            • It was a really windy day today, but I ventured out to the airfield today anyway. I'd scored three planes at an estate sale this past Thursday: 1200mm Multiplex Pilatus PC-6, 1400mm FMS A6M Zero, and an old 65" Multiplex Magister. I had to change the radio in the Magister to a 2.4GHx DSMX (I went with a stabilized diversity LemonRX 6-channel, as I got this plane for my daughter who's learning to fly). Unfortunately, I didn't have a 4S batt small enough for the FMS Zeke; so, I flew my Freewing Mossie instead. I almost put the Mossie in the trees when I let my speed drop too much on the approach. I really enjoyed the Pilatus, even unstabilized on a windy day.

              And to cap the day off, I traded an EFlite Adagio that I hate for an EFlite 1400mm Hurricane.

                  Are you still landing your planes on the curved street? That's skilled landing if I ever saw it. I almost brought my P-38 to the field, and probably should have, as it'd handle the wind better than my other planes, due to its weight.

                  • Today I flew my Parkzone F4U-1A Corsair and my Durafly Retro Das Ugly Stik. 15-18 mph winds. Too much for either of them - bounced around like Crazy. Still putting the OS engine for my SIG Somethin' Extra back together so couldn't fly it.

                    • Double shifts all weekend, warden let me off today to relax. Took Aku up for 21:24 today, and two flights each on the Stinger 64 hp, Stinger 90, and the FW Spitty.

                        Thanks! Yeah I am still flying mostly at the school...My buddy and I have been flying there for years so as many obstacles as there are, we are so used to flying there we make it look - sometimes - easier than it might be...

                        Today I flew my FMS 1500mm Razorback there, and man the winds were hummin' at 30+ sustained...She was really bouncing around so I had to bring her down in the grass into the wind (terrible crosswind on the paved parking lot).

                        • Weather was really today. So, I snuck out of the office at lunch and went to the field. I fly 3 or the 4 new-to-me planes that I've recently picked up: 1300mm Multiplex Pilatus Porter PC-6, 1400 FMS A6M Zero, 1350 Eflite Hurricane. The flying wasn't epic by any means, but neither did I crash anything. It was a great day to be outdoors, flying models, and not being at work.

                            • Yesterday I flew almost everything pictured here. The red Mig is not mine, neither is the grey sport jet behind it, and then the P-40 and F-104 did not fly as I didn't have packs charged for them.

                                • Pat, You need a Mossie. ;) I need that Freewing Schwalbe. I thought that I took a lot of planes to the field, but you have raised the bar!

                                        I flew the FL Spitfire this morning before the wind got up and hope to fly a few more this evening as it's in the sixties and not a cloud in the sky:)
