On a side note, I went up to Urbana, Ohio Sunday and got to see a large number of B-25's fly-in and practice for a fly-in at WPAB next week to celebrate the remaining Doolittle raiders. How cool to see these beauties up close and personal and to get a chance to see them takeoff and land and do flybys down low. These came in from all over the USA, and they had some on static display with the bomb doors open and loaded for bear. I counted 19 with a few more still in route. A P-51 did a low flyby about 30' off the ground and then landed to join the fun. Windy as hell, crosswind of 30-40mph gust, but it didn't seem to bother them except for a few wing rocks on landing approach. What a day! |

Now both my little Edge and the Green Machine don't really snap. Otherwise I wouldn't own them. Snapping on a tapered wing has alot to do with wing loading. Thats what makes Goldwing, 3DHS and EF such good 3D aircraft.
I did alittle tuning on the MX tonight and now it's ready for some flying tomorrow. I still may have to do a littlew dyno tuning. Snowy I hear they got 11 inches of snow in frozen kiester from the storm that moved through here. have a safe trip. |

I went flying at the turf farm and the whole family came along. My oldest found a mud hole pretty quick and ticked her mom off Then my beautiful wife became the best darn caller there ever was for practicing the sportsman sequence for IMAC. It was a pretty fun little outing until I realized I was flying on a pack that was not fully charged. I had started charging it when I realized my car battery was too dead to start. It had probly been halfway charged before I stopped it. Toward the end of the sequence I was starting to think... man this battery usually has lots of poop what's going on? Well, I landed safely just as my voltage alarm started to go off on the A9.
Also, earlier the wind blew my tx off of a chair onto concrete. I couldn't believe that actually happened... anyway I am getting some funkyness from it now. I think it's the power connection where the battery connects. I may have to investigate further on that. |

Survived the storms!
Actually went chasing because a nasty cell was timed about perfect before it got dark... Got to see a pretty decent wedge tornado on the ground out in the middle of nowhere... Then went back home and ran out west while a tornado screwed up the southeast side of the city... It's actually really messy. National Guard was called up to fix the mess. Lowe's just a few miles away is missing windows. One of the big aircraft plants had the roof cave in. Pretty nasty really... We got lucky the tornado didn't roll through our neighborhood. It was pretty close... -Eric |
