No Better Than This!

Holy moly, absolutely a beautiful day weatherwise with sunny blue skies, scattered clouds, 50F-60F, and very light wind from the North.  It was a great day with 2 out of 3 sons there.  Tad brought his AW Extra 300 and nano Blade.  Jer brought his Carbon Z Yak and mcpx Blade.  I flew my P-47 Thunderbolt four flights and declare it ready for Warbird Weekend at the end of May.  Also brought the Blade 400 which Jer flew for one pack, and I refrained when he said the wind was a bit much at that time.  All went well till Jer cracked the Yak in half during slow inverted flight.  Terra firma won.  Next Doug cartwheeled his Mentor on landing and tore off the fin and rudder.  Things happen in threes, so next up, Wilfredo lost power on his TRex 500, and autorotated it into the North field's grass.  Smashed a LG and tail fin, but remarkably that was all.  Sleuth work by Wilfredo found that the tank clunk line was disconnected, possibly and probably due to his filling the tank with the exhaust plug ON the muffler, which caused backpressure on the clunk and blew the line off.  Sounds plausible!  A small adjustment was needed on the P-47 to get it to roll smoother.  Apparently the main gear had too much toe-in, causing the tires to rub sort of sideways on the axles, and torque the struts inward.  I adjusted the axles, lining them up as straight as I could to minimize these effects.  I could not notice better rolling performance on the next takeoff and landing, but the adjustment had to help in my mind.
