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!!!

Another 14 packs!

Had a good time flying the helis at the field today, in beautiful conditions.  Got in 5 packs on the 450FBL, 5 on the MCPX, and 4 on the 130X.  Did my first back flips, left flips/rolls, and right flips/rolls with the MCPX.  Did not have the cajones to do them with the 130X, but I think they will be much easier then.  The MCPX just is lazy and slow.  Did not crash at all on these attempts.  Felt very comfortable with the 450 FBL today, wow, such a pleasure!  Lots of slow and medium speed forward flight, lots of circles, some not vertical stall turns, and lots of nose in hovering.  Very fun all 5 packs.  Did try the 450 FB, and it was uber sensitive to me.  I should have tried expo and some forward trim, but did not.  I was so happy to get it down in one piece on the mat, after being all over the sky for two minutes.  Felt way too sensitive for me.  I just put it away after landing, haha.  Thought for sure it would be pranged when I was in the air with it.  I think I am going to convert it to FBL!
