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).Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

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.1 PhotoLon

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.Comment

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.Dynam; E-Flite; FreewingComment

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.Comment

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:2 PhotosDynam; E-Flite; FreewingComment
