What did you fly today?

[F22trainer]

Unexpected day off and got to fly in the early AM. Took my resto-mod 3 channel traineralong with my fav’s the Pt-17 and T6. Nothing like sunrise flying in AZ.
As I set it on the ready line, I hear from The regulars “...you brought a new plane!”
Got a good laugh and 4 uneventful fun flights with it. After winds picked up around 10ish I resumed work on the Ryan.

Still getting settled in the new homestead. Will probably be another week before I can set my birds free again. I did, however, plant my pole and flew my flags again today! :Cool:

At least you’ll be done before it gets really HOTTER!

You know it was the first thing I did here too. Kinda like my pups... had to mark my territory right off the bat. :)
It's all coming along well. Just need to hang the pics and things inside and then tackle the yard. Only after that can I begin on my garage/hanger.

Maidened the F105 today on a high c 3s1800 made for quad racing. It was a pleasure and other than the silver paint's tendency to disappear in the haze, it was a lot of fun and will become a regular model to bring with me.

Right....106 today!?!?! Getting crazy hot already! I was considering waiting for winter to roll back around before doing the yard. Then the wife cracked her whip at me! LOL

[TiredIronGRB]

I was in a hand launcher kind of mood today so I flew a ME-163, P-15, F-105 and an old F-22.

Then I got to spend some time with the most important member of Tirediron Aviation...

I mowed my back field where my runway is at took about 2-3 hours and after I got done my arms were sun burned:Sweating: So I'm going to wait for the sun burn to heal before I can work on my runway. Dumb me I knew better and should have used some sunblock!

I plan on being there done or not. Almost done with the inside now. Just need to put my office together. Then on to the garage/hanger. Setting up the yard (front and back) will get done between the melting points we're dealing with around here already. :Sweating:

Did a little flying this morning but must get some yard done myself this afternoon...

Had a good flying morning. Got in three flights with my Mini-Apprentice and maidened my PT 17. Had a little trouble with trim on it but finally got it straightened out. My landings weren't great BUT the airplane survived.

Well, the maiden flight of the Waco today flopped. Wind was picking up, and I was a bit too cautious with the throttle on take-off. Just got airborne and the wind gusted from the side and nosed it over onto the ground. Only damage was a broken prop, but since I forgot to pack any spares, that ended flying it today.

Ironically, the reason I wasn't giving it more throttle was that I was concerned our dirt runway would drag the wheels, and if I gave it too much juice, it would nose over and break the prop. I've seen that happen to a few other taildraggers out there.
Live and learn. I picked up another wooden prop, and on a whim, grabbed a Master Airscrew nylon at the same time. So far, of all the props I've tried for this, the Master Airscrew is the best balanced.
We have a Xoar dealer here in Tucson, but they're only open Monday-Friday. They usually do mail order, but the website says drop-ins by appointment, so I may call them Monday and see if I can stop by and pick up a couple of Xoar wooden props.

You're gonna love that PT, b_s! I've gone that same route with my training. Haven't even gone back to the Mini since. Well, mainly because it's now my son's main flyer, but mostly just because I love flying the PT-17. :)
