    It's been a few years with my Mobius, I don't think it's changed. You have to insert your sdcard, download the app. Charge the battery and hook it to your computer to setup with the app you've downloaded.

      Well, here we are in Davenport and it's pounding down rain!!
      We've got a couple of leaks in the trailer but I think we've got it covered, not sure where it's coming in from but I'm not going out in this roaring storm to find out!

      Boy, I hope Muncie is better than this, a long way to travel for no flying!

      Grossman 56 and Mrs Grossman,
      On the road to Nefi??

          I arrived here at site 3 about 2 hours ago. Weather is absolutely perfect! I'm going to get a few flights in before the sun sets. I hope the forecast is wrong, because it doesn't look great.

            I hear you, its rained right across the country. If things don't look better in the morning, we're going to call it quits. A long way to drive for bad weather.
            I'll keep you informed, the rain has let up but not quite completely quit,still thunder and lightning...

                              If I had a motorhome with A/C I would have made the trip.

                                I hate doing the motel thing. Sucks to leave the site just to find a bed, I feel like the party goes on and I’m missing out!

                                  I would have got a motel room but I don't really have the money for 3-4 days for a motel. And bunking in my cargo trailer would be uncomfortable with the humidity even with a fan.

                                    Yes I would have liked to spend that motel money on a new plane! The temperature and humidity this weekend in muncie won’t be that bad, in the 60s. You should come!

                                      I had my trailer loaded for a Thursday departure but like I said I didn't want to sleep in the trailer. Maybe next year?

                                        I’ve been desperately trying to finish my Thud to bring. I’m running in to some major problems with the graphics I’m using, and paint, and it still needs some clear coat. I really wanted it to have a NEFI reveal!:Angry:
                                        Maybe I’ll still bring it, if an experienced hand launcher and competent edf jet pilot would do her maiden for me. Any takers?
