nice job

cheers andy

Thanks Andy I appreciate it. . And what a great idea! How about a gardening show that uses nothing but RC's ? That way everybody is happy and the husband and wife are watching TV together once again. Lol
My park is reality, and there's all kinds of reality TV shows out there. Why not have another?!

You have put in a lot of effort to assemble that fleet and have built a great area to play in. I can't believe all the people we meet at shows that had no idea this existed and how impressed they are with it. Your backyard being in a paper like that is a great way to bring more people into the hobby.

Thanks Reg. the reporter emailed me saying my story got bumped, a few things happened in the city so he said it'll be next weekend before he can publish.
I'm sure I'll get some negative comments but if they say I'm crazy, that means everyone of you guys and all the others on other forums are crazy too! Strenght in numbers I say.
yes I'd like to help grow and give the hobby exposure. best case scenario, I find one or two locals who are in the hobby and I won't feel so lonely in my big park all by myself. ....and they can't be weird or psyco!..... Could be alone for awhile....

Thanks. I've tried a couple times to get pics with my IPad but end up with a pic that looks like a bunch of white dots.
my wife has our digital camera and is out of town right now so can't take decent pics till next weekend. I'll post.
The lights are about 20" from the ground and cast a light of about 2.5 - 3ft in diameter. The brightness would be about the same as a typical night light in a hallway or kids bedroom I guess?

Thanks Mike. Don't speak so hypothetically! Remove the maybe and say , " one day Mack will crawl out your pit road" .

Thanks Jo. I'm sorry you feel jealous but glad too . This is my " field of dreams" I'm building it so people will want to come.

Didn't make it all for myself. Ever since I went to Indy and experienced RC heaven, everything I've done since that trip is try to bring that experience home to my backyard. I have the scene, now I just need the people.
