Beating the Heat again!

 

We headed up to the field early again today to beat the heat.  There was even a fine mist hitting the windshield on the way up and my hoodie stayed on until the clouds burned off.  Then it got hot fast!  I decided to just fly relaxing planes today, the Bird of Time is great for that.  I put in two flights with it and found some thermals both times.  The first flight was twenty plus minutes and I ran the motor for three minutes.  The second flight was after the sun came out and it was thirty minutes with a motor run of two minutes.  I also flew the Skylane and the little Edge.

By one it was uncomfortable sitting in the sun flying so I loaded up and we were on the road about one thirty.  UPS brought a couple of new batteries I had ordered so I spent the afternoon installing new plugs on them and charging them.
