Default Flew all day...what a blast

Up in Wisconsin you gotta fly when you can fly. And today it was 80 so I took the day off work and proceeded to fly the wings off of my plane (FlightStar 40). I lost count but I flew 10 flights at least. I had to quick charge my RX and used almost a half gallon of Omega 15% fuel through my 46FX. All I can say is this hobby rocks. It's great to get your pilot status and just fly when ever you want and for as many flights as you want. I started in mid June and got my pilot status August 30th. I finally flew inverted ovals today so that was pretty exciting. I have a lot to learn but what a blast to experiment (from a few mistakes high ... lol).

Anyway, cheers and enjoy. I hope I get to use the rest of that gallon of fuel before it gets too cold up here. And to you dudes in Arizona and all those warm places:

LUCKY YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joe

P.S. Anyone who's wondering, I check my RX battery before every flight using a 250ma load.

I'm going to build skis for my Laser 3D so I can 3D in a snowstorm!

It must get REALLY cold then, like what 60 degrees?

Try flying when it's below zero. [&:]

At our club we have a New Years day fly-in. No matter what the weather, people are there. I can't imagine 0 degrees and people flying. I have enough trouble when it's 80.

I heard that one year people were pushing each others cars out of the snow trying to get out of the parking lot. The snow plow trucks don't get to out lot. It's low priority.

This will be my first year (if I go). Man people are nuts.

Joe
