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!!!

4 x 4

Very nice day at the field without too much irritation from JB workers.  Got in 4 flights first on the G500, uneventfully.  Then flew the Bravata and Mike flew his Rascal 110.  Nearly the same size, but the Rascal has  DLE 20 while my Bravata has a DLE 30.  Speed difference is readily apparent yet the Bravata will float in for landings too.  We had three flights together, then I added a fourth individually.  The muffler seems to be staying on, and my engine did not suffer any flameouts.  My idle seemed a bit high, which I adjusted by increasing the endpoint on the low end of the throttle, to make it go lower.  It worked although I think I hear a little hum from the servo at full low, so the servo may be stalling.  Not gonna worry about it since very little flight time is spent at low idle.  Next time I am inside the fuselage, I will look into the servo throw more.  The plane flew great and we had a few nice tandem passes over the runway.
