The I'm going out flying thread 2016

Boy I hate I missed that one Mark but my ride/camper/caller pulled at the last minute. Looks like ya'll had a good one!

We missed you and Wayne. I had to leave Saturday night but, had a blast flying that day. Perfect weather and a huge turnout.

Fun weekend, 3 days of flying! Saturday I got voluntold to fly at a local picnic for Hitec, brought out my old reliable Aerobeez 70" Slick Pro and knocked the socks off of everyone there (they don't see much of anyone doing 3D at that club).

Sunday and Monday I had the 107" Yak out to learn some new rolling harrier related stuff.

It may not be 'competition level' but I sure do love flying this Yak!

I was about to start breaking the Yak apart after flying yesterday when I heard in the distance someone shout 'FIRE IN THE HOLE!' 3 times My club is adjacent to some kind of police training and munitions detonation facility and they happened to be out training yesterday, apparently their training involved detonating some kind of ordinance- not once, but 7 times It was actually pretty cool. Very loud thunderous explosions full of bass, we don't normally see them down there training let alone setting stuff off (been a member of this club for 14 years now and I've only been present one other time for their detonations).

Glad I was done flying for the day.....

I went flying with my buddy last sunday. Got 3 or flights in on my Corvus with the RCGF 120. It never missed a beat. On par with the DA 120 I had.

Couldn't resist. Weather is nice here today. And since the little trainer is now RCGF gasserized with a 10cc, I figured 4 plus years standing in the corner was long enough. I brought it out to put a few flights on it and just play around. The grandsons are going to be so excited.

I don't miss the 72 days. I like the simplicity of 2.4, plus the features modern 2.4 radios have. I don't think I'll ever use more than half of what my 8FGS has...

hahaha i fly with the jr 11x. and i bet i dont use a 1/4 of what my radio is capable of

@Jetpainter what was the interference issue?
