Polk City Stunt Contest Part 2

[@TheGoocherLee]

Great videos of the 2-day event, Shug! I gotta tell you that I was proud of you for clearly taking first place in the camaraderie category. It was obvious that everyone enjoyed having you there when you got a huge applause for coming in third. And it was extra special watching you help the girl out and her post flight interviews. I'm certain that her & her family will cherish the footage you captured for years to come.Cheers!

[@shugemery]

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. When you film you get to talk to everyone.

[@kevshelley]

Great job out there Shug! It's a really cool hobby and they're lucky to have an advocate and an enthusiast like you. We're proud of you, man!

[@shugemery]

Thankee. I is excitable.

[@ssiewnad]

great vid..... I almost smell the exhaust fumes. It was a joy watching your fellow club member Rachel fly and place. By the way congrats on your 3rd place award.

[@shugemery]

She had a right good time.

[@b5maddog]

Congratulations to you Shug and Rachel!!! So Proud of both of you!!!!!

[@shugemery]

It is fun to compete. Thankee.

[@fredthorne9692]

Nice to see real folk having a real good time. I can still smell the unmistakable aroma of methane & castor oil exhaust...smells like... Victory.

[@shugemery]

The pew was in the air!

[@aussierc6788]

Saw these videos on my subscription feed and couldn't wait to get home to watch. Love your control line videos. Thanks for your efforts, keep em coming 👍

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy...glad to hear that.

[@copixel37]

Hey Shug, Me and my buddy are switching to hammock camping thanks to you vids hope to meet you sometime we live in the north suburbs of Minneapolis. Cory & Sean

[@shugemery]

Be patient with it and enjoy.

[@terryforbes4038]

Great views of had movement and stance/footwork Nice interview with Jim Lee. I've got to find him on the web. I love the flight line review. Thanks

[@shugemery]

Focusing on that a bit. Never talked about much.

[@yurinator7274]

The Strega flys beautiful!!!

[@shugemery]

Yes it does.

[@ollie4dad]

My daughter said, "It's the original fidget spinner!" Only yours has an actual purpose, holding your line for you. Good stuff.

[@shugemery]

Haaaa! cool.

[@Sum4Seb]

It would be very interesting to see a triplane at one of those events. Congrats to everyone, looked like a fun day!

[@shugemery]

I am not sure they stunt well but you do see bipes from time to time.

[@nohill4climber]

Whoo Hoo, there's a part 2. Thanks Shug!

[@shugemery]

Oh yes Ken

[@Hangs4Fun]

amazing hand work, would be neat to see a split screen or picture in picture of those, where one video was tri-podded and fixed on feet/hand work. and the other video (taken at the same time) was you videoing the airplane.. this way we could translate which body movements resulted in which airplane movements.. loved those speciality tools.

[@shugemery]

This is the closest I have of that....kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3SsaHWmh9p9gtE

[@yobentley7274]

I wore my "hmmm...that's a purdy boil" T-shirt to Disney World last weekend. I was sure I would get some comments from strangers. I had none to me directly, but my wife said that at least two times people pointed and talked to each other as I was walking away from them. I hoped to meet other Shug fans and engage in hammock enjoyment conversation. Thanks my friend.

[@shugemery]

Reckon I ain't no Micky Mouse!

[@yobentley7274]

The Hickok45 shirt did not fair any better.

[@panzerabwerkanone]

That Gee Bee Racer is really cool looking! My brother and I had a C/L Vought Corsair with a Cox .049 ( I think) as kids. Never kept up with it as we kept crashing it or it would get attacked by birds when we flew (really). I have gone back in time and started getting my grandson interested in the model rockets I once flew though. Yes the body styles in C/L flying were strangely interesting to watch. Kinda like watching the body language of my family bowling.

[@shugemery]

It is fun to watch the body actions. Yessir!

[@sharpsdoublerifle1439]

Well...I finished off my Magician 15, painted fuse and monokote wing, I mounted an old Cox .15 TeeDee on it. On a 60' kevlar line it goes like stink. It's a little nose heavy and does not like to pitch very fast, so I'm adding some weight to rear. Also I added a trim tab to the rudder to help it buck the wind better, I'll probably add some aileron tabs as well. So far no luck in finding any controlline clubs in CO yet.

