Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

Hey Jack... He's taking off all the time now, and he has landed a few times,
not real pretty but his plane is still in its original configuration...
That's why I started going out more in the week days.. He'll solo soon...

It was a bit windy this AM.... I only got one flt. in on the Kat... She flys good
in the wind... Was practicing rolling harriers at about 10' this time and a gust
got it and started it towards the ground fast... but all came out good) and
the YS stayed running.... But I am a bit gun shy...... New saying, High & Slow
Did not get any trainning in because of the wind... I know... I know... But here
we don't fly in high wind...High = 15+ and I might be hedging some :-) Guess
because we don't have too:-) Anyway we tuned his engine/new OS plug and
it'll be ready for the next time. I think??? His new 1 gal.+ Tower 46 started
hacking some on T.O. and I can't seem to find the right setting on the low side,
runs great on the ground, pointing her up and the pinch test.... But head down
the runway and pull up and here we go again.. Worse part of the day, I packed
up and headed home... At home 5 mins later, and after a half hour.......
Calm as silk....... I'm now thinking of.......

Dam... still waiting on the post office, my returned "Do" wing is still not showing up
I guess 25 days is still too soon for them...&%$#*

Hey people.. Be Safe and keep a heads up while flying!!!!!!!!!!!!...

We had an almost bad situation a few days ago.. Someone was taking off and lost
control, not the pilot but the plane... and she found the safety fence opening, tore
the wing and tail off and the nose kept going at full throttle.. Luckily it grounded
itself... Enough people called out "heads up to the right" and the pilot that was
flying in that spot cleared just in time and so did the members in that area of the pit.

We will never stop all of the problems.... But upkeep and routine maintance and
checks will minimize problems!!!
