RC Flying

[akflyer 1427]

Just got back from our anual SAM old timer event in Moose Pass.  Was a killer weekend with lots of good flying.  5-10 MPH winds made for some good lift for those of us with balls big enough to hang on the mountain sides and risk loosing a plane.

It was tough to wake up every morning and look out the window at the mountains lol... Note the short wing piper death trap I flew up there lol.

Cool pics Leni -

JHC I used to think we were tight!  You twisting my arm into buying a "short-wing death trap" now's got me wondering....

I'm on hour 4 of the lessons by the way.  Take-off, slow flight, moderate turns, slips/skids, stalls so far.  Instructor let me get to short final before he took over controls so I expect landing will be soon.

I picked up a sweet little composite glider today with two micro servos installed at a yard sale for $30. Wish I could find an Avid at a yard sale for $30
