Last weekend I took the 120” TBM on floats to the lake, snapped some photos and took a some GoPro footage. Not sure how it turned out as it was in superview mode so the plane is kindof tiny.

Not much better than getting to fly floats on a calm day when the water is glassy!

When the weather is good (330+ days a year here) we go play. Besides, we don't have AC garages so they're just as warm as outside.



Fun fact, all of the DA engine development has taken place at the club I fly at. They run great, even when it's 115F outside.

Also fun fact, we don't have humidity here (except for rain) so a typical day is less than 20% humidity. Even when it's triple digits here we don't come close to the heat index of some of you in greener states where it could be the same humidity percentage as the temperature. 😵‍💫

We did manage to get some rain the past few weeks- it gets cold here when it rains!!


We have 90/90 days…….

Totally a shameless plug but there's a new wingtip light system about to hit the market. Preorders are already open for the KBar Lighting System's MiniRails which fit 48" - 73" models. Made In USA design, flies on a single 1s 150mAh LiPo with 12 minutes of run time, and weighs a scant 24g ea.


Larger models are coming soon. I could barely feel the weight on a 73" model.

That looks really bright for 1s. Thanks for the heads up.

Some people have way more flying time than I do.
