Getting ready!

We walked this morning and then went to a few garage sales.  We did not find anything of interest, but we had fun looking around.  I worked on the F-4 and got some batteries out of the motor home to check the current draw and center of gravity.  I ran it up with eight batteries hooked up and it blew the hatch off even though I was holding it down, I managed to get a better grip and found out I was only running it at 800 watts.  Where I had planned on putting the batteries made it seriously nose heavy, so I had to come up with a new arrangement.  I also had to order one new battery to go along with the two I already have, so I will be running the fan on twelve cells (50 volts).  I also got some things ready for tomorrow's family garage sale at Cathy and Bob's.

I decided to get rid of the little motorcycle, I got it at the garage sale several years ago because it was too small for the kids now.  David helped me haul it down there with his pickup.

I even found time to get in some helicopter flying this afternoon, it was really calm out.
