    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Rolled out early today to beat the heat. Funny how by the time you get everything setup and flip the prop the heat is quickly rising. It hit 97 just before the storm and hale showed up. Set a new record for repacking the Flex, but I did get four flights in before the monsoon put everything under...

    Wasn't the first one at the field, but I was the last to leave. Back out tomorrow. Happiness is recharged batteries and a fresh can of 40/1.

    Batteries charged and ready to go. Hope I never loose this feeling! Sunrise can't get here soon enough. If it has wings I like it, but after getting my 40% Radiowave it took this addiction to another level. Can never thank Al and Kevin enough for their support.

    Does this count as going flying? On my way to Watkins Glen this morning. I did get out yesterday morning and burned some Redline for a few hours.

    Everyone is entitled to their point of view be it pro or con. Interestingly the same as you, my information came from in the room also as well as from another reliable person in Muncie. Always three sides to every story. Great to live in a country which affords freedom of thought and expression.

    Frank Tiano, Candidate for AMA President

    Having grown up in a family in politics I learned first hand any chairman, president, or director knows how the vote will go before putting something on the table. Politics 101. Although I disagree with the direction President Brown took with regard to MR's, I would applaud him for knowing who...

    Frank Tiano, Candidate for AMA President

    You are correct. All pilots have to be AMA members to race. So for my misguided negative assumption I have to apologize. Yet, I will remain steadfast we need a house cleaning to insure the MAJORITY is properly represented as it relates to the direction of the AMA and allocation of fiscal...

    Frank Tiano, Candidate for AMA President

    During all the dribble and mutual back slapping they were not bragging about how many of those that raced or managed the event were AMA members. Did we, the dues paying AMA members pay for his travel and living expense to bond with his new fan base??????? I would have to think he will continue...

    Wish I was piloting today, but Delta already promised a more qualified person they could handle the controls out to San Francisco this morning.

    Impressive Customer Service

    Needed help today with my new Cell Pro 10XP charger. I called their customer service number and spoke with Howard, who quickly resolved my issue. Greatly appreciate a company with proactive service. BTW, the problem was with the user, not the charger. Charger works perfectly.

    Got familiar with my new CellPro 10XP and started loading up to go fly this afternoon, then the blue sky faded. Thunderstorm season down south and that sent me back to use the store charge feature on my new charger. Moving from Hyperion to Cellpro is quite a change and going to take some getting...

    Dodged the weather, did some aerials and got the Coke 600 run on time and glad to get home. Today was as good as it gets down south this time of year. 3 to 5 breeze, white puffy clouds, and 86 degrees. Drove over to Trenton, SC and got in 5 flights on the 40% and four flights on my electric...
