Default Finally - some decent flying weather...

...and an airplane with everything working. Got in five or six flights
this morning, only one of
which ended up in a tree. Luckily, it was a small tree so I could reach
the airplane. No damage
either. Flying is fun, even if it's just a model airplane. The wind came
up so most of the flying
ended.

One guy had a beautiful model A-10, which he could fly much like the real
A-10 flies. However, as he
was trying to land it, a gust blew it off the track into a soccer goal
post. Busted a wing, landing
gear, and a few other assorted pieces. Hopefully it's fixable.

Lot's of fun!


Working on the boat in front of the house, wished I had the camera. B-24
doing tourist flights nearby. Struck me how small the planes actually
were. Considering the newer fighters and bombers.
