    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    Our big annual ‘Extreme Flight’ flyin was somewhat reduced in size due to rescheduling (rain).

    Pancake landings cover a wide range of prop sizes………. :confused:

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    I’ve had a little 20cc Carbon Cub unused/taking up space in my trailer for a couple of years. Underpowered plus extra setup time so I only flew it a few times. It was close to being unloaded and abandoned at my shop but I ended up giving it away today. Many many years ago in my .60 size plane...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Many years ago I was flying a trainer during a hurricane (Andrew?) and I was able to slow it to a complete stop in the wind. It was amazingly fun. After a couple of tanks of fuel I started letting the plane drift backwards in the wind. It was bizarre, almost surreal watching the plane fly...

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    With my infrequent flying and our fairly tight field is in a mountainous (and trees) area my landing skills struggle. I am developing a reputation for going through props regularly. I primarily fly my 120cc Yak so 28x10 props are $100+……. Sunday was pretty slow so the team president worked...

    It’s that time of the year, miserable cold weather around the corner. A wonderful 75+ degrees for the last day at our neighborhood pool.

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    Between intermittent rain I flew more today than I have in months. Nice breeze, summer heat is gone and I get enough football out of my system on Saturdays to just enjoy the day. With the heat gone I am going to try to fly twice a week this fall.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    On windier days I like to hang my plane high up in the wind and let it drift across the field.

    Planes charged but opted out today. 92 degrees is a bit warm. I’ll reconsider in the morning.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I bought a mill rotary table (Vevor). Shockingly poorly made but oh well, high accuracy not needed in the hobby world.

    Going back to Nall next year? The rainy Friday kept me away last year.

    What beer ya drinking tonight?

    Late in the day and late in the summer. I had to pool all to myself for a few hours. Couple of Tropicalias were consumed.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I actually switched to high rates landings in the last 2 years or 2. A better pilot recommended it and it stuck with me.l

    Welded the winch to my excavator and lowered it down the hill today.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Going to try to bolt/weld a wench to my mini excavator so as to back it down a steep hill. I started with drilling out a piece of steel plate to bolt to a new 12,000 wench. I might weld the plate to the excavator push blade and cut it off later.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Took my lazy butt to my hobby room and forced myself to get back to this build. In my defense I am spending a lot of weekend time at my shop recently. Aileron control arms are raised/reset and the Hysol is drying. Covering should resume this week.
