Long couple of weeks. Lots of progress on numerous projects. Weather has been pretty nice here. Maybe it will hold out for just one more day. Marie is finally back together and ready to pick up where the Blue Nose left off a month ago. Tomorrow (weather permitting) will be a Mustang kind of day. The Blue Nose and Marie will be protecting those enemy lines.
Hate the spinner but it is all I could locate on such short notice. It will work I guess. Other than that, everything else checks out real good. I think she will be just fine. Hopefully she will survive long enough for me to get the big "Stang" up and flying.

Nice looking plane, at least it will get back into flying planes with a heavier wing loading and not so forgiving. Good practice for the big one.
How is the radio doing need a up date.

Actually, the wing loading is way less on Marie than ole Blue nose. Marie comes in at a whopping 16 pounds. While the little guy is right under 11 if I remember correctly. 78" vs. 65". And actually Marie is considerably far more forgiving. She's quite high spirited. But incredibly well behaved. At least this is what I remember from the last time I flew her. Which was five some years ago. No, couldn't get her in the air today as planned. The threat of storms and rain kept me at bay. Winds were gusting to 17 across the run way. Not a good time to attempt a re-maiden. But I did get her fired up and man she sounds great. I expect the big Stang is going to be very manageable. Yes a bit heavier. But far more stable. The rule of thumb I've found to be an absolute with no questions of doubt is, bigger planes just simply fly better. That's all there is to it. My 50cc Edge flew dang good. Butt load of fun. My 100cc Edge is just as much fun and every bit as capable as my 50cc was. But so much more stable it can't even compare. My sons big PAU Edge is even more stable, responsive and able to do anything the smaller ones can do. Out sizing and out weighing both of them by a ton. It just flies better and is more stable.

7 batteries flown today. It was a beautiful 80 degree day with very little wind to speak of.

I’m jealous. We had 70 degrees today but the wind was gusting to 30+ mph. So no flying for me today.

I must admit.... I really feel there should be an "I'm Jealous" button. LOL.I’m jealous. We had 70 degrees today but the wind was gusting to 30+ mph. So no flying for me today.
