Default Xmas Flying?

Anybody else get out and fly this morning? Company not coming until afternoon. Weather here in Northestern Connecticut is mid 30's with little to no wind. Packed up my trusty GP .40 Big Stisk with ST .45 (3+ years old) and Hanger 9 Tribute with Magnum .32. Got 1 flight with each. Makes for a great Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

I got out this morning,Maiden flight for a Nitromodels Edge-540.25,I dont know if its the plane or my setup but it wasnt a very enjoyable flight.
It was barly controllable.Ilucked out and got it down with just the landing gear tore off.super responsive even with low rates and -80%expo.

I didn't get to fly on Christmas, but I spent a few pre-dawn hours in my shop. After my son left, I spent a couple more.

3 flights on my OMP 65" Yak with a YS 110. 1st time I've flown in 6 months. It was great. It took about 5 minutes to feel comfortable, then all was well. What a great run of weather we've had.
