I’m going out flying thread 2019

Well around these parts the weather sucks, have not flown in over a month, if it is not raining for a few minutes the ground is covered in water. And it is not even summer yet!!!!! Got a feeling this is going to be another wet year.

Sorry to see you guys in "RC Anxiety" . But I have a HUGE case of it because for the past 3 days it has been PERFECT flying weather here but I have not been able to take advantage . Don't know what situation hurts the most .

Unless something major happens I'm going flying tomorrow. Our club is doing a paintball shoot again so that should make for some fun times.

We had our fun-fly planed for this weekend, but just got notice that it has been canceled due to weather conditions.

I was going to go to an all electric fly-in tomorrow. But just received an email that it's been cancelled as well.

Paintball shoot fun fly was a big hit today at the field. My daughter also was a big hit. Was a bit breezy but we had plenty of foamies to shoot down as well as I threw my old beat up profile up for some fun. First they knocked an aileron off which makes t interesting trying to stay in HA flight then a couple minutes later they blew the rudder off then put one right through the main spar causing the wing the taco and spiral to the ground. Great fun was had by all. Will get videos uploaded later this week.

That’s awesome. We do this at my field sometimes and it’s always a hoot.

We need to come up with a design that is all foam, fairly sturdy and.....The wings eject themselves when a direct hit on a "sweet spot"
on the belly of the fuse happens .
