I did to.....used JR right up till they made 12 power safe RX's in my shop non-compatible with their new transmitters. Bought a Gen2 DX18 and liking it a lot.

18 is pretty hard to beat. 2 years without a glitch. I wished it had a hour meter.

Drove up north 7 hours Friday to meet up with Dave Planebender Sullivan and a couple other friends to fly Saturday. Fog moved in over night but that didn't bother us. We just kept it under the 100 foot ceiling (we don't fly any higher anyhow) and had the complete place to ourselves. Did some cool hovering over a drop off below us. Never hovered below myself before, that was weird at first. One of the guys made this video.

We had a great day down south with 60 degrees and blue sky. Celebrated a birthday for one of our Jr. pilots with a cookout and birthday cake.

Also had Charles Youngblood, the VP of IMAC visit with us. After quite a few flights he told us we were all an embarrassment to model aviation and should sell our planes and take up Putt Putt.

Just kidding!! Charles could not have been nicer and we all enjoyed his company and look forward to him returning. So far I have yet to meet anyone from IMAC that was not the same. Outgoing and more than willing to share information.

Hope everyone else had a good weekend and took their planes home in the same condition they arrived in.

Spent the day out flying with friends at our home hump at Friendly Flyers. The wind was gusty and variable but there wasn't a cloud to be found. Temps in the high 50s. Great day until landing after my 4th flight, that's when the wind bit me. Was flying my Funtana 100x, it ballooned and then slammed straight down. Popped the rudder completely off, so much for flat CA hinges [emoji6]. Also broke the CF adding gear as well as stripped the rudder servo.

It was an expensive day.

Had a Great day today flying with Gene and Scott! unusually warm for south Dakota this time of year. I am glad I left one plane alone so I had something to fly! Much better than flying on the sim all winter.

Ok, Today! Sunny, 42 degrees, 0-3 mph winds. Oh yeah, this boy finally got some laps in. Low down to the ground harriers, alien walls, stand still hovers, wickedly insane snaps, half throttle blenders, plenty of pop tops, and my favorite....neck breaking knife edge spins. Amazing what a little vitamin "D" will do for a persons soul. Oh yeah, and flyin' too.
