Yesterday flew in horrible winds and today I got my pay back as the weather was perfect and the wind just barely a gentle breeze. Used every pack I had and wished I had more . I'm beginning to think the battery tray extension that I had Chris build was unnecessary. I really am curious to see if Larry has taken a CG reading on his 'cuz I'd love to know how it works out with a heavier motor in terms of battery weight and position. Added a couple more degrees of down elevator to the Throttle-Elevator mix on idle throttle. Seems to be just perfect now in the downlines, although I'm beginning to become increasingly curious about experimenting with braking on a calm day just to see if I can tell the difference. Clearly my plane picks up speed in the downline, but so does most every other plane I have seen. I realize braking is more like Ph. D. work rather than the basic practice I should be focusing on, but just curious as always.

Anyways, just thought I'd share some pics and thoughts from the day for my fellow E-Motion-nal types
