          A few short flights tonight. Changed some settings on the Mobius to see if i could tell the difference. Sun was just about ready to drop behind the horizon. Wind 8-10mph.

              We've all had that moment, especially when they went over to the new format, there were a few of us, myself included, that had trouble getting back in. I finally admitted defeat and started writing things down, old guy brain, or too much airplane info to process to be bothered with things like passwords....

                Add me to the trouble list. I started posting with the screen name pgiroma, but somehow got logged out and tried to re-enter using the forgot password path, but the link I followed would not let me in using the supplied password. I got so frustrated that I was about to leave, especially since I could not sign up using the same email address. I finally tried signing up using my secondary email with screen name VOODOO. Don't know how to access any messages I received as pgiroma.

                  Weather was great this morning at our club field in Dubuque, Iowa
                  Love this P-38!!
                  For what it's worth....The landing was the least desireable that i've had. But the stock landing gear held up just fine! Note to self: Power thru the landing.

                      Wow she's a beauty, especially out in that clear blue sky! Landing is still cleaner than mine, my biggest room for improvement being a newbie

                        Thanks CloudRider! Depending on the plane, the wind....those landings can be challenging for years to come :)

                            Flying at my "go to" lake with the DHC Beaver today. Had a water rudder sticking on me. Got that straigtened out with a little adjusting.
                            At the 4:40 time. You will notice i realized there was a problem. Infact, the first time i took off, i thought something wasn't right because of how it pulled to the right during take off.

                              Hey Lon, I can see why that's your go-to lake, looks like a perfect spot! Beautiful rc, hoping to get mine rigged up to take out to Lake Tahoe this summer :D

                                          Went to a field I've never been to before. A little bit more of a drive than normal, but wanted to check it out. What a great place to go!! Well worth the drive!! Took my P-38 as well as the F-86 80mm. This is the only video i made there today.
