  • EGS for Busterboy please!

    Gents.
    Cutting a long story very short here guys.
    As some of you may know I do most of my flying in Stainburn up at Tims place and I have and always will consider him a good friend.
    But, please don't read this post as biased in any way.

    I recently got back into the hobby after sacking it off for a year.
    The lay off was due to Many things, but mainly due to personal problems, lack of time and interest, hitting a brick wall with my flying, and nerves.

    Basically I'm right where I want to be right now.
    Got a couple of great machines-which both came from Tims swollen fleet
    And Tim being the great bloke he is, stopped short of nothing in ensuring both helis were perfect and up to his usual high standards. Well the 700 actually came in pieces after he decided to trim his fleet and break it up but he gave ne brand new replacement items to cover any suspect items and even threw in a brand new Align 91H engine to get ne in the air sooner (To be paid for at the end of the month )

    We're all aware of Tims frankly legendary hospitality and generosity I'm sure, But the guy has displayed good will, trust, and efforts above and beyond the call of duty in helping to restore my love and enthusiasm for the game and i'm eternally grateful for that.
    I have to mention also that he will open up his field to any of the invited with usually little notice, and even if he's done enough flying for the day himself he'll happily stay until last man standing or until the sun goes down.. Whichever comes first..In ensuring everyone leaves happy and devoid of the fuel they turned up with

    And of course when we have the inevitable coming together with mother earth he's off like a shot to raid his Spares boxes and stops flying to muck in with the stripdown and rebuild to get you back in the air again soon as.

    Not much more I can say really, only that those who've met or dealt with Tim in any way shape or form will know exactly what I'm on about.

    I certainly wouldn't be where I am now or enjoying it as much without this bloke.
    May our skies be blue, and our rainbows be low mate

    Long may it continue
    Cheers,


    Gazza

          I think most people know I'm a fan of Tim. As you say, Gazza, always ready to go the extra mile to help anyone.

          One of the real shining stars in this hobby. Can't wait to meet him in the flesh in November.

          I'd like to second the nomination.

                  Thanks, Gazza. I'm looking forward to meeting the Stainburn heli crowd.

                  As I said in the PM, the Lipo is spot on. Thanks again.

                      I'll happily back up Gazza's nomination for Tim receiving an EGS. Like Gazza I'm privilaged to be able to fly at Tim's place, the encouragement, enthusiasm and good humour is endless and priceless.

                      Tim's enthsiasm for this hobby is unreal, Flying with the crew yesterday,Tim obviously got board of me doing the usual stuff but seeing me on the sim earlier in the week knew I could do more. Off we went to the flightline and started flying before I knew it Tim had talked me through and had me doing inverted hovering and doing climb outs inverted. Tim spotted a few errors and advised how to go about sorting them (me being mode 1). At no point did I feel pushed or uncomfortable with anything I was doing. Again I left the field with a sense of acheivement thanks to Tim's encouragement. Every flying session something like this happens for one of the crew present.

                      Tim's a top man, true gent and a credit to this hobby

                        So far I've only met Tim once but he's the type of bloke you would be proud to call a friend. Larger than life and twice as generous, I'm amazed he's not got as many EGS's already as he has Align spares.
                        He's got my vote and I'm sure there's at least another 100 posts that say the same.

                            Seriously though... agree 100% with all the comments so far. Tims a very good friend and i would do anything for him (well erm nearly anything before the man love jokes start lol) as i know he would and has already for me. Top bloke! And fully recognised in this hobby! Well done Tim
