Gorgeous mild weather, sunshine, calm winds, 65F, and just one JB worker watering the sod farm. That equates to much good flying. I got 3 flights on the Toledo special, 3 packs on the goblin 500, and 3 packs on the X5. All flew well. My only issue was vision. First flights on the Toledo special and goblin 500 were without my yellow sunglasses. Even with sunshine, I saw blurry images, Arg! My right eye seems to be getting worse vision, where it used to be clear. I put my yellow sunglasses over my regular glasses and that helped immensely in seeing the plane and the Helis. Somehow the yellow hides the blurry edges of the aircraft, and let's me fly with confidence. I need to be sure to have the yellow glasses with me for all flying conditions!
New fellow came to the field today. Rocky called me yesterday for info on the club, and help on getting membership and getting training and setup help. Things worked out to where he got his AMA last night, and arranged to meet with dick smith for help. Unfortunately, dick had control but the new Apprentice trainer plane got a radio glitch over an area over the west side of the north field, and the plane met terra firma there! Nice of dick to offer to repair the plane for free, but with donations welcomed, lol. Sorry to see a rough start for Rocky. Actually he used to be a krca member about 14 years ago.
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!!!
