  • Today I flew my muse, my nemesis HSD F-16. First flight with new batteries (trying out the Roaring Top 5500 70C's) and I miscalculated the CG. Turns out the CG was tail heavy (it's not easy finger-testing a model this big and heavy) and my gyro decided to reverse the roll axis. So both elements created this circus flight you can all behold for amusement. No pants were soiled....Barely.

      Nice recovery, though. :Cool:

            Not as exciting but here's what I flew - temp near 60, sunny and winds 3-8 - doesn't get any better than that in northern Illinois in March. Weather the rest of this week is downhill.

            • The only thing I flew today was an Airbus A321 from Phoenix to Dallas. I'm here until Thursday night, and my F-4 arrives on Tuesday. Gonna be hard to concentrate on work! :)

                  Pat, let us know if you have time to meet up for a beverage and snacks/dinner one evening while you're here in Dallas. Dave "Dahawk" and I are both within a few minutes of Big D. Would love to meet ya without having to travel all the way west.

                    I extend the same invitation as Anthony, except I'm a tad farther to the south. Would be great to meet you in person!

                      LOL, you and I have already met once. It was at the electric event in Chino Valley before you moved. ;)

                        I have seen one of those little jets fly, and they do move, at least the one I saw at the field (exactly like yours), had some issues making it land as it comes in hot and with no wheels difficult to track on the ground.

                          *Facepalm* Yeah, completely forgot about that! Although that was 2 or 3 years ago now. And I had 2 years of school to shove every non-essential fact out of my mind since then :Silly:.

                            • I was hardly able to get out of bed. Dizziness with a wild and nasty headache spike had me down the entire day. Life is gonna suck for the rest of the week for me.

                                I understand. Joint pain this AM was not cool. Did what I had to do and went back to bed until I had to go get my little girl from school. So a beautiful day was spent in bed instead of doing stuff!!! LOL Praying for you to feel better Bro!!! I understand!! Jerry

                                  • Indeed, just seems the last couple years keep going down hill instead of better. I mean sometimes I have the better days, but they really seem much fewer and far between. And thank you brother
