Saturday Flying

The weather forecast was for it to be 10 or 12 degrees cooler today so we went flying this morning.  The forecast showed no wind in the morning so I took along Pluma to trim it out.  It is going to be a great indoor flyer.

I got in about 10 flights before we headed home.  There was only one other flyer out today and four people stopped by to watch.  I ended up getting in ten flights, four of which I videoed with the Soloshot II.  I also managed to plug in the battery backward and burned up one of my transmitters.  A new one is on the way but I am going to have plenty of programming to do when it gets here.

After I unloaded  we were sitting on the deck relaxing and looking at this picture Vera had taken of the vine maples.  We have been trying to figure out if the leaves turning is from the heat or the dry weather.

We also have been puzzling over what is causing the fir trees to die.  There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, ones right next to a dead one will look great.
