      Today I flew... oh wait. Sorry. Can't say.

      :p

          So today flew the T28, fx79 the 51 and the f6f... then the bottom fell out when the front hit, wind went from 0-5 to 15-20 as well as the temp went from 70 to 51 almost instantly. So I missed flying everything i brought by 2 planes. Lol weather happens i guess:Scared:

            Pat, you made me smile. I have all but two of planes in the pic! F-15 and 90mm YAK. However, if we broke open the trailers and the hangar, then we would have our very own airshow. BUT, we would need an 18 wheeler to carry them all... What problems to have!!! :P

                I just picked up one of those CZ T-28s from a friend. Looks like new, only has a handful of flights, and has a Mr RC sound system with amp and 4 TT-25 speakers. Did not get to fly it today as I spent some time getting it set up before the show officially kicked off this morning, but will get a few flights in tomorrow. Can't wait!

                  rifleman...nice job. I have a Jeep JK which probably has similar storage capacity. It can be a challenge to get the birds in there.
                  Most I have ever crammed in there was three. My fleet stand at 4 soon to be 5 by the way

                  1400mm P-40, 1400mm P-51, 80mm A-4, 90mm F-104, (90mm F-4..TBD).

                  Recently upgraded the P-51 to the same FMS motor as the P-40, but with a YEP 80A ESC. XT60's as well.

                          Hahaha I might have to play with one of those. I've always been skeptical about them being loud enough so I never actually had the desire to pull the trigger

                            Day 569: We've had 2.5" of rain today and it's a swap here. I've been taking off and landing a E-Flite Sport Cub from under the side shed of the hangar, It's really had to believe it cuts through the heavy downpours without any issues.

                              Hey TI how about sharing some of that rain with us 125 consecutive days without any measurable moisture. I still applaud your dedication.

                                TI's undoubtedly putting any wannabe contenders in the dust and out of reach.
                                I'm betting by the time he hits the day he don't fly for whatever reason it will be a record that stands longer than any of us will be around to see it get beaten.;)

                                  Something else new that I flew yesterday, the coming soon E-Flite Clipped Wing Cub.



                                  A guy at the AZ Electric Festival had one for demo, and he let me fly it. I'm not a big Cub or E-Flite fan (although I do love my new CZ T-28!), I was pleasantly surprised at how well it flew! Easy flying, nice aerobatics, insane roll rate (for a Cub), and I greased the landing keeping the tail off for a bit.

                                    I don't ever see myself stopping now unless it's something catastrophic, it's really cool how it seems the planes are just becoming an extension of my hands and mind. Flying helps me forget the anxiety of the day and just relax.

                                        Got to maiden my FW Mirage yesterday. She flew awesome, she rolls fast! I brought out my FW 70mm F16 as well. My uncle brought out his RC Lander F16, FW 64mm A10, and HK Vampire.

                                          It is a good feeling when you just correct something without thought. The funny thing is, you do not realize it at the time!:)It is only after you land, and sometimes when you are having a break that it hits you.
                                          I will be heading out to my home field in the morning with my FMS Shangri La P51D.
                                          Looks like being a hot day 38*C + but I will take the extra chance I am getting with a four day week. [twelve hour day to get it]
                                          It will be a three litre day for water.
                                          Regards and respect
