What did you fly today?

[Hugh Wiedman]

Got out with a few of my EDF's yesterday, the Mig, A-10, F-18 Tiger Meet and the F4 Blue Angel. Excellent weather for a change. Got some video of each but will most likely take some time to put them together.

Got in a few flights on Sunday on a few of my helis. Brought out the 500 size Huey, HO3S, and Apache. For the first time since I’ve flown it, I was really able to enjoy the Apache. Tail response is smooth and crisp now. The HO3S is always a favorite as well. It’s always fun to taxi around a heli and do running takeoffs and landings.

Maidened my new Flightline P-51D 850mm yesterday. First pack went A-Ok but flew too slowly and spun her in on second pack. Cracked the wing and canopy, but all is repairable.

It flys wonderfully! (Notice the folding prop? - requisitioned from the Shrike spares pile.)

Hugh, Beautiful stable you have there, Sir. Best, LB

First trip to the field with a new Bridi Dart Cart III. Has a Power 46 with two 2s 6000’s running in series. Big vintage fun, and great weather today in southern Ohio.

We have had months of perfect flying weather here in Central Utah (but chilly in the mornings!) Yesterday afternoon I took out the Shrike after adding some color...

Went out yesterday with one Pandora since I had six 3 cell batteries charged, wow what a great day, clear and virtually no wind after a week solid of high winds.
I believe that's the first time I've flown in December!

I
i flew my 2 warbirds p51 f4u... myw f4u needed some roll trim after straighening the wing... but p51 no trim second flight.. had a go around full flaps. On landing..better on half flaps

Winter snow arrived in Central Utah yesterday. Took out the Flightline P-51D 850mm for its fourth session today and proceeded to crash... again! (4 of 6 flights have been tip-stall drill-bit jobs - Note to self: don't fly pocket warbirds low and slow!) This unit is starting to get pretty ragged after three rebuild trips through the near-boiling water + foam-tac phoenix treatments. On the plus side Its getting more colorful on each incarnation! Once I finally figure out how to reliably NOT CRASH this thing - (I have been primarily a glider pilot used to gentle stalls) - it will be time to build P-51D #2 and then the FW-190 Dora 850mm sister bird.

Here's a shot from this afternoon with Signal and Monroe peaks in the background:

We got rain coming Monday so I got some flights in on the scale helis today, two flights on the Apache, one on the Cobra, had 50% left in my batteries so I charged them back up and got one flight on the OH-6, nothing broke or needs fixing, I call that a great day.

Nice model train

Yeah, my other hobby, its giant scale...

Actually it is my other hobby for when I retire, as you can see in these two pictures, right above the helis a layout goes around my shop in a circle 8 with a cross over, every hobby room needs a train of some kind...

Middle of December in Montana and the weather was fantastic for flying it's so hard to believe. Got out today and put 6 flights on the Avanti.

You are not short of space and dramatic backdrop in Montana. Avanti S is looking good

Looks good 406, I'm just down south of you in Cody. All the space (about 2-2 1/2 hours drive) is about the same, lots of space, unfortunately, a lot of barb wire to keep you off it as well.
