August is almost over...it has gone by so fast. And now the temps will start to fall...


Protos Nitro build…cont.

The cyclic servos installed without much trouble. However, the throttle servo and tail servo are installed up front back-to-back, leaving very little room between them. And the kit comes with those (in my opinion) stupid plastic screws nuts! I’m not a big fan of those…hard to install, and even harder to install once your heli is built and you need...

Another heli build…after IRCHA! And only 7 more days left in this month…

It took less than a week to build my new Goblin Raw, and now the Protos Nitro… This last week was filled with lots of challenges… Work was busy, everybody wanting stuff done all at once (I support 3 labs), and working on my new heli right after work... Having painful issues with my back, and possibly finding out why…more spinal stenosis(). Friday was pretty much non-stop from the time I arrived at work,...

So here we are in the middle of August...after IRCHA

This last weekend was rather nice for a change...compared to the 90+ degree days we are having! Warm weather, low winds, sunny skies, what more could we ask for...no crashes! I took last Monday & Tuesday off to recoup from IRCHA, and this time to start working on my 2 new helis.

Goblin Raw

I arrived home just after noon on Sunday, unpacked the truck, and put away most things. I decided to start...

It's August and another IRCHA is in the books!

I was able to attend IRCHA this year! And it was a blast! A much thinner crowd this year. I think the pilot count was around 370...info from the Saturday pilot's meeting. There were around 13 venders, some selling, most others showing. There was a lot of flying and many great pilots. There was 4(?) food venders there...breakfast at two of them, lunch, and dinner. The pilots dinner was much better! I believe it was from Moe's Southwestern...

March...an interesting month for sure!

Hey heli fans! Yea it been awhile since my last post. Covid has taken its toll, and has slowed my flying to a grinding halt. It has been 10 months the last time I went out flying. So hopefully this year will be much better. It is looking as covid isn't going away anytime soon, so it will be something we have to live with.

In the meantime, I used that time to rest and get my back healed...yea right! Wound up pulling a couple of...
