Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

Damn I'm hungry
Well another good day at the field. Arrived at the field at 9am and went home at 6pm. Emptied my gas can and my one gallon glow fuel jug, gooood day could not ask for a better time. Weather perfect and wind at less than 10 mph all day. And flew my 85 cc extra for the first time and it was a dream flew it all day till I ran out of gasoline. Man this beats the hell out of working.

:yesss:I sure could use a day lake that! Been needing one BAD :beaten:.

Our summer has not been good it is only the last three weeks that flying has been great. And making the best of it winter is not far off. Must say the past 2 years trying to teach my self to do 3D and flying only that type of plane and also just buying that kind kind has made the hobby very enjoyable. Thanks to all you guys.

The rain has stopped, the skies have cleared to a crystal clear blue. Not a cloud in sight. Wind is down to virtually nothing. So what is an old dude like me supposed to do on such a beautiful "EARLY" Autumn Saturday morning? Well duh....!!!! Take a certain 3W twin powered Pitts out on a date that's what.

On the charger and then off to the field. See ya'll at the field.

Ok, got my three flight minimum on. The "only" thing I am considering changing on this plane is the landing gear. I really want to get some c.f. gear for it. Other than that, one of the sweetest and funnest planes I've owned. And that "dub" 70 twin. What a "clock". Just to, tic, tic tocs right along. Dang I love this hobby!

I still owe a great deal of appreciation to many of my friends and GSN family members for pushing me and building my confidence in finishing the Pitts build. You're all pretty awesome.

Dang Rob,

That thing looks AWESOME ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I finally got the chance to see my flying friend's S12 a couple of weeks ago and after seeing yours and his, I am starting to get the itch for a bipe. . . . . . :yesss: Since none of the pictures I took of my friend's plane came out, he sent me a couple he took. Let me see if I can post them.

I love the look of holes and love how they fly I just can't get around the amount of time needed to assemble and take down. One day I will have one.

Just have to say following you through the build was informative and enjoyable thanks for that and the plane turned out great and most of all you are enjoying it.
