The I'm going out flying thread 2016

[RJ 706]

We had a wet weekend in Charlotte. Two days of steady rain and sitting around, then finally got a break Saturday and started racing. Allstar race was a confusing disaster for everyone except the 22 team. Glad to get out of there and back home today to go burn some Redline tomorrow. Supposed to be a perfect day and going to enjoy my Radiowave and some solitude.

I was there from 8:30 till about 3:00, they must have gotten there a little later. I was tired and getting a little crisp around the edges from being there the last 2 days.

Considering how good the forecast was, I was expecting it to be crowded at the field today, but there was only about 6 of us. I guess everybody else used up their kitchen pass going to our Warbird event yesterday.

Billy and Ryan went down to Sikeston MO to fly today or else they would have been at your field. They said the same thing about the wind. Almost null till they pulled up to the field this morning. Then it started blowing and blew all day at about 12 mph. They still had a blast and got in lots of flights.

Here's a few pics they sent me.

Yep, walk through one corn field for hours on a 100 degree August day looking for "parts" of an airplane, you've walked through them all.

Took my Sbach65 out for the first time yesterday. Tail heavy as hell but I can fix that. You can see it ballooning really bad throughout the video. fun plane though and was nice to fly a gasser over nitro for once. DLE20 pulled it great.
