I thought there was a good chance I would go through them quick so......I picked up a few. First learn how to fly then learn flybarless setup. I am comfortable with the flybar configuration for a long time, or a few months... which ever comes first.

Was great to see you fly the 500, Phil. Glad I was there to see your maiden with it!

In the mean time...


Dustywood's EPP Slick is finally done. (Well, except the SFG's). Woohoo!

John -- just bring your Tx and charged batteries and you should be able to bind it and fly it!

Wow that looks great! The small stars with the black background really look awesome.

Good job, you really went the extra mile on this one.

Is anyone planning to fly Sat? Looks like there may be some thunderstorms perhaps, but weather.com is usually wrong

MSN weather says scattered t-storms.

I'm going to give it a try unless it looks scary in the morning.

Haven't decided yet

Charging batts, we'll see what it looks like in the AM.
Picked up a couple Glacier batteries for the 42 from EP Buddy to try,Gens were
out of stock.The 1800's looks thinner than the Gens, but weigh about 8 grams more.
Dad picked up some 2600's,they look the same as the Gens but weight 14 grams less.
Don't think Ted will be out tomorrow, he has the kid at the moment. Dad won't be out, they
are off to Seattle to visit my older brother.

We had a drop or two hear and there but not even enough too call a sprinkle. It was almost cool early on with a little breeze. It just started to get warm as we left, felt about as hot as when i got to the field last week

Sounds like I missed a good day out, it's coming down hard here now.
