Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

Got up and out early, at the field at 9am trying to beat the heat. I generally don’t fly in July/August. Today was perfect; overcast and cooled off from rain yesterday. I hated to leave but already had a full day planned. 4-10+ minute flights makes for a great morning.

I got to the field at 10:30, my flying buddy Ken was there already, he ask what time can we fly on Sunday? I don't know, lets look at the rules. Checked the rules and discover flying on Sunday is 1:00 PM! We BS for a while and he decides to go home, I waited it out and put four practice flights on the Champ. Of course the winds were dead calm until 12:30! On the fourth flight I had a 9 mph cross wind, time to pack it up.

Maybe the heat but our annual war bird flyin was sparsely attended. Mostly electrics and a few gas powered.

Super hot but had a fun lunch break yesterday with my buddy doing Bushy things.

I generally don’t try much to fly January February July and August. Although Georgia is a fairly mild state weather wise so it can be done year round.

The Armstrong RC Flyers had their picnic/fun fly on Saturday and I got an invite. Had a great time, spent 7 hours there, maybe six flights. Someone had a real swell 1/3 scale Champ! Burgers, dogs, corn, beans, salads, what a great spread they put out. Beautiful day, clean skies and light winds.

Heading to "Wings Over Piper" in Lock Haven PA on Thursday, about a 3 hour trip. Might stay over night or just come home late Thursday afternoon, don't know. Have to stop in the Piper Museum and get some more photos of the TriPacer on display there.
