I learned something yesterday while flying the sukhoi. When flying low and slow, turn the high rates off the ailerons.

Today I lost a brother that has been in my family for more than 20 years. Shortly after my 1st birthday my dad rescued you from an abandoned house and you became part of the family. You were there with me through the best of my good times and you were there through the worst of the bad. I know you are in a better place now but you will not know how much you will be missed by me. You were always there for me even if you didn't know it. Most people thought you were only a cat but to me you were a brother who I have know my entire life. I miss you...

My sukhoi finally got back from horizon just the other day and I couldnt wait to fly. Plugged in the battery to make sure everything worked only to find the aileron servo is just crap and wont return to center if you roll right. I am just a little upset but horizon is sending me a new servo. Now for the waiting.

Well I am actually kinda busy at the moment but the servo went out on the sukhoi and I had to send it back to Horizon so they could replace the plane. Just got back from destroying the radian. Turns out that shifting wind=crash. It wouldnt have been that bad but it did a nose dive on to concrete sooooo.....yea.

So I crashed the sukhoi, actually crashed it and bent the prop shaft. I got some 5043 props, a prop adapter, a new prop shaft and a P-51 motor because I need more power and dont feel like doing the brushless upgrade yet. Should have it together tonight but I work 3rd tomorrow so I wont be able to fly it until sat. morning. cant wait

Well so much has happened in a month. I bought and crashed a Parkzone Sukhoi multiple times. I tell you what those little suckers (sukhoi and p-51) are fun and very durable. That is until a slow stick decided to taxi into it and destroyed the fuselage.
Flying the Radian was excellent until I hit a set of portable stadium lights in the middle of the field. They took a chunk out of the wing and and when I got home my cat decided to use it as a scratching post. So flying the radian is going to be on hold for a while.

So I decided to get a new plane for me to play with. I havent decided yet on which plane I should get. its up in the air between the micro sukhoi or the micro p-51. I have heard good and bad things about each and im leaning towards the sukhoi because I like how its more aerobatic.

looks like a beautiful day outside, its 61 degrees sunny with no clouds and the wind is blowing like there is no tomorrow. Its almost the perfect day. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny with no wind and 73. I hate this time of year when the weather swings from cold to hot.

well, it finally happened. I crashed Really I didn't crash because I wasn't in control when it happened but none the less my radian hit the ground. The screw for the elevator came loose after the first flight and when I went to launch for the second time I pulled up and it went up, when it pitched up too far I pushed down and it pulled up some more. luckly when it hit the ground it landed on a hill and didnt damage the blades or the firewall. It did break the fuselage in half but I am going to fix that before I go to Tennessee.

It is now 6:06am and I have been sitting at work looking at so many different thread topics that my eyes are starting to hurt. Finally got the tail fixed and added spoilers to my radian. but truth be told I would have left it stock if I would have known about how it handles now. Well come next payday I plan on ordering a new set of wings.

tomorrow I plan on finally getting around to buying some magnets for the tail and wing mod along with some hinges for the tail because the tape has come off.
