Oo lah lah it was gorgeous today with little to no wind, partly sunny, and best of all....no workers in sight! That is so rare. So I flew my Goblin 500 for 4 flights, then the 7HV for 5 flights, and finally the Stinger II for 2. All went well. The 500 has been making a weird echo sound in the air and I have been trying to find the cause with no success. I have found where the servos or a wire or a corner of the frame touches the canopy, and then padded those locations with velcro. No difference. Have tried different belt tensions to see if that makes a difference...nope. My next try is to simply remove some play I found in the main shaft today. Maybe it will make a diff but I am doubtful. Still there is nothing else amiss that I can find.
Had a blast with the Stinger. The YS63 ran like a top today with power and nice smoke trail. No deadsticks, no issues, just lots of hot passes! Great fun.
Just one other pilot at the field today...Bud. Nearly hit me with this Cub foam plane twice. I was standing by my truck tailgate. Doggone! Told him to take out the right thrust from the motor, but I doubt he will listen.
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!!!
