RE: RX and battery
It's relatively cold here too.. for us that is. We're supposed to get some snow tomorrow. More North Jersey, less down here, but that could change if the weather patterm moves further south. We will see, I suppose.
Gonna be a fix and repair weekend, and if time permits, getting going on my Something Extra kit build. I broke the vert stab on my Venus II while moving it last week. Hanger rash, small break near the tip, 10 minute fix with CA and a little covering repair, no big deal.
However, the Goldberg Protege needs a tad bit more work. I flew it one day a few months ago, on a rather windy day. The wind was right down the centerline, so flying was actually fun. After the first flight, I put it on the ground between the bench and my car. Well, a wind gust caught it, actually put it airborne for a moment, flipped it over, and slammed it to the ground breaking off the wing mount and took broke the wing at the wing mount. The saddle was slightly damaged, but all will take about a couple of hours of repairs and it should be just fine. We will see.
Later.. breakfast time.
Dick.
