I've said it before and I'll say it again, I want a job where I can be wrong most of the time and still get paid. The weather guessers were wrong again. It was supposed to be winds about 8 MPH. 8 my die'n A$$ According to our weather station at the field it was 18 and gusting beyond that.

I got a few flights in on my Edge before it got so bad it was blowing crap around the field. My first flight on 4S with my little pylon racer lasted about 10 seconds before something went pop. I killed the throttle and landed. When we got it back to the pits I tried to test run it and it let the sacred smoke out of the ESC.:(

No it is the magic smoke that smells like money.

Had the chance to fly with my two best flying buds today. Perfect high pressure, blue sky day. Had just rolled out to load my Radiowave Extra when I had a dumb ass idea to take my 50cc Ultimate instead.
Won't make that mistake again. Never would have thought I would not enjoy my Ultimate. Completely spoiled by my 40% Radiowave. Still a great day with my friends.
Going back tomorrow morning, with the correct plane.

Got out and enjoyed the nice weather yesterday. The Edge is flying great. And the Diamond dust is pretty fun as well. Also flew the Hyperion Sniper I picked up for free, just had to add a receiver.

Here is on of my Edge flights. With @capthis doing some narration....LOL

Well I finally was able to get out and fly this afternoon! Its only been 3 months since I flew last:oblong::thumbsdown: Been busy with harvest. Had a perfect day almost 0 wind and not to hot. I was a bit rusty on the first flight, but it come back fairly quickly, for sure with my trusty 30% PAU Extra, that thing just flies so good!:D
