A little road trip with a little flying.

I had originally planned on flying today but the forecast changed to a chance of rain so I decided to stay home.  We had gotten a letter from Marie on Saturday that she needed some things, so we decided to run up today after seeing the forecast for Tuesday was rain.  I have really been wanting to try the V-Hawk in the airplane mode so I threw it in this morning just in case it was nice.  Marie wasn't home, so the staff opened her room and we left the stuff there for her.  After a quick stop for lunch we got to the field and Horty, Leonard, Audrey and Gene were flying.  All the planes were under the table when we got there as a shower had just went through.

 I got the V-Hawk out and made one flight because I only have one battery for it but more are on the way.

Off it goes on its first complete flight.  The transition to airplane mode was way easier than the Convergence and it is very easy to fly.  I looped and rolled it, made several transitions and landings, it looks like a keeper.

The clouds were looking kind of threatening so Vera took some pictures of them.  It wasn't long until it started raining and we headed home.

This evening I got the motor hatch frame for the P-39 done and separated from the body.

I have started making the wheel well liner for the left wing, I got the one straight piece glued in and after soaking them in hot water I have the curved sections drying over night.

This is the right wing with the wheel well sanded down to match the wing contour, you can also see one of the carbon fiber rods I put in to reinforce the landing gear.
