is or isnt a A__(insert what will probably turn into 5 more letters here)__FFF or the extended acronym itself again I'm going to explode.

Bottom line... ;)It's for FUN... ::)We call it the AVFFF ... This whole post was for Fun. Norm trying to get people involved and a lot of guys are doing it... He puts up a prize he persoanly crafted, to keep the site moving ... The prize goes to the guy who can do a "AVFFF" four times in a row as smooth as he does on the Beach... simple... Keep it Fun !!! He is trying to help... It gives me something to stive for. I like calling it "Norms Pain in the A$$ Trick".

Snow and cold is kiocking my tail...Between No Flying and snow plowing ... I'm buggin' out.... Took my helicopter to the park today... Used the parking lot. No one there. It took off wind took it about hundred yards away... Into the snow. Anyone want to tell me WHY I WORE CLOGS ON MY FEET... Had to get the Helicopter in snow a foot deep. Like walking barefoot in the snow... I couldn't help it... I needed to try and fly something... Got to learn to trim the puppy out ... Maybe Boots would help ...

First off don't gly your copter if the wind is over 5 mph untill you learn to control it and just practice hovers for a while.

Well Norm no straps for me Not sure what I did to tick off the wind gods but I have not had any usable wind since the holidays to work on the AAFFF.

The flags have either been stiff or limp requiring a SUL or venter kites. Sometimes I get both winds on the same day. on the same day. Last Friday night fly I got there early to face 20mph winds. When night fell so did the wind. When the rest of the gang showed up we spent the night taking turns flying my Prodanceer SUL.

Picked up a couple of nice used kites the Soul for my holiday break including but not had any usable wind fo fly them. With Nursing school starting up my kite bag will be going into the closet until spring break. Hope the wind gods will be kind to me then.
