It Flies!

The LCRC had a swap meet today at the Toledo high school.  I took three planes, some starters and a few miscellaneous items that were laying around.  I sold one plane, gave two away and bought one kit.  I took tickets for awhile until someone had a question about the plane I sold, then I wandered around looking at things and visiting with friends.  It was a fun day!

While I was gone, Vera took these pictures of the clematis and water lilies after it rained.
 After I unloaded, I went back to work on the new quad and finished the landing gear that came yesterday.  It took me a little while to get the speed control programmed, but then I was ready for the first flight.  When it got light on the skids, I could tell the fore and aft control was reversed, so I shut it down and reversed it in the transmitter.  The next attempt went great and I flew it around the yard for several minutes.  Just being bigger seems to make it fly better.  Now I can finish tying down the loose wires, add lights and see about mounting the GoPro on it.
