What did you fly today?

[Pauly]

I flew my FL tigercat, cz T28, FL P38, Hellcat, B26, and FZ seawind today, approximately 14 flights total. Loads of fun today. And my mom came back home from the hospital as well. So all in all a truly perfect Sunday in Texas.

I don't know the situation, but anytime mom is in the hospital that's not good, but I'm glad to hear she make it home. She is in my prayers friend.

Had my own warbirds festival today, since our club held our annual one on Saturday, the weather was bad and the flight patterns were full so I didn't get to fly as much as I wanted (but then I never get enough flying no matter what). The weather still isn't great, but just getting out is reward enough.

Also threw in my Yak for a little acrobatic fun. Although this Yak was discontinued, I've had it for several years and I love flying it-have 2 in case I destroy the first (yes, several mishaps but so far have fixed them all so the 2nd is still a virgin).

3 packs through the FW f-86. Its a tough call between the FMS a6m and the fw f86 for best flying foam rc plane.

I flew 3 packs in my seawind off my pond. Was a good time for flying! One of the easiest planes to fly off the water ever, I love this plane!

Here's a look at my at home flying area, yes we own both sides of the road.

Dangit! I really want to get my pilot license someday. For about 3 years now I had my eyes set on the Searey anphib. Someday I hope. :Straight-Face:

Aerohawks field Iowa City, Iowa. Weather is great and a few other club members taking advantage of this fine flying conditions. It may take a while, but i'm adjusting to this retirement thing :)
I showed up last night, loaded trailer in tow. 5 flights with the A-10 before noon.

Took the kids out to the field this mornin'. Another good day... no glue needed! :bluecool

So was this your maiden with the Corsair?

[rifleman_btx]

Broke out the seawind today again, man it's so good to fly at home again. One day I'm gonna get with my dad about moving the fence over by the driveway so I can make a landing strip for my land based planes as well. Anyway ran three packs through her and it was three total perfection flights with touch and goes and everything has a glide slope from 80 feet up to touchdown is right at 150 yards dead stick, just crazy numbers. Absolutely a beautiful plane to fly off water. Flight off the grass field of our club it handled perfectly take off to landing. I would definitely give it a 5 star rating for that, the only weak point is the nose gear retract unit slips the pushrod from time to time, but it does takes some serious force to do so, so the entire plane would receive 4 stars as a whole. As assembly and fit and finish are totally 5 star worthy. In other words the fly zone seawind is one hell of a plane across the board.

So was this your maiden with the Corsair?

ahh.... no. :) Just gave him a taste of the field. Ran him up and down a few times. Even let him wag his tail a bit, but kept both feet on the ground for now. Feeling the confidence building with the Stearman, just not enough to let loose the Corsair just yet.

[rifleman_btx]

Just a word about the corsair, make sure that cg is spot on or you will definitely have a hand full. I have the dynam one and even with a 2700 4s pack I still needed the prescribed 1/2 ounce of lead in the cowling per pilot Ryan's suggestion in the video. Without it the tail will wag in the sky as well as on the ground. In a more angry state.

[BluesDragon]

Yeah, I'm pretty meticulous about my CG. Actually ended up with about an ounce in the nose, although I've just got the 2200 in there for now. Ended up dead center of the suggested CG range to find the perfect balance with the gear up or down. :Cool:
