What did you fly today?

[RCjetdude]

Very nice. She did really well. Wish I could've been there but I did manage to get a new (used) mobility van after a 14 hour round trip to Richmond, VA. Ugh... I am glad that is over. Are you still planning to do another fly-in soon?

[Aros]

Nice TI! Here's my sorties today...

In the morning, when the weather was still decent...

And in the afternoon when the clouds started rolling in...

Yes, sometime this month depending on weather...I'll post in the TiredIron Aviation group as soon as I know when.

What glider is that?

[TiredIronGRB]

Another beautiful day of flying, highs in the mid sixties...Adrianna got in several flights on her cub today then I see her out in the hanger up on the table looking at planes, she told me she wanted to fly some big...

[RCjetdude]

I'm telling ya' she is after one of your B-17's... ;)

[TiredIronGRB]

She got down John's Super Cub...but I doubt it will be long before she wants something fast.

What glider is that?

That is the Lanyu/Volantex ASW 28. Nice flyer. Low end price point...Plastic fuse and foam tail/wings. Not as finicky as my Fly Fly composite ASW 28 (which wants to fly more scale).

Nice to see new pilot Adrianna getting in on the addict...er, I mean hobby. ;)

I flew my 4 favorites this weekend, plus maidened my new HSD Tornado 75. (Tornado pic is my old 1, as you can see the repair in the fuselage.. New 1 flies great.)

Now that's a sweet hangar right there.

Maidened my 3rd replacement F-5 on Saturday. Three great flights, no issues. Can you tell I love this jet? ;)

What happened to the others?

[seaviper]

I just lost my f5 doing low altitude maneuvers. It does fly nice though. I will miss it. I wish they would do a super scale version

[crxmanpat]

What happened to the others?

The first one was severely abused, bad landings, ran into the pilot box at speed, etc (all of which was my fault having only recently gotten back into jets with landing gear). The second one ended up like this a few weeks ago (again, my fault). I told myself I wouldn't buy another, but I love this plane so much I couldn't resist! :)

[RCjetdude]

Mine went the way your first one did. I even creamed a 6" diameter antenna at one end of our field but rebuilt it. Eventually rough landings took their toll and it was no longer really flyable. I struggled trying to fly it slow or land it slow enough to keep it on our runway and eventually found other jets easier to fly so I let it go.

[crxmanpat]

With this third one, I know how it lands now, so it's easy as cake for me. Before I was coming in too hot and it would roll forever, half the time off the runway. I have added more full flap throw on this one and it lands much better now.

[RCjetdude]

The weather here today was beautiful but a bit windy and a cross wind at the field to boot. None-the-less I got to maiden my 8S Stinger 90. Boy what a sweetheart. Pretty much everything I have heard about it is true. It flew perfectly with no trim requirements and had some incredible vertical. Very fast and rock solid. Definitely a winner.

[TiredIronGRB]

Cool,you need to edit your signature ;)

I had to fly my Wildcat it was so windy...Day 230

[RCjetdude]

Excellent! Keep it up. What will you do when you hit 365?

[TiredIronGRB]

I've heard rumors of a guy or two that may have done a year so I'm going to shoot for 500 days, then who knows...at this point I can't really imagine a day without flying.
