Flew Friday, using 10 packs for 4 flights on the G500, 2 on the X5, and 2 on the G630. Great weather, great visibility. Tried to mow but the left front tire was totally flat. Got the mower back into the shed with help from Don and Jerry...it would not start to get back up the ramp, but then did start in the shed afterwards.
Flew today, using 10 packs again for the same number of flights on each heli. Weather was not only as nice as yesterday, but today JB workers were not present to harvest sod. Very odd! Anyway, I got in a lot of inverted straight lines again, but dare not turn, lol. I did do a 180 pyro now and then while hovering inverted, then flip out to upright. Also tried getting inverted via forward flips and side flips, but those are shaky compared to entry from back flip which I have done many times now. '
Also flew the Scythe a couple flights with Mike and Brandon. Nobody came close to hitting, not that I could really see that well, but it is going to take a miracle to hit each other when the guys only want to buzz around up high at full throttle.
Before flying, I inflated the tire on the mower with my portable pump from the good old days. Still works! And the tire held its air...I will see if it still has air in it another day.
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!!!
