Oh yeah, flew my Do 2X during my lunch hour today. I knew the weather wouldn't last and I'm on such a short timetable that I just couldn't resist. It was raining lightly but not too cold, mid 40s. No wind. Very fun.

Evel...I've been in some of those wind flights. Not that fun, but sometimes I do it too. I guess when ya gotta fly, ya gotta fly. I broke one of my UCDs in half in the wind. Did a KE landing. Not that fun at all.

Anyways, now I can say 18 flights without a crash. Did some great flat spins and wonderfull hovers and waterfalls. Waterfalls are my new favorite trick. I love doing them with this plane. I can just get it fliping in one place with our losing elevation. Pretty cool. I brought it down to about 20' and did waterfalls for 10-15 seconds. Very nerve racking, especially when it goes into a KE spin and I barely save it about 5' off the ground. What is it with everybody trying to do maneuvers right on the deck? Gjeffers is doing 2' inverted passes, and many are touching their tail, what gives. They look just a cool a couple of hundred feet up. Don't they?

Anyways, having a great time with the repaired 46. I figure I got maybe 2-3 weeks before snowfall or cold. Brrrrrrrrrrr.

Thanks
