Sunday was a day of rest for me after the busy day Saturday. As I was watering the plants today I stopped and took this picture of the rhododendron by the motor home.
It was calm this evening so I took the Trex 500 out to the backyard and did a short test flight. It flew great so I put it on the table and went in to tell Vera.

Monday was the last day without rain in the forecast for awhile so we went flying at Toledo. I flew my favorite the Skylane first and shot a bunch of touch and goes. Then I got out a couple that I have not flown for a while. I was surprised how well the littlest one handled the wind. The Ultrix only has a thirteen inch wing span but has a great stabilization system that makes it fly like a much bigger plane. It never did warm up much so we headed home about one.
It was warmer at home so I got the 500 out for another flight in the backyard.
The first thing I did was check the trims while it is in hover.
Then I took it up a little higher and flew around a little. I flew for six minutes and I still had 58% left in the battery when I checked back at the shop.
