Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

The "G" word sure as heck beats the "E" word. . . . . . .

You just haven't flown the right "E" powered airplane. EDF jets are a blast. Plus I bet you'd fly a good electric classic pattern airplane. It's not like a screaming piped YS, but I bet it would do.

I will say one thing that will be total sacrilege to some people here. I have a Twisted Hobbies Crack Pitts and I hate it. I am just not a flat foamie kind of guy. I'm waiting for a deserving youngster to show up at the field so I can give it to him.

Surely you jest. . . . . . .

Your just narrow minded.

Narrow minded? No. Old fashioned? Maybe. Hard headed? BINGO. . . .

I know all about being hard headed, but my laziness has overpowered my hard headedness when it come to electrics.

STUBBORN! comes to mind here. How else does one not get an electric motor to start???

Enjoyed an afternoon of doing a trim flight on a buddy's Edge and watching all the action. I really love flying down here .

So my new 3s batteries for my electric foamy arrived this past week. It was time to take it out and do a little fun in the sun this morning. And since the sun is still shining and it's not terribly cold, the baby yak is on tap for a maiden this afternoon. Will post pictures and keep you all updated soon. Wish me luck.
