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!!!

Pleasant Practice!

As opposed to my painting practice yesterday, today's practice flying of my helis was extremely pleasant, lol.  Foggy skies prevailed early but I got out there to avoid later winds.  It was already likely 5mph+ when I flew.  Barely 50F but I felt fine and never once ran into the warm truck.  Just drank hot water sometimes.  Got in 3 packs on the G500, then one on the X5.  Those warmed my brain up enough to then take 2 flights on the G630, yeah baby, and then ended with one each on the 500 and X5.  Liking them all, but the 630 is growing on me more and more and might be my fave very soon.  When that happens I will need more packs to fly it enough, haha.  It is just so easy to see due to its size and color, and it is slower yet very nimble still.  With all three helis, I did a bunch of flips and loops with extended tops to practice inverted more.  Also stopped while inverted to pyro 180, then pull the other half of the loop.  Kinda fun.  Need to develop more cajones to try more stuff, but I am hesitant in the foggy and grey skies that prevail in the Fall and Winter, meaning my vision is at its worst in those conditions.
