Took the Sensei up for two flights this morning. Not the prettiest of landings today, but not so bad as to have done any damage.

flew the citation 1 time and the rh gear pulled from the wing......13 flights on it and the gear had barely any glue on it.3 Photos

Flew the Cessna 150 and the FMS F-18F 70mm in a gnarly cross wind. Both handled it like a breeze. Wow, I just realized that was a really bad pun. LOLMy YouTube RC videos:

You guys would have enjoyed this - the view from our ‘classroom’ this morning. Doing on-site training this week and after 4 hours of familiarization we did 2 hour flights with each pilot. So a SUNNY spring afternoon over the central Utah valley and 4hours in a twin turbocharged, pressurized beauty.
But I miss my RC hangar when the weather is this nice, even more so when you could actually fly from a real runway and no problems with full size aircraft...yup it is that deserted.1 Photo

Wave as you go by, Rifleman. Oh, and if you have a little time to spend in the Old Pueblo, the Pima Air and Space museum, just east of I-10 on Valencia Road, has one incredible collection of aircraft, including one of the few remaining B-36 bombers. You can see the tails of many of their aircraft from the freeway.
Of course, you can also see the tails of the C-5 Galaxies in storage in the Davis-Monthan Boneyard from the freeway.
If you're here for the weekend, and looking for the best attractions, the one I tell everyone is the "must see" is the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. It's part natural history museum, part botanical garden, part wildlife park, part aviary, part art gallery, and even part aquarium. It's great for kids and adults alike, and one of our favorite destinations with our cameras.
If you want to take a little time to fly in the desert, I'm sure you'd be welcome to stop by and fly at the SAGE field, provided you're an AMA member (that's their biggest rule for guest pilots). Exit the freeway at Twin Peaks Road in Marana, on the west side of the Tucson area, and turn south. At Silverbell Road, you take a right and immediately get into the left lane to curve up through the pass between the two peaks. Stay on Twin Peaks road until you reach Glover Ranch, where the road ends, and then take a right on the dirt road (there's a sign pointing to SAGE.). Our field is about 1/4 mile on the right.
