The I'm going out flying thread 2016

[3Dchief]

The weather finally turned here and I had a day of 60 degrees and zero wind for a few hours today. Only got in one flight, it didn't feel right and I parked it the rest of the time, but I had a great time hanging out with friends and playing with airplanes! Helped tune 2 new DLE 35's, troubleshoot a Saito glow with a broken valve, pick up pieces of an unintended upside down landing, and program a new radio. All in all a good day and I left the truck packed so I can go do it again tomorrow, only hopefully with more flights!

Yup...I too left the trailer hooked and loaded. Weather tomorrow is supposed to be nicer than today. I feel a 3dub powered 260 day comin' on.

Hey Rob,
It's about time you keep that Sukhoi in your trailer and fly a REAL plane.

Got some tweaks to do to it before she flies again. It will be next to see the wild blue yonder.

Went to Florida Jets Friday to watch. Right off the bat I'm 60 ft from a Fire Ball that hit next to a flight station. Very sad to see a guy be hauled off in a ambulance, hope his burns are not to bad. Pray he recovers quickly.

Visited a new club yesterday located in Chino Valley, AZ. Very nice setup. Nice long runway with paved pits and a nice shed to stay out of the sun. They have several plug ins for your chargers. The only "downside" is the runway is slope a lot! But luckily the wind favors the right way so you don't have to land downhill. The club members are also very nice and they said I could stop by anytime to practice if I am nearby.

Just a little playing around. @Shayne Epley and myself with our Pilot Edge 540's. I think he has me on the landing sequence. LOL.....

Went out tonight and got 2 flights on the 42 center and 4 flights on the Extra. Turned out to be a really nice night for flying. We will see what mother nature has in store for us tomorrow and hopefully get some more flying in. One thing for sure, I have to get the canisters on the Extra! When I fired up the Edge I couldn't believe how quiet it was. It sure was nice compared to the Extra with the stock mufflers.

Nice flying guys!

Wow. Sorry to hear this. What happened? Malfunction? Bad enough to loose a jet but get burned up!?
