A great day of Flying!

Well, I did it again, I did not do the blog for a couple of days and now I have to remember what went on.  Wednesday I made a recycling run with the last of the kitchen project's cardboard, plus our normal recycling.  I did some cleanup in the shop and had a pretty relaxing day.  I finished up the hanger for Vera's gardening tools and got it installed.  It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.  I also got my planes ready for the nice day that was forecast for Thursday.

They were right with their forecast, it was a great day!  I had Vera take some pictures of the helicopter and I during my first flight of the day.  Good thing too, as I crashed it on the second flight!  I had noticed the blades were not tracking, it turns out a screw had come loose and it fell out during the second flight.  I took one of my glow fuel powered airplanes with me today, the one I had been working on last weekend.  Now I remember why electrics are so nice, I got fuel on my hands and sprayed it on my shirt sleeve.  Then at the end of the day, I had to wash all the oil off the plane, but it was worth it, because the plane is a rocket!  I had previously gotten a 132 mph reading on the radar gun with it, today with the new prop, it seemed even faster.  Next time out we will have to clock it again.    We had a nice time today, there were 6 other flyers there, and everyone was in a great mood.  After we got home, Michelle and James stopped by with pizza and my birthday present.  We had a really nice visit with them, and got to hear all about their visit with Aunt Marie.  I hope you got out and enjoyed the sunshine today.
