Happy New Year

OK, 2008 has gone and 2009 is here...I think I flew something RC every month last year, Woo Hoo! What about you?

So far 2009 has been slow for me...with RC stuff -- It's been raining and cold. But, I did fly my simulator today -- and that was fun. I use FMS...cause it's free and I'm cheap :)

Hope you have a great year of flying!

Flight Log 10.01.08

Flew two of my planes at lunch today...first, my e-Flite Enticement and then my little red low wing toy.

This afternoons flight with the Enticement was with my big O'l brick of a battery (at least for this light plane)...my FlightPower 1500mAh 7.4v 2s LIPO. So, the flight is a little more rocky with this battery, especially if you want to fly low and slow. But, it's still fun.

While flying the Enticement I charged up my little red low wing and then got a good 8 or so minute flight out of it. This type of plane is a fun challenge for the experienced pilot...but, probably too frustrating for the novice (its target market).
