Selfie!

My hard drive has been acting up lately, I had ordered a new 2 TB one to replace it, so when it shutdown on me this morning, I decided it was time.  I downloaded the cloning software and started it running, then I had several hours to do things while it ran.  I went to the shop and was doing some cleanup when I got a call from a church friend that wanted to bring their grandson by to see my planes, we arranged it for 1 PM.  That inspired me to do a little more cleanup of things I have been ignoring.  When they came I showed them around the shop and motor home, then I flew the ECO8 for them.  The grandson was six and has a helicopter at home that he said was about the size of my 400 size heli.
After they left, the cloning of the hard drive was not done, so I flew the quad while it finished up.  I put the new hard drive in and booted up the computer, everything worked great!  I decided to take some pictures with the quad outside, so I ended up using up two batteries.  I took this selfie when I was on the back deck.
Flying the quad gave me a chance to try out my new charger for the single cell batteries.  The Hitec will charge four at a time, it cycles through the battery voltage, current, charge rate for each cell as they charge, then it displays FULL when done.
Vera baked a rhubarb pie this afternoon, it smells great, I can hardly wait to try it this evening.
