Finally some flying weather

 
The weather forecast for today didn't look too bad so I spent Sunday charging up batteries and getting all the new planes loaded into the motor home.  Then I went in to watch the Super Bowl I had recorded.  Kind of a Ho Hum game so I was glad I could fast forward through the commercials and half time.  It was pretty nice when we got to the field a little before ten.  I hopped right out and put the maiden flight on the little Edge 540BP.  It flies great and will probably turn into one of my favorites.

The Osprey was next and it flew fine but I kind of messed up on the landing and did some minor damage and broke both props.  Luckily they send spares with the kit.

I had a good day, I flew 5 different planes and made a total of 14 flights.  The Corsair flew great after one minor adjustment to the elevator.  I am going to put my GPS tracker in it next time to see how fast it is.

Jim and Teresa showed up a while after we arrived followed by new member Mark.  Jim had several flying wings with him today, one flew great but the red one on the table seems to have a balance problem and nosed into the ground with no damage.  It sure felt good to get out flying again.
