A great day of flying!

Boy did I sleep good last night, about 8 hours and I was feeling great the morning.  I got the motor home all loaded yesterday so we left right after I had my breakfast.  The weather was great all day, little to no wind and temperatures from 65 to 70.

They were hauling skydivers up with a helicopter this morning because the cloud cover was pretty low.

When the clouds cleared off this afternoon they started using the airplane.

I had painted up a new propeller for the Corsair and used it all day.  The yellow tips show up good on the ground but I can't really see them when it is flying.  I decided to save it for special occasions so I put the old one back on for the last flight today.

These are the planes I flew today.  I ended up making sixteen flights before the day was over.  I had put the one dummy engine that is finished on the Ford Trimotor and I was surprised how well I could see it in the air.  I also had programmed differential throttles in the transmitter so I can use the outboard motors to help turn it on the ground.  I was surprised how well it worked, I have it setup so I have to hold a spring loaded switch to activate it when I am taxiing and there is no chance of accidentally using it in the air.  We came home on the Westside Hwy. and I saw several buildings I would like pictures of so we may be taking that route again next time.
