Doing Battle. Boomer Butch, right foreground, flanked by Baylands flyers.
Seven Baylands flyers traveled to Dublin, CA, Saturday morning to mix it up with four local Boomer pilots.
The Boomer is the creation of Boomer Butch, who cut down a Wild Wing, added a nose and tail with elevator and produced a highly acrobatic combat vehicle.
Led by Dave North’s analysis, we’ve simplified Butch’s design by eliminating the tail and elevator and added very efficient motors swinging 5-inch props.
Kevin Chin coordinated the event. Other participating local pilots were Butch, Paul Viscovich and Darren Sorce.
Baylands flyers were Dave North, Akkana Peck, Bruce Crawford, Larry Smith, Frank Ducker, Mike Nadler and me. Chris Crawford came to watch and took most of the pictures you see here.
This is why you don’t...
