Hirobo Lama 30 Bash!

Chapter 17 of 17

Finale!

May 15, 2024

Going to call this done. Other than maybe some weathering and scale do-dads, I will just fly it.

After adjusting head speed and pitch curves, I flies pretty good for what has been done to it. I have another project in mind... Till then.

Joe,

Glad to here it flying well. I think it needs a "cross country" trip from CT to LI in a couple weeks. If not hope to see you and your machines at the Joe Howard Memorial in MA.

Thanks as always, Butch!

How's the ferry ride across the Sound? 😂

Take about an hour+ and roughly a 45 minute or so drive from Port Jeff to our field once off the boat. Ferry runs about $75 for car and driver each way.

The drive around, as long as there in no Zoo York traffic takes roughly the same amount of time however the big variable is traffic. If heading over for the day (Saturday) The morning drive should not be bad but all bets are off for return drive in the evening. If you are able to make it, maybe drive around in the morning and take the ferry back and make a reservation.

Don't know how you do it daily.

Just the thought of coming through Co-op city gives me anxiety!

Ha. I only drive about 20 minutes each way to work now.

When I was traveling for work, I would get through the city on Monday morning by 0600 so it was smooth sailing. 1 hour 6 minutes form home to TEB. 62 miles. Drive home on Friday at 1200 was almost 3 hours.
