Flying

After walking this morning, we headed up to the LCRC field at Toledo.  It was a beautiful morning for the first flight on my ultralight conversion of the Slow Stick.
Vera got a great shot of the first take off, that is always the moment of truth for a new plane.
I am not sure if Vera or our friend Steve took this picture, but I like it.  I counted 8 of us out there today and we had a good time.  Vera and I headed home about 3 when the wind came up.  I spent the rest of the day working on the Dr 1 and the RV-9.  The RV-9 motor mount came apart, I discovered that it had hardly any glue holding the layers together.
