gjeffers...

I'm about 75% done with the Maxair. So far I'm pretty impressed with the build. Everything is going good. I've decided to mount the Saito sideways in it. Plenty of room. And I think this will avoid any possible "flooding" problems like on the big UCD. I'll off set the battery to compensate for that huge cylinder sticking out the side. The Funtana had a sideways mount and it seemed to balance ok.

Our weather is showing a glimmer of hope. By Saturday our high will be in the low 40s. Might even rain a bit. That helps take the snow. I'm hoping for the middle of March for the first flights. That's about typical. The field is looking pretty good.

I'm pulling all my planes out and giving them the "look over" and getting them ready for the flying season. I do pretty good on maintenance but if there is much of anything major I avoid doing it in the flying season. I'd rather fly all I can. Fix in the winter.

Both my UCDs are all ready to go.

Been a few months since I flew so I'll probablty start with the Ultra Stick unless I can talk a club memeber into letting me fly his jet. That would get the fingers limber for the Velox.

Well, good day all.
thanks
