  • Beautiful calm but cloudy morning out at the field, felt like a cold war kinda day.

    The f-86 rarely misses out on a sunday morning and enjoyed presenting her freshly-weathered paint job. The Mig is a plane i've struggled with a little but had a very enjoyable ~6 flights out of her and only one near death experience lol.

      • Very nice F22, beautiful aircraft! It was too windy for most RCs today, so I took the Enstrom out to Stephenville airport to get some BBQ with our local EAA chapter. Good food, and great flying!

        • F106DeltaDart A little flight out to Hard 8 BBQ never hurts!!!!!!!! Yummy!!! Blessings Bro!

          Dana Bowman has applied for a permit to have a helistop at his property... I am right across the road from there!!! So maybe in the future, you can drop by if we get permission from Dana...

          • Two flights on the Flite Test Simple Scout, and one each on the Freewing Stinger and Air Hooterville. I'm not sure we could have asked for a nicer day, with only gentle breeze, and the temperature hitting about 70* F by noon.

              Awesome! I’ll have to give you a heads up next time I’m out that way

                • Since I left the EDF jets, I have ventured back into scale helis, just finished up this Roban 600 size Bell 212, got the maiden flight on it plus one more, sweet flyer and it was a very nice kit to put together

                    Sharp looking 212, congrats on the maiden! Was out flying mine yesterday as well. Really handled the gusty conditions nicely!

                    • All the flying buddies were busy this weekend so no big trip to the field. Instead, grabbed the Cherokee and went for some dusk flights. This thing has some pretty impressive lights for a smaller plane. Tons of fun in the evening!

                          Well... not really non-scale. This is the last time I had one out on a grass strip.

                            • Short, edited video from the second flight of the Simple Scout on Sunday. I don't get many smooth landings like this one, but when I do, I sure enjoy them.

                                    Getting ready for a few fun flights when the weather clears...

                                    • Got out to field today and got 2 flights each in on my F-16, F-4, Stinger 90 and the Avanti. Changed the tail on the F-16 from my usual "Wild Weasel" scheme to the Wisconsin Fighter Wing for the first time and it had great visibility in the air. Will probably change the tail and nose cone to the Lone Star Gunfighters scheme next time out.

                                      Would have liked to fly more but the wind by early afternoon turned into a blustery 15-20mph crosswind and our field was packed today as about 20 pilots turned out to practice for our IMAC event this Saturday and Sunday. It got difficult to get in the flight line and my jets looked like mosquito's compared to the big prop acrobats and the big jets (our IMAC this year will also have a category for jets-unusual, especially since the majority of them have gyros, which will be allowed for jets only).

                                      Had an issue with my F-4, the elevator servo started coming loose, causing some erratic behavior, but managed to keep it from any "mishaps". Click image for larger version

                                      • I have been flying my new E-Flite Air-Tractor added some red and blue and high lighted the panel lines and added pin stripping I have put 2 1/2 hours on this plane. Received it Tuesday assembled and painted it on Wednesday and have went out yesterday and to day. Nice flying plane.

                                        • Had a great flight of my 91” Phoenix Models A-26 yesterday. I narrowly averted disaster though. As you can in the last few seconds of the video, I almost lost a motor... literally.
