Flying the quad

I had a great day!  I got a flight on the little helicopter and one on the quad before church.  Our magnolias are fully bloomed out so I took a bunch of pictures of them after church.  This afternoon I put three flights on the quad flying in the trails South of the house.  I put the batteries back on charge and got the fairings for the Ford Trimotor's tail done.
First I made up two pieces of balsa the same thickness as the tail assembly.
This is after I tack glued the dummy pieces to the fuselage, added the pieces that will be the fairings, sanded everything to shape and broke all the temporary glue joints.  Next I will mount the tail and put the fairings in place.  After dinner I put in three more flights on the quad flying the trails and trying some new routes where there is no trail.  I am going to hook up a video recorder so I can put a link to one of the flights here in a day or so.
