Did yah get to fly today? Post your pics or videos for those who didn't get a chance to :rockoncool:

Got the dle running very well and couldn't resist giving it a go despite the wind gusting around 30mph.
Horrible flight but she got to stretch her legs and is back in the garage in the same shape it left in so :tu:

WF be wound up,that hos trip must done him good. Flew 8 times the 202,got 2 more 550ma batts,almost as good as vampower,18 bucks for two. Much better than hk 500ma,much. Boy,batts are not the same,you buy and try. Plus got to match batt to plane. Used a zippe 1000ma,to heavy and no more power.Learning curve,just like glow.

Yep,got 2 3/4 flights on 202,beat it up,hovered and twisted and turned. Wind was strong,but better servos and 600ma packs make it fun. Then, went high,i like going straight up while spinning,maybe 150 ft,lost all control,202 floated away,in trim,away on the wind. You be surprised,just how far 202 can float,i was.I lined up on trees as i lost sight,jumped in truck to find,a hour latter i did,unhurt,the plane,me cut up by braires. Batt got thrown out,got rethink my mounting.But fun it was.

Come on,no one flew but plug.El so easy,a cave man do it,if the wife let him. Hard part,charge batts,changing batts on charger,understand why they make chargers that do 4 batts at once. If you got 5000ma batts,3 or 4 thats a lot of charging. think glow better for big planes,but el is easy,even a man from the rockys,feeling poorly,step out side and do it and post some pics while your at it,miss you,wish you be better.

mine either. been below 40 last 2 mornings. frost inland, but not here. still hurt all day. 4 bucks a gallon? oh, including all taxes... to cover all the laws we made to cover the lack of law written on the hearts of those in communist countries...fla. has no state income tax. flat, good flying sites. castle law. almost as good as texas, where "he needed killing" is a valid defense! :lol:

there's better places to live, dude! airplanes need fixing all over. wouldn't you rather live down the street from me or mo?

Them 40 degrees slowing WF down,been in 40s here all week,still,them boys up north got it bad,just think of there power bill. A friend of mine lived in CO for a while,said he always had a blanket and candle in his truck.I had to ask,what candle for,he said heat. Told him,its to stick on dash,so you could watch in mirror,see yourself as you froze.

when someone named beaver starts talking success with ol' saggy wings, my mind goes straight in the gutter! :lol:

is 64 degrees this morning, might go outside today!

i remember my years in louisville winter. had a super beetle, then a corvair van. both would go like hell in snow, and both had shit heaters. now i got the big van, good old v-8 heat, and dual a/c. but with the 30 gallon tank, it'd bankrupt me in cali.

i will say i haven't put gas in it since november, and probably won't till february!

yeah, my 30 hp yanmar on my boat has like a 30-40 gallon tank. can chug to argentina, and probably back on a tank. not counting going 6-7 knots for free if there's any breeze at all.

kon tiki had it right. just go, troll, take your time. you will get there and eat good on the way.

still wanting to go caribbean someday, but when things are perfect here, why leave?

Read the book,tiki,where he floats across the ocean,bigger balls than me got,radar and big engine the way to go,get out trouble faster than got in it. Them ocean storms ant no joke,plug dont want no part. whats max speed on your boat,might put big 4st on it if go south,just like bro plane,have more than need. keep yam,4st when deep shit happens.
 
#1,974 ·
Thats ok,just enought to run from them storms,hide behind land. Our lake 3 miles across,been in bad stuff on it when stripper fish at night,and that ocean bigger. Got some tasty fish though. Cleaning shop,to much stuff but cant bring myself to throw away,i be pack rat.No good for flying,so clean,lmprove shop and start building or talk Heinz 57 into building them. I get him some yellow jacket pills,make him vibrate.
