What did you fly today?

Davegee,

Snow and floats make great winter flying. Couple club members flew yesterday after our 3" snowfall. lots of fun.
Your plane and floats look great, but look at that great view you get to fly in. Beautiful

Best Regards, Rex

P.S. Is that Indian smoke signals asking for warmer weather or just clouds.

After a week's hiatus from flying due to cold weather, snow, and winds, this morning was prerfect, (for up here. ) Temp was about 28 degrees, calm winds, beautiful sunny morning with no clouds. The blanket of snow at the field, about 1-2 inches deept was perfect for flying from with my Timber on floats, which excels at this type of flying. Just a true joy and relaxing to fly under these conditions. I had it hung up in my garage for a year, but I'm going to keep it downstairs, ready for the next snow to come down to get some more fliying in.

Cheers

Davegee

[f4u ausie]

[Hugh Wiedman]

3 flights on the 90 mm Avanti. Hated the scheme.. so changed it... Look's a bit Blue angels.. but Lotsa red bull decals coming.. will look good ..also did tint the clear canopy

Lookin Good! Did you get the TV nozzles as well?

[Elbee]

Stellar, but I was thinking it was going to be the old William's F1 Racing Team livery (Go Red 5!); however,

Red Bull is Very Very Cool..

Hi Rex: I think probably got them from Callie, not sure. The one on the nose of the tank was one I found in a photo, and I think I had Callie make a couple for me. Even if she didn’t do them, , she’s certainly capable to make more.

[davegee]

Hi Dan: yes, I was out this morning wringing out my P-51 Hun Hunter after replacing a retract that died last week when I was testing it in my shop after some flights where it had worked perfectly. Go figure..

Got 12 flights on it today, short flights stressing takeoffs and landings. These E Flite P-51s are the most challenging planes for me, especially takeoffs. But I had some encouraging results today. Now have 67 flights on Hun Hunter. Once off the ground, it is one of the best flying warbirds in my stable.

Cheers

Davegee,
Exactly what I was looking for. Where did you get the nomenclature for the tank?
