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!!!

Alex went flying with me today, and Tad met us there at the field.  Quang and Anthony flew too, and we had a good time with lots of heli action.  This was Tad's 2nd day with his new Goblin 700, plus he brought his 500.  I flew my 500, both 450s and the Star.  Alex flew his MCPX and also for the first time took the sticks on both 450s.  Star was enjoyed by all of us as pilots, even Quang for a brief shot, lol.

In all, I flew the G500 for 6 packs, and maybe one pack on the Star, and one on the 450 FBL.  Alex really did well, as I thought he would, in control of the 450 DFC and FBL.  Like me, he seems to prefer the FBL more.  He also handled the Star well in the air and in takeoff and landing.

Tad's new 700 seems great...easy to see since it is bigger and the color stands out.  Flies nice and graceful.
The lineup...MCPX, 450's, my G500, Star in back

Tad's new G700 and old G500.

Taking off on another satisfying flight over the North field.
