Flying at Toledo

4-18-2020

The new hose for the motor home leveler I cut before we left for Arizona came yesterday.  I went right to work on it this morning even though it was raining lightly.  It is actually nice and dry when you are under the motor home.  The job went great and I was done a little after noon.  We made a run to NAPA for some transmission fluid for the pump and it worked great.

The field had been closed for the last month, they opened it up again this week so I went flying today.  Having the awning repaired sure made setting up a lot easier.

We saw night flying twice while we were in Arizona.  The plane we were really impressed with is not made now.  Not long after we got back HobbyKing had their Night Walrus on sale.  I got one and today was the first flight on it.  It flew great but the LEDs don't show up that well in the daylight.

This is a picture I took right after I finished building it.  I think it will show up fine at night.

The runway was really in need of mowing.  I ended up going over it twice to get most of the clumps of grass off.

Leonard and Audrey showed up a little later, this is Audrey shooting a touch and go.

 Bruce was there also to test flying his 25 year old Cub.  He had worn out the first engine and had replaced it with the next size bigger.  He also replaced the old AM radio with a modern 2.4 GHz radio.  Like most Carl Goldberg models this one flew great.

This eagle was sitting in a tree North of the field most of the afternoon.  The crows were not liking it so there was lot of action going most of the time.  It sure felt good to get out and fly again.
