Maukaonyx's "Life is GOOD!": Day of Perfection

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!!!

Day of Perfection

What a gorgeous day, starting with coolish 65F and warming to 88F, with blue sky and sunshine all the while. Light winds up to 5mph early and up to 9mph after noon were variable in direction (wind speeds based on my new mini anemometer!) I flew the Toledo Special four times, the Star for all four packs, the MCPX thrice, and the 130X once. I left the house around 7:30PM and got home around 2PM, haha. It was just lots of fun. Delivered the NIB RV-8 to Joe and met a new member Ralph. Got him introduced to those present, and he learned a lot by talking to all of us as a group and also individually. I think he will suspend his work-in-progress, a scratch Cessna 182, in favor of a cheaper ARF to get him in the air faster. Looks like he will arrange training from Mike with the club trainer plane. John DiG came with a nice clipped wing Cub that he made full span and later reworked to the current clip wing config. Powered with a Saito 120 it was just a real nice flying plane. John has a way with flying at low speeds in a very realistic manner. My TS flew like a charm, and I had fun with the Star in both the early calm air and the later windier crosswinds. Loved the time at the field today.
