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!!!

3 cubed

3 flights on the Tensor, 3 packs on the Goblin 500, and 3 packs on the X5, thus 3 cubed.  Nice weather, sunny, and good company on Sundays...Tad, Quang, and Anthony flew too.  Good fun.  Quang brought all his SAB Goblins: 500, 700, and 800.  Lots of good flying by all.   Highlight was when Quang brought out his 500 after flying the others.  He was doing some low flying over the tall grass of the North field, and ended up inverted and crashing in the grass.  He hit the kill fast enough, and actually the chopper almost came back up out of the grass.  Basically he leveled his "wings", and crashed as good as it gets....NO DAMAGE.  Just had grass twined around the tail shaft.  He removed that, checked the heli, and flew again with no issues at all.  Incredible.

Tad flew well, getting more and more confidence with lower inverted flight, higher speed passes, some backwards flight.  Anthony was getting more comfy with his new 570.  I have lots to do to catch up to these guys.  Trouble is as I improve, so do they, so there will be no catching them, lol.
