What's your build plans for the winter?

I flew a friend's 4 star 40 last year. I was surprised by how much fun it was.

I flew a friend's 4 star 40 last year. I was surprised by how much fun it was.

I had a blast with mine....it was the last glow plane in my fleet, flew the snot out of it!!! I told myself this is your last glow plane, once it crashes, glow is done.

Soooo I was doing full power rudder drags one day and the grass decided to grab hold real hard on one pass, it slammed into the ground, ripped the tail off, smashed the canopy and the engine went flying off....after it eject all those parts, it went back up into the air about 8 feet, righted itself and plopped back on the ground on the gear.

I never laughed so hard in my life, all the guys at the field were astonished by what just happened. That would have been a great video!!!

I told one of the younger members to go out and grab your new plane, I just want the receiver out of it. He texted me about 1.5 days later and said it was ready to fly again.

I have a Hangar J3 Cub (90"ish) wingspan that I am going to convert to 6S electric. It's a slimer now, but I got it with motor and servos for $20 from someone that just wanted it gone! I love Cubs.

I will sell you mine for a good price. I replaced it with the GT15.

Well, after a small "break" from flying I am really looking forward to the winter building. I an not 100% sure on everything I am going to build but some fun will be had. I have a 30cc QQ yak that needs to get finished. This one has been planned for a while. Picked up some Hyperion Enigmas on the cheap sale. One to fly and a backup kit. Planning on doing a 48" EF edge or an Addiction X. I already have gear and plenty of packs so that makes it easy. I really want a just for fun slow and low plane so the Addy is really apealing. I have a thing for small planes so I am hoping to pick up an orange 42" slick. I also have some depron parkjets to wrap up and a baby shark that needs gear installed.

Sounds like a good list there. I was wondering when you would re-surface

We had a very wet, windy spring her in Michigan. It was dicouraging so I jumped on my mountain bike and hammered on. lost 30 lbs, did some races. I even won a race (beginner) class I had lots of fun. Kept flying foamies over the summer. That is about it! I hope to maintain a better balance next summer. Good to be back.
