Toledo Flying

First thing this morning I looked at the Toledo Airport Webcam and it was clear, so I started getting ready to go. I got there at about 10:30 and one of the other members was just unlocking the gate. Excellent timing on my part. The first thing I did was get the Cessna out and put the first flight on it. It flew great and only needed minor trim adjustments. The one problem I had with it was at high speeds the removable windshield would blow off and put a dent in the tail as it went off. Of course, I forgot and did it again, then I had to take a walk out into the field to get it.

This is John's Electric Ducted Fan Mirage. It flies great and we were surprised how slow it would fly, it has a pretty wide speed range.

Rob just after a flight with his Ultimate. He has just put a bigger engine in it and it has unlimited vertical performance now.

Our friend Audrey shooting touch and goes, she made a bunch of great landings. It turned out to be a good day for flying with very light winds all day, it never warmed up much and my shoes were wet from retrieving the windshield out in field and as the day went on my feet got colder and colder.

I was flying my Stearman today and something went wrong and I had no control of the elevator. Now I have some repairs to make as it came straight down about 20 feet.

I came home early because of the cold feet and watched my recording of the Seahawks, they looked pretty good today. Then we watched the Sunday Night Football recording of the Steelers and it was not pretty!
