Flying session went well. I even met a gentleman that was so happy to see the F4. He excitedly asked if i had other scale models and I asked him if he know the Hurricane. Lol should have seen the look on his face "of course I do" he replied


It's always a pleasure meeting a fellow aviation enthusiast.

PZ Habu V1
PZ Wildcat
PZ Stryker F27Q
Eflite Hurricane
3DHS Slick V1

......today the winner is the PZ Wildcat....this should be her first flight of 2013.


...i keep my fleet to a max of 5, any more I get headaches on selecting which one to fly. Props to the fellow members that have 10+ flying models that rotate on occasion

Ahhhhhh! After not flying for 3 days I finally got my new ESC in my Slick and went flying after work. I feel great! The new ESC feels great too, but she whines at lower throttle settings, my Eflite ESC didnt, oh well I guess ill get used to it. Still need to find a new motor for the Slick, thats 19grams waiting to be shed.
18 battery day

I can't recall the last time this happened, dead still air 11am. Wow, I finally got my Hurricane trimmed out perfect and she flies 2x better. Thanks to the lack of wind I got her dialed in perfect. I love scale flybys!

On the Slick, I finally found her balance point for Harriers


The Habu found the only grass patch on the field...scuffed her up a bit. After landing, fire engine came, I risked LVC with the Habu just to take off and land so they could see my plane fly, too bad they didnt come 20minutes earlier.

9 battery morning....good times


...charging the batteries and then charging back to the field!

another nice flying session, got over confident while landing the Habu....ended up bouncing all over the place. No damage, kept her upright with no wing or nose scrapes. still... touch and goes are in my future this weekend.

getting comfy with my Habu, I had her since June 2012. I only got 1 flight on her last year. I wasnt ready, I was able to land her but wasn't able to enjoy the experience. Fast forward this past weekend when I finally decided I was ready. I have been flying her everyday, and lovin the EDF scream. My field is small so landings have to be almost perfect all the time.

Took out the Slick Fun stuff!

I'm happy the sun came out today.

I had the Monday blues, I kept thinking of flying the whole day. I finally get out and the sky is milk. I still went flying and it was a blast.



...my eyes were really tired after flying...it was really hard to stay focus on the plane and keep my orientation. Happy to report no incidents.

Awesome flying weekend! I went through a total of 26 battery packs between Saturday and Sunday. I got to take out my Habu V1, I forgot how awesome EDFs are. I also took out the Hurricane, I am getting more comfortable with her the more I fly her.


The Slick.... she flies great, but I am running out of tricks and I find myself getting bored with her...


...maybe I have been flying too much, nah just have to rotate the planes for variety!

Another fun filled after work flight. Gentle 3mph breeze, it was great flying weather. My slick flies great, had a couple of whoops moments. Waiting too long to recover from a flat spin, and got a little too fancy on a short landing attempt. The good news is the weekend is here, the other planes come out tomorrow and I can't wait.
