Today was a good day of flying! Sunny and warm. Spent about five hours at the strip today flying and hanging out. Think I got my plane up 7 times. One thing that was really cool was that the club added some ground restraints for general use which really worked well.

Looks like these pinned into the ground with the prongs sticking straight up to hold your horizontal stab.



Got a proper order down for firing up my plane while in the restraint and then getting it and the controller safely to the strip. One that is mentioned above and by some club members. Plane idle on ground on hook. Take Tx with throttle in idle position to strip. Set that down and then walk back and get the plane. Worked great today and zero chance of accidental throttle-up while moving the plane from the restraint to the strip.

Was awesome to get back and have a successful day of flying with lessons learned since my previous flying session. I busted my motor mount on my final landing but that is easily replaceable and nothing compared to just flying today.

Time to log some decent time on my LT-40 so I can get my SSE up soon.
