The mountains were beautiful today! We got to the field a little before nine and I headed right over to mow at Mrs. Herren's. By the time I finished Steve and Ken were just about all done mowing the flying field.
We had a pretty good turn out today, lots of flying and visiting in the sunshine. The weather station across the road had a high of 69.6 today. I got in thirteen flights today, one with the white glider was twenty two minutes and I only had to run the motor for a minute and thirty three seconds as there were some good thermals.
This is just before we started loading up to head home. My planes all flew great, one guy who was there sounded like he was going home to order a V-Hawk after seeing mine fly.
On the way home Vera and I stopped at the South Lewis County Park and watched the ducks and geese while eating dinner.
There was a little charge left in the string trimmer so I made a pass in front of the shop and on the other side of the parking area.
Vera was taking flower pictures and found these strawberry blossoms.
I have been working on the P-39 since the last post and I am hinging the flaps now. I have to have all of the linkage installed before I can sheet the top of the wing. In last Friday's post I had a picture of the wiring harness that was going to work great. I suddenly realized that a three servo harness wasn't needed because I was using pneumatic retracts. I ordered a four servo harness and now I will only have the one plug to connect when putting the plane together.
