I was surprised to see the 3 outside thermometers read >40F at the same time, so I went flying. Nobody else was there since the sky did look very grey and overcast. Wind was light, but it made the temp feel colder. Used a handwarmer and was fine. Flew the Stinger II for two flights and liked it.
Did not like my new glasses, so I intend to use my old ones with sunglass clip-ons for all flying from now on. I got the new glasses because the old ones are getting milky white lenses...dunno why and KP did not have any ideas why either. Well, after about 4 rechecks I gave up on going back to get the new glasses perfect. For some reason, the right side is great, but the left side is slightly blurry, and when I drive I definitely see double vision red stop lights but not green. Weird! Anyway, KP is useless even though they say come back till satisfied. I just give up. The old ones are not like that, so I will use them just for flying, and always with the sunglass clip-ons so that the milky white lenses don't bounce all kind of white glare into my eyes. After the holidays I might use the new prescription at LensCrafters or Binyons to see if they can produce them better. If I get the same optical results, then the prescription is bad. Just maybe they will simply produce them better. This turned out to be a long post on glasses and not on flying, haha.
It felt good to get out to fly again after not going for 10 days! Sure showed rust in that short layoff. My landings were bouncy, bouncy, bouncy! The YS 63 ran like a thoroughbred. Really like it.
This is just a place for me to ramble (sometimes rant) about my hobbies which include radio controlled airplanes, oil paintings, my sports cars, and any other random blithering from me.
Aloha and Welcome to my small speck of cyberspace! Dec 8, 2010 is the birth date of my blog. Never had one before, but my son encouraged me to have one, and it seemed like a good way to at least keep a log of my RC airplane building and flying. With the initial design kicked off by my son, I'll carry on from here and have fun with it. Now that I have it, I will use it to also keep track of my oil painting efforts, and any other ideas, hobbies, travels, or whatever else that come up. LIFE IS GOOD!
Update on 02/25/2011. It's been a few months since I began this blog, and I am enjoying creating and having it! I like documenting the things I have done in my hobbies, and sharing with my small family. I think Jer and Tad actually view it fairly regularly, as a means to see what I've been up to lately. At worst, it serves as a reference for my own use.
Update on 12/22/2011. This blog stuff is habit forming. My blog is a year old now, and I make an entry about every other day or so as that seems to be the frequency of doing something in one of my hobbies. Like my hobbies, this blog is a lot of fun, and it has become in itself another hobby that I enjoy.
Years are flying by...update on 01/11/2013. Still enjoying maintaining this blog even though hardly anyone sees it. I don't advertise it anywhere or to anyone, and it is mainly just a way for me to keep my own notes and thoughts on my flying, painting, and cars. If a stranger happens upon it, I think it is by pressing NEXT at the top of the current blog they are visiting, lol. It's a great device for me.
August 2014: still here! Took up flying RC helicopters one year ago and got hooked. Had flown micro Helis up to then, but got serious with 450 size for a couple months, then bought the Goblin 500 and Gaui X5 . Also got my Boxster in April 2013. Most importantly, Ariel was born 12/02/12 followed by Skylar 07/20/13, and they are little beacons of joy in our lives. Life is indeed good!!!
