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!!!

Flight Log: 07/28/12


Had a great day flying the 50cc Extra 330L.  I had 3.1 flights, and Jer had a full flight with it too.  The DL-50 started the day well, then ran rough at the end of the 3rd flight, and for next partial flight.  It started running rough, like there was air in the fuel right after I did some hover attempts.  Tuning it more at the field did not work. I brought it home and returned the needles to 1.5 and 1.25 (H and L) open per the manufacturer's manual.  Then I ran it on the side patio, and it ran okay, but needs some fine tuning after flying at the field.  It did not however sound like it did at the field when it went burbly.  Tad had a flight with his Extra after returning his needles to these original settings.  The engine almost cut out on his first partial flight.  After tuning, his ran fine.  Jer flew my Showtime and crunched it, but took it home to fix as best he can.  No big deal!!  Before that happened, I had one battery on the Showtime.
