Sig mist with the Klotz racing oil. Thst gets the old testosteronis pumping! Talk about Sig, when I was 15 years old putting together my first Kadet Jr. I had some questions. So I called the 800 hotline on the instruction manual and proceeded to grill Hazel Sig herself for about 15 minutes. What s treat. Good old lady. BTW that was 40 some years ago. Thought I'd share this as these encounters are rarely heard of anymore. Thanks for sharing Shug. Always love your content.
SIG was always a favorite of mine. They seem to be clinging to life. Never met Hazel but would have liked too. I still have some SIG rc planes. Always quality kits and they always supported control line. Twister is still a very good flyer.
Thankee. I'm off for a contest today in Fargo, North Dakota. Been a few years since I've competed. I've actually had that plane quite a while. Bought it built second hand. Solid flyer. Goes where you direct it.
Wow! I didn’t know they still did this. I remember when I was in third grade back in the 70’s, my teacher lived two doors down and used to fly her planes in a vacant lot. I would sit and watch her. I always wanted to try it, but I never did.
The "P-19" reminds me a bit of a Ringmaster my Dad converted to a Wildcat back in the 70's, Navy markings and all. Flew great as a Ringmaster, not so great as a Wildcat!
My dad and I used to fly these type of planes when I was a little kid. I was terrified of the cox engine sound and the propeller spinning at ungodly rpms. If i made a mistake or crashed dad would cuss me out and beat the crap out of me. Ahhh good times Buzzzzzzzzzz boom 💥
We have opposite stories. My Dad bought me my first one. He flew first and crashed it. We went out for ice cream and BBQ and he bought me a new one (mainly so he could try it) good memories for me. Flew today in fact.
You know, TH-cam hasn't been notifying me of your video drops. I had watched a video or two before and then I subbed, but I forgot about your channel until I noticed your "Hammock Pros and Cons" video in the batch they throw at you because of interests/ so I watched that and began to wonder why I wasn't watching your fun videos. I checked that I'm subscribed and then went to your videos list to see the latest, 9 days ago, and searched back through my notifications, and I haven't been getting notifications at all. I'll hit the bell again and see what follows and check back soon ( write a note to self).
Great site did you guys get a new flying site? Six of us in our car club use to fly U Control. All admitted that was 40 years ago. Now I guess I am most active. But I've been side lined about 8 months. Very hot over 100 degrees for about 72 days. Set records. One other guy has a plane ready to fly. And me. That's it. The other four will have to build and get set up to fly. Maybe this spring.
That's what I got to across from the Airport. Can't fly during school hours on central time last class is after sun set. So holidays and week ends. Wish I could get something more stable. I live on a grass runway. Can only fly when the wind is out of the south. Stuge. And 50 ft lines. I do one flight 3 minutes power lines at both ends. Great video's
December see you guys got that north cold snap. Maybe snow. Ya It's building season. Still assembling my Super Ringmaster. Kit is a Micro Models. Still dreaming about the Viking.From Brodak I just may get that kit. Shuge you and your family have a great holiday AJ
@@shugemery thanks for the content. I found you years ago when searching for camping gear for an elk hunt and wondered what the funny guy in the hammocks was up to..
Hey shug! Been watching for years, was recently wondering do you sell CDs of the music you play in the videos? Or know where to get em?! Love that old southern style!
Happy international jugglers... Every year on the Saturday closest to June 17th, World Juggling Day encourages jugglers to unite and celebrate the joy of juggling. The day also encourages people to learn how to juggle.
I thought that 0.60 engine would be well matched for Tom's plane, but it actually looked a little underpowered. Thanks for sharing your flying! Have you considered trying R/C instead of CL?
@@shugemery I think half the appeal with nitro is the noise, the other half is the smell. One of my fond memories from childhood, the smell of nitro in the morning while holding onto a plane at full throttle. All the exhaust blowing into my face. It was a 10 year olds dream!!

I love that you share your flying with us.
Thanks. Trying to keep the hobby out there for the people....
My father loved it ! Us kids grew up on it like some families grew up doing other things this is what we loved
Love hearing that.
Welcome back Shug!
We missed you buddy.
Thankee. I don't always film when I fly anymore but always will from time to time.
The sound of the red McCoy screaming or the fox 35 !! The smell of the fuel it was great
That smell provokes good memories for sure!
Would like to see you do control line on a frozen Minnesota lake Shug.😄
Done done it~~~....th-cam.com/video/xd4Doj6P5Ks/w-d-xo.html

Great seeing you at REI Roseville today! Don’t forget about that shoutout on the upcoming BWCA trip ;)
I made a note to myself to shoutout! Nice chatting you and the other young feller too.
I love it! CL flying was how I 1st found your channel.
Cool to know that Yo.
Oh Man, I haven't grabbed the handle in two years, that first jolt must have been a blast. Good Show, you're alright man.
Truly. The first flight of season gives this old feller some blast and excitement.
I love control line, I’m a total novice though and you make this look very easy!!!
Thanks...not easy at first. You need to enjoy a hobby with a learning curve and crash repairs!
Great to see you flying!
Thankee. It was fun.
Good stuff shug!! I was going to that you wear many hats, but you actually wear the same one for everything !!
Great comment!
Nice to see you out flying again👍
Felt good to have the handle in my hand...thankee.
Flying is looking good mate and love the new model .

