Going to see the sights. I always take a week off in Oct. before all the snowbirds return to FLA. After Oct I work a lot more and a lot harder as a Respiratory Therapist.

Maybe I will run into you at Atlanta Hobby. LOL!!!!!

I took myM3D and Avistar to the FF today. I flew the M3D today for the first time. My friend Sergio showed up as I was landing my Avistar and went over the M3D with me. He found a loose rudder servo which was fixed with some CA. I took off the plane in about 20 ft. I had the controls on full rates. Jumpy, my goodness!!! I put the Alierons to Low and trimmed out the plane. Sergio, a seasoned pilot, took over and put it through all the 3D we could think of. Then we had to put the elevator to Low. Straight up is like a rocket. It won't hover though. Sergio says it needs more rudder. I need a longer arm on it to get the throw. Landed in one piece. The LG is very weak. I will embed it with epoxy.
