Ok I am back charging batteries. I pulled the herk out of the attic (it survived the storm) and now going through the charge cycle routine. Can't fly anything until I can confirm they are flyable. No water in them but not used since 8/05. Hopefully they will be ready and the heat in the attic didn't warp them too bad. Still no flying field within 40+ miles so I have a long drive. Probably start back flying something simple like the Nobler, Cub, or Ultimate to get the wrinkles out of the brain.

Haven't heard much on Herk building. It does take a long time and you really have to be focused and stay the course to complete one. Best of luck to all. Billy heard you quit flying. I know you will be back. Best of luck to all. Jim