Ringmasters are such a solid flying model...
Good to see you back.
Good to back at some control line fun.
Good to have you “Back in the saddle “
Fun as always. Intense. I need to get serious. A couple of us may shoot for the Fargo Contest this Summer.
Great content. Cheers from New Zealand
Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))) Got out for some flying today!!!

@@shugemery Sounds like a great dad. You're lucky.
Looking good and engines sound awesome.!
Good engine and good engine run equals a good flight.
Thank you very much for sharing such a great video...🙏
Thanks. We flew yesterday. Was satisfying~~
Goodtimes.. thanks for the video
Thankee for your time.
Thats pretty cool! Used to be a lot of people into those model planes and then suddenly drones took over.
Drones sure did. You can fly them the day you get them. For one...I enjoy a learning curve. In control line you are going to crash for sure learning.

Thanks and thankee....Gets weird on me from time to time too.
Thank very much!!!!!!!!
Y'elcome and thankee.
Shug man, you're a cool dude
I think I am too old to be a dude. I request young folks call me Mister. I get odd looks from them...haaaa
Going home with an intact bird is a good day.
For sure. I don't want anymore work to do~~
1:57 Cool bass playing!
Thankee. Just a little riff.
I bet that gets more entertaining when the control lines are shortened
It gets a might thrilling....
Excellent 😁😁
Thankee.
It's the Control Line Bass Bounce!
I done gone bass crazy...it is all I want to do. May give up backpacking as I don't like being away from the bass. Just kidding
I love control line planes. I had one as a kid.
Great memories for many of us as a kid for sure.

We did but limited times to fly but better than no field at all. Control line lives on. Thankee.

I just may get that kit. Shuge you and your family have a great holiday AJ
Hmmmm had one when I was to little to realize what they could do. Might have to give it another go
I did not know either when I was young. Until I saw a combat flyer at our schoolyard. Made a mark on me.....
@@shugemery thanks for the content. I found you years ago when searching for camping gear for an elk hunt and wondered what the funny guy in the hammocks was up to..
Looks like a really good time. But do you get dizzy following the flight path?
We spin both directions. One does get a bit dizzy after a hiatus but we get used too it.
Hey shug! Been watching for years, was recently wondering do you sell CDs of the music you play in the videos? Or know where to get em?! Love that old southern style!
I'm just a hack jammer. I have stuff on Soundcloud....soundcloud.com/you/sets
Thanks for the kind words.
Happy international jugglers...

I bet that's fun, but it I tried flying it would be a crash for sure. 😬
Oh you would. Everyone does. Part of it. Weeds out the chaff.....
Thanks. Looks enjoyable but how do Y'all keep from getting dizzy?
We spin both directions. One does get a bit dizzy after a hiatus but we get used too it.
@@shugemery going both ways as it were. ok. couldn't resist the shot. lol
@@ergot57 Hmmmmmm.
I thought that 0.60 engine would be well matched for Tom's plane, but it actually looked a little underpowered. Thanks for sharing your flying! Have you considered trying R/C instead of CL?
Could be that engine is still breaking in. I used to fly R/C but gave it up for control line. th-cam.com/play/PLahaAdtfX9ZLW32PEiLX2iAN7MG_ZtUSs.html
To each their own! But nitro always beats electric lol
@@donaldhusted5551 True. Nitro is more fun.But electric seems more and more the popular. Maybe a noise issue.

so.... no lipo powered electric motors ?
So, Yes I do have some electric. You will find them in my CL playlist….Control Line Flying
th-cam.com/play/PLahaAdtfX9ZIJYRxo9TS1hNmtMKSvezQn.html
Do those planes burn aviation gas?
It its Glow fuel....
Methanol (Alcohol)
Lubricating oil
Nitromethane (Nitro)
First! Wooooo Buddy!
Righto....but I think you were beat out by one second....
@@shugemery Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..... Sooooo Close. Haha love it! Keep it up Shug!
Can you recommend a starter plane for my grandson?

@@shugemery Thank you very much.
You fly planes too!!!! Is there anything you don't do????
I don't play basketball, golf or poker!! Haaa
@@shugemery keep it up shug , you're the best
Too much torque, need to perma rtim rudder in my stupid opinion
I'll take it under advisement.....
Far out... Now I've got the itch to get out my old Ringmaster with its Fox .35... I always keep extra wing rib templates because crashing comes real easy for me... 😮...
You should. The biplane in this video had a Fox .35 in it.
Are you flying in the DesMoines area? Would love to come watch. Used to watch control line flying out at big creek state park.
