Engrave -In 2008 and FEGA1

[fegarex]

With the addition of the Engrave-In, Blade Show, Grand Masters and other events, I feel FEGA needs to be better represented at these events and sometimes travel is a problem. As we know, "image is everything" and I feel this will solve both problems. Now your president will be able to attend these and show some class at the same time. For those of you that are members, make sure to send in your dues. We need to keep the pilot on the payroll........

Hey Rex, where is the logo on the tee shirt? I want a fega tee shirt! Possible fund raiser for FEGA?

 

[fegarex]

You just don't see it on the front. The large logo is on the back. We have them for sale. go to: FEGA T-Shirts
We need the funds for that pilot...

 

[Tim Wells]

How much altitude can you get without the rotor blades?

 

[fegarex]

About as high as I want to go in one of those....
You people are really observant!
This belongs to the company across the street and it was just trucked in and they used my field to unload it. They didn't put the blades on yet.

 

[Ron Smith]

Observant???............ Heck, you gotta be to be a good engraver Rex, and you probably can't hide anything from a pilot either. Anyway, maybe you can talk the owner into a cross country adventure to the next Engrave-in................Would you stop by and pick me up on the way???? After all, they used your field to unload it...................... right???? That's the least they could do. Ha Ha.....cool picture.......you almost....almost made a believer out of me 'cause you're such a serious guy......Ron

Rex,
I wasn't surprised there were no rotor blades, I figured you already had them clamped in the vise ready for engraving being that they are on FEGA-1 and all!

Nice one Rex,

Weldon

Rex,

We are clearing right now the landing pad for FEGA1.

For observant eyes, this is the area just below our spring, that was part of the rifle Range at the 2007 Engrave-In . With the expected much greater water capacity for next years Engrave-In, this area will be known as the Nude Beach section.

 

[FANCYGUN]

Scott..isn't that area you are clearing for FEGA-1 where the quicksand is????

Engraved rotor blades...yea thats the ticket

 

[Tira]

Rex - I know what you mean about having to get around faster and in style... so I'll show you Cafe One. Sam and I use it to get around for our Cafe duties. Usually, I have to be the pilot - as you can see from the pictures. A moderator's job is never done!

 

[fegarex]

It figures that Sam would have to "one up" me!!
Yea Weldon, you think doing a gun barrel is hard, try to swing a rotor blade in the vise! I might not make the 2008 Engrave In as doing small English scroll on the blades may take a while......
Ron, if I get this guy to take me to Scott's, I'll have him pick you up. Don't wait out in the field till then however...
Tira, I should have jobbed the rotor blades out to you. You're used to monster engraving like this.

[Andrew Biggs]

Well Rex and Tira

Seeing I'm further away I decided I needed something a little faster to get to Reno next year.

Scott you had better make that landing pad bigger!!!!

Cheers
Andrew

 

[FANCYGUN]

Andrew needs a real day job.........

 

[SamW]

Andrew Wins!!!

 

[fegarex]

I agree. Andrew does win (and has too much time on his hands).......
Sam, don't feel too bad. I think this is the only thing you HAVEN'T won!!!

 

[Ron Smith]

Sam, but Andrews' is just a picture. Yours is real and flies, but I want to see you miniatureize yourself. If you can do that you got my vote......uh oh......Oooh ...........twilight zone!!........but Andrew can engrave with one hand and work the computer with the other??????......Do we have talent here or what?......Ron S

 

[SamW]

Must have pushed the wrong button while trying to downsize me...

Any of you high flyers get lost, just come on by for directions...

[Ron Smith]

Yeah Sam, and besides that, look at andrew, He is going the wrong way in his rocket. Is there some engravers meetings on the moon that we haven't heard about?
