It is just a sign of the times. Minorities rule or get ruled. I've never figured that out exactly. But it seems that's just the way it is.

It will be a sad day if all planes must be electric. That will be the day I quit, if I even make it that long. Here in Idaho we still have quite a bit of land available and people seem to be more tolerate to these things. Some even have shooting ranges in their back yards. But, bit by bit we are getting "modern" technology. We aren't far off from you guys. Sad indeed.

Blisster...
Great pictures. I love a good Do. I flew my 60 yesterday during a long lunch. Weather was perfect and so was the plane. For some reason my UCD is getting even better with age. I was doing the most amazing rising flat spins. With ease. I start way up high and just do a very slow (engine idling) very flat, slow decending flat spin to about 20' above the ground. Then I'd bark the throttle on the mighty 110 and snap it around into a pinwheel and stay right there for a few seconds than add a bit more down elevator and begin a rising flat spin up to a hundred feet or so and than "Do" it again. Wow! What fun! And I don't have another plane that will even come close to that. Even my 46 won't go all the way back up. Amazing. Truly these are some of the best flying airplanes out there. All right...they don't KE that good and Harriers are harder, but hey....If you want to "Blend In" there just isn't a better plane.

I also did some great hovers. Even thought about a tail touch...then I remembered the Mayhem 40...Kept it about 15' above the ground. Low enough for me. Low enough for anybody...except Gjeffers.

Thanks
