[color=#FF0099]Gentlemen,

Well, today was great!!!! I trimmed the elevator and cut and glued a new corner piece of balsa on it.. Came out great. David called me early (his student had cancelled this morning) to get me out to the field earlier that we had planned. No problem, I was almost finished with the elevator.

We checked over the plane, I packing taped the top of the wing that had opened up all the way down one side yesterday. Changed out my aileron servo arm, and David put it in the air to check the trims. A foot long hunk of covering blew off the underside of the wing, so upon landing I had to packing tape the huge hole. We all had lunch and then went to put the two planes in the air to do some synchronized flying and it started to rain while we were on the taxi way.... (good news actually, because it chased everyone else off the field with their planes and equipment) We hung out under the impound till it let up and took off......

WOW, WHAT A BLAST!!!! I haven't had this much fun since the two night flights!!!! We even did loops together! I can't wait to do this again...next time hopefully some touch-n-go's in tandem! Both planes survived...no mid-airs or touches. We included one of David's more "seasoned" airframes in the shots. Notice in the 2nd picture it is even missing half it's horizontal stab!!!! Believe it or not, ugly as she is, David will have her together and airworthy (at least for a night flight where you can't see her livery ) Even the top of my wing is covered in packing tape...almost all the damage is from "hanger rash"!

THANKS FOR A SUPER NEW YEARS DAY DAVID!!!! (and just in case no one noticed....it's January 1st and we're in shorts, t-shirts, tank tops and flip-flops....GOD I LOVE SOUTH FLORIDA!!! [8D]

Hey SafeTwire,
Yep, I don't just enjoy the hobby, I'm absolutely passionate about it!!!! Wish I had started as a kid, instead of being stuck on the sidelines!!! And, yeah, everyone has told me that every plane has an expiration date, and when you crash one of your planes, just enjoy the show!!!
