The start of indoor flying…mixed feelings…

Mark and I headed indoors this last Saturday. Mark has been fighting and ear infection (he thought it was a cold) and has problems with the colder weather right now. Bill got the flu shot, and now he is sicker than a dog. I have the same problem with the flu shots, only I stay sick for 6 months! But not all at once, sick for two to three weeks, good for a week to two weeks, and then sick again. So I don’t do the flu shot thing....

Another great weekend to go flying!!! Not many left…

I took my XL-700 and Synergy 556 out for some flying at our club field this last Saturday. It was sunny, breezy, scattered clouds, and somewhat warm. Unbeknownst to me, the club was having a night fly…and I had sold my night flying stuff due to the club saying we cannot fly there at night. Wow, things change!

Went flying Saturday with the guys... Mark and I stopped at Mr.C's restaurant for breakfast, and then on to the field. It was a 10/10 day to fly...light breeze, clear skies and sunny, and just the right temps.

Mark brought his G4 and Whiplash gasser. He put in 2 flights on both, however, on the 2nd flight with his gasser, Mark forgot to fill the tank. His flight lasted about 5 minutes, and right at the time the motor started cutting...

Happy Labor Day Weekend! Let’s go flying!!!

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! It was a great 4 days off for me, took Friday off. The weather was better than what the weatherman was predicting…RAIN! However, I stayed in Friday through Sunday to update / fix several helis. In the meantime, Bill fell off the radar, medical issues, so no setting up the governor on his Synergy N5c, and Mark was busy with family…so this was a good time to wrench on helis…get er done!...
