I have four planes that I built this winter ready for test flights. Today I loaded up the two gliders that were ready and we headed to Toledo. This is the Electra that I built with a Vee tail. The fog had lifted enough by ten thirty for me to test fly it. It flew great and only needed a couple of minor trim adjustments.
The transparent covering shows better in this picture. When the sun came out later it looked very nice in the air with the sun shining through it.
This is the Radian I won in the raffle at the Mt Rainier Radio Control Society meeting last month. It flew great also, I found some nice lift and stayed up a long time with it. I have to change the programing in the transmitter so I can have the timer running. I also got the Extra 300 out and put a couple of flights on it. I only made seven or eight flights today but the ones with the gliders were nice and long.
Mt St Helens was sure showing up good this afternoon. When the sun came out I was able to take my coat off but I still had my heated vest on.
There was lots of activity at the airport this afternoon. As I was out taking pictures of the mountains this Piper Tri-Pacer flew by in the pattern.
I realized it would be coming by Mt Rainier so I got ready and took a couple of pictures as it turned final. It was a good day, we had a nice lunch of left over pizza that Michelle had given us yesterday. I was going to set up the satellite tv but the inverter wouldn't stay on, then I couldn't find the remote. I finally gave up on that idea and went back to flying.
