What a nice day!

Fedex, UPS and USPS all brought us things today.  My new fan for the F-4 showed up at the post office along with my new plane.  I had to make two trips to the Blazer because the box with the plane in it was so big I couldn't carry anything else.  UPS brought the nose gear for the P-39 and Fedex brought Vera her new knitting needles.  I had made some adjustments to the hexacopter so I gave it a try after getting the mail.  It is still not right and I managed to run into the oak tree and break part of one propeller off but I landed safely.

I got the V-Hawk put together and tried it this afternoon.  I checked everything out in the shop, got my ace photographer out there for the first flight and it would not arm.  I don't know how many times I unplugged the battery and started over but it finally armed.

It flies great, very stable and easy to fly.  I didn't try tilting the nacelles down for forward flight, I will try that at the flying field where there is plenty of room.

Vera does a great job taking pictures for me, she took 57 pictures today while I was flying and all of them were good.

James came up to visit before he left on a spring break road trip to Reno.  He is going down to visit his friend Aiden and Aiden's girl friend Katie.  I hope I spelled your name right Katie, James said you check the blog, have a nice day.  I went out this evening to work on some sheeting for the P-39's wing but I ended up adjusting the nacelles on the V-Hawk.  If you look at the picture closely you can see that the front ones are tilted back a little.  I have them pretty well matched now and I hope to get in a test flight tomorrow morning before the rain starts.  It was a great day, I got in eleven flights today, one on the hexacopter, eight on the little FPV quad and two on the V-Hawk plus I got the pile of brush cleaned up South of the shop.
