When Dave Boldt first began this airshow, it was always a pretty laid back deal and mostly his local friends. But others kept coming and from larger distances, so it is a tradition. Dave became known as the flying farmer around this area, so hence the name of the fun fly which actually became a show and it was called the Flying Farmers Fun Fly. I've first came here in 2021 over 10 years ago and even made a video. See link below. Well sadly Dave died a few years back, but Adam Henning, also an advanced RC pilot, purchased his house and the flying field and promised Dave's Family that he would hold up the tradition. That is commendable and I must say that Adam has now built new flight line guards, he mows, he sprays for bugs, he flattens, and does a lot to maintain this nice flying site.
So while I was helping our members get ready last night, I decided to give my 40 year old Byron F-16 a try on the fresh mow. This was before Adam began his roller derby to flatten the land. So Since I am going to fly it on Sat and Sun, with people there, I wanted to make sure my Electric Conversion would tolerate the grass. That is because I have only flown it on the Cement Runway at the airport in the past 4 years. You see, it has to get up enough speed, before the controls work, as there is no air being blown over the control surfaces because the air is all coming out the tail which is true with all jets. So this was a quick test to see if it will work.
Thanks for watching and God bless.
This is the 2009 Flying Farmer fun fly video.
