I also flew the good old Intruder pattern plane once. It was great and i need to get it out again. I wanted to fly it more but the JB worker was vacuuming the cut grass with the tractor. It was just great to do very axial slow rolls and 4 point rolls with a neutral aerobatic plane! GOOD GRIEF it has been 14 months since last flying this fine plane! Need to take it out again in the next week then.
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!!!

Another 7
Today i got 7 flights again, but distributed differently than last time. Flew 4 flights on the 7HV, 2 on the G500, and one on the old Intruder plane. It was overcast, foggy, hazy when i got to the field. Put inthe flights on the 500 first, then four in a row on the 7HV. While not my fave sky conditions, i did not lose perspective due to now flying lower than i used to when going inverted! Did get into trouble a few times as i did roll flips...for some reason i had brain farts and fed in left rudder like i would in a plane doing a right roll! That caused the tail to really kick out and look crazy! Luckily i recovered each time. After that i had to tell myself to stop feeding rudder, and instead feed negative pitch. All went well after that but wow what a lame brain.
