I forgot to mention my Eurofighter on Wednesday! I put the batteries in it and hooked them up, put it on the runway and taxied out. I gave it the throttle and it went about 10 feet when there was a big bang. The fan had blown up, Bill and I went out to get it and picked up a few blades on the ground behind it. I took the batteries out and set it by the motor home for the day. When I picked it up to go home I tilted it up on it's tail and it sounded like a dump truck dumping gravel. The rest of the fan came out the tail pipe. I spent the morning today researching and finally ordering a new fan that is much stronger. When I got done I went for my walk on the trails, it looks like this is going to be a daily thing. I noticed some elk tracks on the trails. I went down the hill toward the creek today, coming back is much easier with the new knee
I also noticed the flowers are starting to bloom so I walked around taking a few pictures of them.
The glue on the Eurofighter pilot was dry so I put the canopy on. Now all I need is the new fan and it will be ready to go again.
I did a bunch of sanding on the B-36 wing, I hate sanding! Hopefully it will go fast and I can get to the covering.
