What did you fly today?

[Dirty Dee]

My durafly P-51 is the oldest plane in my fleet with the most crashes. Bowed fuselage, questionable thrust line, sloppy gears, spinner scrubs against front cowl.

Got 4 flights in today but wasn't feeling right. I might have had an off day, or maybe I've gotten too use to flying unbroken planes :). Either way, was a nice reminder of how snappy this one flies on 4S, and how well it sticks on landings with Dave brown liteflite wheels. I've been considering retiring this one from my fleet , but I probably with fit it out with a gyro lemon reciever for one more flight session before I make my decision.

Here's my still go to fun flyer , ugly as she is .. Flyzone extra 300 . My 2nd plane and was way over my flying skills a little over a year ago . pretty sure I've busted everything atleast once ! 3 motor mounts and many more repared . even had the wings rip from the fuse in mid flight :-o . I kept sticking it back together ,and she keeps showing me some love .

You have to respect the man who has the motivation and desire to try something " way over his flying skills" bust it up numerous times, put it back together (no matter what it looks like) and keep on trying!
My hat is off to you Hemidoo! We have a fellow at our club that does the same thing, and I admire him for it.
When asked aren't you afraid of crashing? His reply is always; If your afraid to fly it, Don't buy it!
His skills have improved immensely over the last few years. He seems to have more fun than most at the field on any given day!

Thanks Dave ! I really try to be the guy having fun for sure too . I try to improve my skills seriously ... but with a big smile most all the time !

Nathan, day 21. Still working on controlling his speed and making gentle turns. He broke a prop on his Cub so he is flying the T-28 until we can make repairs.

Agreed, but dad still has to buy the parts to fix it. ;)

Thank you, the runway has really got thick and smooth after 2 years of filling divots and sowing several hundred pounds of seed :Cool:

FMS 1500 P-47?? I really like that plane. The foam, not so much... Just a tad soft....

[Hardway]

I flew my F-22 Raptor this morning... I bought it at a local airshow as a combo pack with everything to build and fly, minus the receiver and battery... For 60.00 !!!! So much fun... It uses a 1000 mAh - 1600 mAh 3s pack and I have a Spektrum 400 receiver and a A3-L gyro in it. It flies great even on windy days with the gyro... Best 60.00 bucks ever spent!! :P;):Cool: Well, maybe...

Today was the Votec 322 Hamilton and my trusty extra 300 . Today was one of those days that I got to learn a lesson without paying the price ! Charged up 4 Batteries, 2 6s 5000's for the votec and two 4s 2200's for the extra 300 this morning before heading off to work with hopes of flying and around lunchtime . It was all working out good as I had my 300 up in the air flipping around in a pretty good little breeze and all was good.... Then Bingo no power to the motor ! Brought the throttle down to zero raise it back up a little burst and then nothing again. I was quite far away but at least I was quite high up ... but was downwind . My lunchtime flying spot is a Fairgrounds that has pretty big grassy parking areas ( with hardly any cars during the weekdays) . Anyway I did get it down about 300 feet from me kind of a rough bouncy Landing but all was okay :-) turns out I had a malfunction (me)with the timer that's connected to my power supply for my charger at home, the 2 4s batterys only charged for 5 minutes. I always carry a battery checker and typically always check them before I put them in the plane but today I did not so lesson learned !

Got to the field and up came the wind, damn!
Did get one flight, but it was not much fun. Bumpy gusts and crosswind from behind me. Hate those.
oh well, tomorrow I can try again.

[rifleman_btx]

Always man, my son and I are headed out with the B26, P38, A10, and his sportsman. Its gonna be great!

[rifleman_btx]

Its twins day at the field!

Love flying the P-38! A handful of flights this morning....Batteries recharged for flights this afternoon.

The usual trio for today. 9 AM on Saturday morning- I had the field to myself for about an hour. Totally made up for yesterday’s bust. Calm or light breezes down the runways in both directions. You could takeoff in one direction, fly around, then land opposite direction. Great practice.
