I still run a trainer for kids who want to learn how to fly rc. I still enjoy flying them, though they are a little slow for me. It's one of the few planes I still run glow on, and get my fix!! I take it to the fun flys and offer buddy box lessons.

Today's lunch break was a good time. Took my 48" EF Edge and met my buddy who brought out his 85" Muscle Bipe, 67" Turbo Raven, and the old school Filton Extra. The Edge never disappoints. The Fliton Extra was far more capable than we expected. Muscle Bipe is a big ole baby in the air and will break bad when you tell it to. The Raven while I still don't care for the scheme on the plane is a beast when it comes to low and slow. I'm pretty sure you could teach the local village idiot to harrier with it it's just that good.

Had the One Design at the field today. Didn't get it running, no spark from heel boys!
Not bad for 11 years!

That's a good looking airplane right there.

Looks like a Staudacher I once had.

I had 3 planes assembled at the field today. The yak was just assembled for balancing as it now has as a DA in it.

I found out why my 3W kept dying on me.........

I use Viton for everything, $5 a foot but is worth it. After seven years the fuel tubing in my Cherokee still looked like it did on day one. Good catch.

That's a days work putting three planes together and breaking them back down.
Is your grass normally that brown this time of year or is it dry this year? Hope nobody smokes!
