Good to see you checking in, Vic! Hope those fronts pass you soon so you and the wife get to feeling better.

Dave- We are further north than you yet you've got more snow than me. We are right on the border with this latest storm. If it traveled a 100 miles further north I'd be loking at 16-24". Was actually hoping we got hit with it, one good snow storm a year is great for me and the kids!

JPEE any place for some indoor flying with the micros you and your friend have? Can't believe the amount of rain you've been getting there.[:'(]

I managed to sneak one flight in with the 109 today. About 4 minutes in she was coming across the field and I rolled her inverted down pretty low. About 5 feet off the ground I see a part come flying off[X(]. Thinking she lost a vertical stab for some reason I expectd to see her go right in. Quickly added full down elevator and rolled back to upright about 10 feet off the ground. Hmmm......... I still have control. That's when it hit me, the canopy flew off and not the stab Completed the pattern and landed safely without incident. The guy at the LHS had the same thing happen to him. I'll be adding a "T" pin before its next flight. Also need to do something to minimize the scoop damage from the belly landings, she is starting to get really beat up.
