The I'm going out flying thread 2016

[HRRC Flyer]

Today was a beautiful day for flying here in S.E. VA. It's too bad my Wildcat didn't survive the day . . . . . All I can say is that I'm glad I didn't try the Kaos because I wouldn't be anywhere near as mellow as I am right now if I had lost that plane. I need to sit down and figure out what happened, because right now I'm clueless (which is nothing new) . . . . LOL.

Was going to just go to the field and observe a tow hook release system that two fellow club members did last night. A DLE 111 powered T-Cart pulling a 6mtr glider. BUT........RAIN.

Sorry it did not go well David......Hope the 14mz was solid and that maybe it was an issue with a connection or something. ( not that I'm wishing a problem of anything )

Between the rain, the snow flurries and the gusts to about 40, there is no flying here today.

Gorgeous warm day of flying today. Forgot the wing bolts for the Rockstar so I couldn't fly it, but there was plenty of down on the deck shenanigans with the 107" Yak

Darn 16" of snow put an end to flying for a long time here.

Was a nice 85*F today. Got 4 more flights in on the Yak, 8 total this weekend.

Looks like my Secraft pump developed a bit of a leak without my knowing and caused the insulation on the input wires to peel off. Little did I know that they twisted together until it shorted out on me after I was done for the day Nothing happened otherwise, pump appears to be fine and battery is fine. Need some new o-rings it looks like...

Got a couple flights on the 330 LX today for the first time with the re3's. Awesome sound and the power is unreal. The DLE170 pulled the plane around nice before, but now it is unreal! Great transition and quiet at least until 3/4 throttle then it starts to rip the Mej 32x10 with ease.

Is the pump getting to hot?
