Default RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?

I had a kickass time today! Although I was only on little sleep, (and still am), I took off from work at around 3, got to the airfield around 4 and flew for over an hour. I did all kinds of crazy (yet controlled) things and everything felt very natural. The sun was shinning on the wing and I could actually see the red stripes on that black wing. Everything looked great, I noticed I had a smile on my face while I was flying...which is odd for me. Usually that means something is funny or I'm up to something ehhe.
Everything flew nicely. I think I had a bit of flutter yesterday if that's the proper term. THere is a small 1" hole in the tail and came apart from the last repair I noticed today. So I patched it with tape and everything flew great. Surprised my tail didn't rip off or explode...or worse, balloon up and cause me to death spiral.

Anyway...the jitters were gone via the sun hitting the plane properly and the wind being only about 8 mph. Good times.

Don't know how long this weather will hold out. Early fall, it was hot..then COLD...then rainy and COLD...then one week of warmer but windy/rainy..then COLD COLD COLD..now, it's like early fall is back. I'm confused. [sm=spinnyeyes.gif] to be honest, I am not sure what to do with it. I'm not sweating, and I'm not freezing..hmmmmmmmm.
