Depending on how much flying We do and how everyone plays together I will be looking into that heated flying glove.

36F after 9min I couldn’t feel the tip of my left thumb.

note the bald eagle flying past.
I scared another one I didn't see out of a tree when I was flying past it eye level. whoopsie! sorry mr eagle.

Light sprinkles of soft rain... lead to rain. So I got about 15min of flying in. Played with my trottle curve a bit. And then had to call it quits.


One flight is better than no flight!

Well it has really turned cold in my area it is 14 degrees Fahrenheit right now and the wind is 20 mph minimum. Defiantly not flying weather

Sorry friend. It actually got up to 55 here today. Had I known the weather would be so nice, I would have attempted a little Turkey day flying myself. I decided to stay in doors and watch t.v. instead. LOL

Put my little Eflite 1.2m Cub on floats and flew a good bit on my uncle's pond yesterday. First time ever flying on water, what fun.

so much fun! Is that the clipped cub? Nothing like flying over glass.

Yes on clipped wing. Started out with a light wind and it got windyer. I was taking off later in the day in a couple of feet. Definitely not scale flying. A different way of hovering as I had it at zero ground speed many times.

I had planned to go flying today. I had everything ready, the weather looked awesome for this time of year, I got up early, then I went back to bed because my back was killing me. It's fine now, but trying to put a 21 pound turkey in the oven this morning hurt like hell.

Snuck in one flight. Played with my Throttle curve a bit more. Also took away some expo in the elevator on high rates. Found myself chasing the sticks in a hover. Took out 10% and it’s much better!

You are correct on that one I found my self removing a little at a time out of my expo for 3D and it helped but I am still keeping in the same amount for my pattern type flying.
