New Years Day Flying

I decided to do my annual New Years Day flying at home this year because of the snow.  My first flight was with the T-REX 500, 5 minutes was a long enough flight to get the fingers nice and cold.  The battery heated gaiter sure kept my neck nice and warm.
 
I flew the Hobby King Mustang next.  It is made out of EPP foam that is rubbery and hard to damage.  I got to do some loops and rolls before landing.

The landing didn't go quite as planned as I discovered the cascara tree's limbs don't show up very well with no leaves on them.  Thanks to the nice cushion of snow and the EPP foam neither one was damaged.  After warming up for a few minutes I flew the T-REX again.  It is nice being able to stop and land vertically.  This evening I ordered the hardbound book of last years posts.  Vera made cookies this evening and they sure taste great!  My new year is off to a pretty good start.
