So i woke up this morning.. and first thing.. before feeding the cats or turning on my PC..

I went down into my backroom where i keep my plane and equipment..

Plugged in all my chargers for my:

Plane
glow plug
transmitter
toolbox battery

and smiled..

its almost saturday and flying time =)

I feel the tension myself.
Today would have been a great flying day here but I had an eye exam scheduled (which was later cancelled when the Dr. called in sick) and I am now at work. Comittments and work will keep me off the field tomorrow but Sunday and Monday both look like a go (if nothing else happens and my instructor is up for it)
I can't believe how anxious I am to get into the air

Yep, another 2 exciting days of trying to keep the students from killing their planes. Quite the challenge sometimes. It's worth it though, in the long run, when they finally see the light. Some listen to what you have to say and others? Well, you may as well be talking to the bumper on your car. [:@]

Oh well, that's why instructors get the big bucks. Oh wait, that's right, we don't get paid. WAAHHHH!! []



j/k I enjoy teaching.

Lucky you. I'm stuck at the beach for a long weekend with my pretty wife and lovely daughter. I WANNA GO FLYING!!!

Well Chuck ya should've brought your kite along.

I was like a hawk this week found myself switching to the weather channel more and more to see updates on the weekends weather..

Went from rain sat/sunday when viewed on monday morning <--- =( sadface...
to sat/sunday partly sunny and in the 60's with 2-8 mph winds possible ... =) Happy face!


friday night is rolling around.. not really sure how ill manage to fall asleep waiting for saturday morning to roll around


Man.. is it this bad? all the time.... I mean know im hot on the Sport.. but this is like better then doing drugs...

Unfortunatley no RC flying for me this weekend... I have to get my next solo XC flight in a 152 done. Next weekend is RC. [8D]

Unfortunately we are supposed to have rain tomorrow. I don't know what sunday will hold. arrrrrgggghhhh. May in Oklahoma. Fun fun.

Ken

Now there's an idea!

What kind of servos do you use in one of those?????

Ken

Cmon Chuck, never heard of a sea breeze? Beach is a great place for slope soaring!

Yes, it is going to be Saturday! Maybe I can get my first flight in. Every time we try, the wind picks up, and stops me from learning. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Isnt wyoming great?

trey

Planes without props? [X(] Maybe I'll have to look into a slope soarer, it would be fun to be able to get in some flights while I'm here.

On my kite I use a brand called Armstrong!

Haha suckers, the weekend is here already The benefits of being close to the date line

Maybe, but Monday morning hits you earlier!

a picture is worth a thousand tears!!!!! [] [] []

Ken

Chuck if you want a cheap sloper try this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXELS9&P=Z

It's a slinger wing set, just glue it together, slap some wing tips on it and drop in a rx batt and a couple servos. Basically indestructable and dirt cheap.



Aw poor Ken

Well I'm holdin the 4th annual 1/2A funfly at my field tomorrow..if your nearby come on down...Rog

Ken, stop that!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .. your pointing right at Kansas City (where I live)

Now thats a forecast I like.

It's an all R/C weekend here too. Tomorrow is club clean up day as well as pouring a slab for the Heli guys to practice their hovering on instead of doing it in the middle of the runway when planes are trying to fly[:@]. Can't wait to get that all squared away !! We'll do some flying too of course. Then Sunday is the club monthly meeting & flying all day before & after. Woo Hoo!! I too have everything on the chargers. I plan to try out my new AirfoilZ Yak this weekend. Should be a lot of fun.

Bugger, didn't think about that[:@]

I honestly feel sorry for you pilots over there. We average about 35 to 40 inclement days a year, here where i live. so i fly the rest of them. A cold morning is usually around 20 degrees, a windy day is around 15mph. The only problem is the amount of fuel i use in a year, averaging 6 to 8 flights a day flying my Excelleron 90. So my suggestion to you all, is to migrate to sunny Queensland in Australia for your winter months, and stormy seasons

Just think of it as an extention to the building season.

Chuck,
A true modeler/builder NEVER stops building!!!!!!! no matter what time of the year it is!!!!

This really is true for me, I do build year round. Here in Oklahoma the heat in July and August really makes the end of the day uncomfortable for flying, and on top of that the sun is in our eyes at the end of the day so we usually try to fly in the morning. So that leaves evenings for building!!
