What surprised me was, the weather was just about perfect. The breeze was running between 2 and 4 MPH, with the very occasional gust up to about 6 MPH, and when I left just before 10 AM, the temperature was about 88 degrees. Still, I was the only one at the flying field. I don't know if someone else had been there earlier, and just left before I got there around 8, but it was a very nice morning to fly.
What did you fly today?

Flew my MH-65 Dolphin and LX B-25 a few times this weekend at Bomber Field’s giant scale event. All flights were uneventful, and I’m very happy with how the big B-25 handles.4 PhotosComment

Taking advantage of near perfect conditions, I put a couple of new planes in the air this evening. I put two batteries through each of my recently painted and decaled Dynam Hellcat and E-Flite EC-1500.
Happy to report all went well.4 PhotosComment

TI, I don't believe the RC gods or any of us will hold this against you. Cheer up, it is an amazing feat. Defined as: {An act or accomplishment of great courage, skill, or imagination; an achievement.} My hope is you will add to your total and include an asterisk for your 'void' listed as no more than physical downtime due to events beyond your control.

I'm ok with it...actually it's a relief, less pressure and that's what I need ;)

I was wondering what your day count got to before ya got stopped by this health concern.
Like ya said in your subsequent post................pressure is off.
I don't foresee that figure being eclipsed by any other pilot in the near future

Sorry to hear your under the weather mate. Hope it's not to serious. Get some rest and get well man. Or do your best.

Or you could be like me and be the exact opposite. Every time I plan a fly day, the rest of the world somehow derails it, be it weather or family. Since May, I've only got to go flying three times.Comment

I had 9 days off and didn't get to fly anything. Too much going on with going on vacation and taking care of stuff around the house. I am so out of practice I need to get some stick time with my Pandora to get used to flying again.Comment

I just worked 9 days straight without flying any models - *gasp*...got to fly today, but only 4 flights. Busy day at the field though.
It did feel a bit cautious and some edge of the seat reflexes kept all the fleet flyable, though somewhat ugly on any scoresheets taking tally.
Saw a lot worse, so definitely staying humble.Comment

That's nothing. Try the Philippines to LA via Okinawa and Anchorage. Or Norfolk to Bahrain via Spain and two stops in Italy. Or even flying in a CH-46 from the USS Sacramento, 100 miles to the USS Samuel Gompers in the Middle of the Indian Ocean.Comment
