We have our days here in Georgia, but flying year around is always an option.
Yep, same here in VA. We had a great day on Sunday - lots of guys out for our "postponed" New Year's day flyin. Light wind, sunny, temps in the high 60's. I test flew a buddy's Thunderbird Flash for him (twice). The first flight was VERY exciting. Turns out he had literally copied the expo. values from my Futaba TX to his JR TX. If you've never flown a plane with negative expo on a JR, DON'T DO IT - its not fun!

Took me 3 approaches to get it settled down enough to get it on the ground. The next flight with the expos in the right direction was MUCH better... [8D]

Hey Bob,
I suggest for all future maidens, bring some Depends with you. That was some great flying with lots of negative expo on a JR radio.
