Forced myself into the air on Saturday, to get over the humdinger crash on Fri. Took 7 flights with my 9 remaining packs. 5 with the X5 and 2 with the G630. Also got in four flights on the Mini Aerostar. I flew kinda conservatively due to the memory of the day before, but I still managed some inverted circle attempts. Just did not trust my vision and abilities.
Flew again today, Sunday. I focused on planes today and had fun with 4 flights on the Toledo Special, and 2 on the Shoestring 60. Great stuff, flying low and fast, and looping and rolling all about. Followed that up with 2 flights on the X5, although I had 3 more packs. I decided to quit while tired and ahead!
Also sold my MCPX with spare airframe, LG, and tail blades...all to new guy named Brian who has been seeking help on helis. He has a Blade 200 with CP and flybar that just is not set up right. While Jer tried to help him with that 200 last week, the thing is still not set up right this weekend. I tried again to help Brian with it yesterday but the heli had little power, and pitch seems too little. Mentioned to him that Tad has an MCPX (turned out to be Nano CPX), and took my own MCPX with parts and charger to him today. He liked it lots after I showed him how it flies. Since he has the same xmitter, he copied setting from mine to his easily, I test flew it on his xmitter, and it now resides in a new home. I was not using it, so good deal for both of us at just $70.
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!!!
