Fantastic Flying

It was a fantastic day for flying, I made sixteen flights on the six planes in this picture.  The delta only flew once as I broke the prop when I bounced it during a take off.  I have broken a prop every time I have taken it out, of course I left the box of spare props at home.

There were nine flyers out enjoying the nice weather.

I have never flown a model of a Hellcat until today when I test flew Dan's new VQ Models Hellcat.  It flew great, but needs some more down thrust and a little nose weight.

This Navion was shooting touch and goes at the airport, a plane you don't see too many of.

Ken is launching his plane with a catapult, it worked great and Jim (kneeling) used it for his flying wing later.

I don't know what Ken and Chuck are smiling about because I didn't take the picture but I am pretty sure they know that someone is leaving me a surprise picture on my camera.  It is sure fun finding these surprises.

The silver lining on the clouds was sure pretty on the way home.
