Flying

Wednesday was the only day of the week with a decent forecast, so I decided to fly at Toledo today.  3 other people had indicated on the forum that they were going to fly and they all showed up.  It was a little nippy until late in the afternoon, which made the propane heater the gathering place.  I had a good day of flying, putting in about 12 flights total on 4 airplanes and 2 helicopters.

It was overcast the first part of the day, then it started breaking up and we had a pretty good view of Mt St Helens.

This is our friends Audrey and Leonard, I noticed Audrey beat Leonard into the air.

That is one of the advantages of electric planes, put the battery in and you are ready to go, they are also clean and quiet.  The gas airplanes are generally bigger, so the wing has to be bolted or rubber banded on as Leonard is doing, then they have to be fueled up and started.  When I got home Vera had turkey, mash potatoes and gravy ready to eat, boy was it good!  She had also tracked down a noise she had been hearing to the sink area.  When I put my head in sink cabinet, I could finally hear it!  After dinner, I opened the access panel and found the leak.  I shut off the water and that will be my first job tomorrow morning.
