The I'm going out flying thread 2016

and the Season is just starting.

This is So Cali, we don't have 'seasons'

Proper maintenance DOES save planes.

This wasn't maintenance related in any way.

And of course not pushing the envelope farther than your skills allow.

Nonsense, if you're not about to crash every minute then you're not having fun!

Sorry to see you wreck but your right if your not flying on the edge of your skills then your not having fun!

I can have fun flying conservatively, but the first time I did a complete pass around the field in a harrier about 6 feet off the ground I was so happy you couldn't beat the smile off my face.

I know a few who fly on the "edge" all the time and they have no skills.

I fly on the edge all the time. Main reason for my Call Sign Wildman. I do it for fun and relaxation. Here I am very relaxed having fun!!

Really sorry Tanner. Hate seeing carnage so early in the season. Hope you find out what the cause was.

Meanwhile, I took a little trip south to fly this weekend with my pal Joe @Flyrcjoe. What an awesome guy. And Nichole his wife is top shelf! She makes some ass kicking biscuits and gravy.


I want to thank them both for their simply awesome hospitality. I had a perfect weekend flying and having fun. Good to meet a new friend too. Jarod @Naughty Monkey showed up. Cool planes and really really fast turbine jets. Thanks again Joe. And especially for letting me yank on the sticks of that really big ass Cap.

Gotta tell ya, the Cap and Elenore are superb!

I'll upload a video once I get home.

Went out this morning about 8:30 and got one flight in and then snapped my tail wheel. [emoji13] It's the second tail wheel on my AW freestyle 260. I guess I need a stouter tail wheel. Too many harrier landings in the last while I guess. I got one from my buddy @ericrs that he took off his 50cc PAU extra. That should be stout enough I imagine.

Well she went in today

I can't say why or what happened, all I know is now I'm short 1 airplane. I am going to transfer most of the gear into my Aerobeez 70" Slick so I'll at least have a mini giant to play with. And right as I got the thing dialed in to how I wanted it too!

Maybe it's time for a 100cc

Man! Sorry for your loss. Check out fly models. Inexpensive yet good flying birds. @emtp275 likes his.
