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!!!

Lotsa Helis

I forgot to post on Wednesday when I flew my three helis and used all 11 of my 4000mah packs.  Ran 4 through the Goblin 500, 3 through the X5, and 4 (for 2 flights) through the Goblin 630.  Due to fog that limited visibility and ceiling, I mostly stayed close, slow, and low.  A good day because all helis went home in one piece.

Today I flew with Tad and Quang, accompanied by daughter Tyra.  I only took 6 packs, for two flights on the X5 and two on the G630.  It was all I needed as I wanted to watch Tad and Quang fly theirs.  Fun to see Quang fly two new helis...the Speed Goblin and the Raptor 700.  Re the Speed G, all I can say is WOW WOW WOW.  Flies like a missle and still does nice 3d.  Raptor flies well too, but Quang says the 7HV is still his fave.

Tad flew his G570 and G700.  Today he got the small wag in the G570 tail eliminated, so it flew well, and Tad was happy.  The 700 was stable and still his fave.  His flying is just improving all the time, impressive, and I want to get me some too!
Our special guest Tyra!
