    I couldn't remember what time I left for the Cape last year, looked it up...had to be around 4am. I got there at about 2:15 on Wed. Looking for a repeat.

    We had a blast of rain last year on Friday I think, maybe Thursday, it was over in 30 minutes, flying resumed. Not as chili as last year though, Sat morning I think it was 46! Actually rather nice.

    I got the trailer loaded, minus the 48 epp which I'm about to go fly this evening. My GPS got a little confused last year but Fred gave me some directions around town. They seem a little easier. From the south, exit William st, go right on William to the river(you can see the river wall...

    I didn't wait that long. I hucked a bit right from the get go. Just make sure you have a feel for the engine and it's not going to die on you. 2 gallon on mine is about 30 flights the way it sips gas. Even though the tank is 16oz, 12 minutes and I have 1/3 left.

    The JR 9503 is interesting, 3 of the trims are digital, the throttle is mechanical, you move it up and down sort of like the stick, but in trim increments of course. At first I though WTH?? But I quickly liked it. It just seems to work for me. But in your case you could set up a triple...

    I do mine on the ground at the house, it's warmed up. I also like the throttle trim on a 9503 because I have a low idle and a high idle when in flight. On my dx7 I had the high low idle on a switch. Nice thing about the DLE is the tack you can plug in to the ignition.

    23a. But I wouldn't thing it would make around a 15% difference Ray. What prop and rpm are you running on your da60?
