Who's got Flying Weather?
I put her up above the trees about 60 or 70 ft. and while circling the field a big bird of some kind darted right up to the plane and gave it a quick look and then darted away just as fast. Well anyway i had 2 nice lazy flights with her and 2 not so good landings. So who else had flying weather this mourning? |

Monday started this week's trend, and it is expected to be carbon-copies thru Saturday at least; High in the mid 80's, mostly sunny, (hardly any clouds, in fact), with mostly easterly winds 5-10mph. For what more could anyone ask? Can't wait to go flying tonight!

Anyone need some water? We had tornado warnings and sirens going off Sunday evening along with a gentle shower that dropped almost 11" of rain in 24 hours. Monday, Sun came out for 1 hour then more rain. Yesterday, 2 1/4" more rain in 3 hours. We have had over 16" of rain this month and almost 13" of it was in the past 48 hours. Needless to say there is nothing dry here. Lots of flooding, highways closed, bridges out and mud everywhere. I've never had water under my house but spent all afternoon yesterday pumping 6" of water from my crawl space. Flying? What is this you speak of?

Yesterday was awesome. I hit the field at about 7:30 AM and flew two battery packs. Partly sunny, upper 60's, light breezes to about 4mph max.
I love mornings like that.

Ahh.....the eternal optimist! You're probably right Kev. Actually it is sunny right now. We'll see how long it lasts. I think it will be just enough to get the humidity up to 250% and help all the mosquito larvae hatch faster.

Boats aren't any fun. They don't crash as nice.

Another nice mourning to fly so took the UB out and put her up for a nice easy flight and good landing. The foam eating JackPines did not get a chance to grab her as i stayed far away from them.
This evening was still calm so i put the Christen Eagle up again and good flight with no curious Birds around. Hope for more good calm weather in the mourning. Happy Flying Guys |

Grasshopper, The only way to really make that rain stop is to buy a set of floats....I can see you now sitting on your porch plane (with Floats) in hand saying come on RAIN!!!Guaranteed never to rain again.
