Dimona Flies!

Sunday, we went to church and then I spent the rest of the day getting ready to go flying on Monday.

We got to the flying field about 8:30 Monday morning and this was the sight that greeted us, it was beautiful!

By 10:00 I was all set up and had put a successful test flight on the Fokker triplane.  It was also warm enough that I had taken my sweatshirt off!

Then it was Dimona's turn, I am happy to report that it flew great and I flew it several more times during the day.  The spoilers are really effective, it kind of falls out of the sky.  I made one landing with them up, that may be the last time I try that.  Other people started arriving around 11:00 and we had 7 club members there at one time.

It really started warming up in the afternoon and there was hardly a cloud in the sky.  I gave the Soloshot a workout today, just like the instructions said, the batteries last about 5 hours.  By about 4:00 it was 78 at the Toledotel weather website and everyone started packing up to leave, us included!  Our one day of July weather was great fun.