[@shugemery]

Nice to hear that. We are a small but enthusiastic breed.

[@clguy787]

Hey Shug should have whipped the Streaga around one more lap after it ran out of fuel. Would have saved your pattern points. Looks like fun was had by all. 😁

[@shugemery]

I wish I hadda thought of that but my mind was on saving the Strega!

[@almontmaggot1]

Hey there shug when are we going to get thoes sling blade shirts!?

[@shugemery]

I reckon I done sold my "Purty Boil" shirts in February. May do it again someday. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHexd4mJbZmcjpY

[@joshwheeler7904]

My 11 y/o and 4 y/o are thoroughly disappointed that you were in Polk City and they didn't know. They wanted your autograph. We lived in Polk City and just recently moved to a neighboring town 10 minutes away. They badly wanted to meet you. A little too late I guess. Wooo Buddy anyhow! 😉

[@shugemery]

Ah well. Better on the trail anyways. All business at a contest! Hey to the boys.

[@joshwheeler7904]

Girls. But "Hey" anyway. Thanks Shug!

[@ergot57]

Engine size is what separates classes? An entire industry it seems.

[@shugemery]

Not engine size but skill level and number of first places in a class.

[@57koop]

Great job Shug!

[@shugemery]

Thanks

[@ThatsrightIhateyou]

Is there any way you could combined Hammock hanging and flying and hiking for the ultimate viewing trifecta? Im sure you could find room on the back of you're pack for a plane.

[@shugemery]

I like to segragate my passions. One from the other!

[@ThatsrightIhateyou]

shugemery Alright den.

[@yobentley7274]

love it dude. keep it up.

[@shugemery]

Many thanks.

[@SalineScott]

Shug. This is interesting, but I didn't watch the whole video. I'm more into your hammock camping. You're awesome either way.

[@shugemery]

Don't feel like you have to watch it. I have some viewers who watch for the airplanes suff but most for hammocks. Really never expect folks to watch it all. Just part of who I am so I film it and post it.

[@SalineScott]

shugemery Man, that makes me feel much better, because I love ❤️ supporting your channel.

[@bigmac3006]

One cool girl!!

[@shugemery]

Yes...she truly is.

[@4thGloryMonday]

congrats on the 3rd place shug, was that ur daughter that got a 2nd place, although n a different class shes going home with a second and u a 3rd haha great job shug

[@shugemery]

Thanks but not my daughter. She is a club members daughter.

[@lilricky2515]

Curious, does anyone use colored smoke trails on their control line planes? Seems like it might be fun to do.

[@shugemery]

Not that I have seen. Often there is a castor trail but that is about it. Some use a streamer.

[@JimBob-nu9qg]

I know it's not related to this video, but what are the dimensions of your largest hammock tarp.

[@shugemery]

11' ridgeline. 8' across.

[@luizeduardorossi9601]

No electric models in this championship? congrats for you and for your daughter

[@shugemery]

There were 3 electric flyers. One did very well. one crashed. One just flew. Not my daughter but a club members daughter.

[@myemail5990]

Looks fun I'm curious do the planes ever become detached from the binding and fly off or do they have some safety gizmo installed to disable them if they do?

[@shugemery]

Not really but we wear saftey thongs on the handles to prevent that.

[@sharpsdoublerifle1439]

Sir, do you have Lee's Machine Shop's information like web site, phone # etc. I could sure use some of those goodies.

[@shugemery]

[@jannovak2234]

Legacy flies with four stroke engine... Pleas tell me size? 52??

[@shugemery]

I think so.

[@virtualet]

hi @shug. do you know who Jim vogie is?

[@shugemery]

We were on RBBB Circus together if he is the same Jim V. I think he is.

[@virtualet]

shugemery that's amazing. I'm friends with her daughter. I just made the circus connection and thought that maybe you knew him. very cool

[@gregwicks51]
