Flying at Toledo

 The weather forecast for Toledo looked pretty so we headed up this morning

Of course the Skylane was the first plane I flew today.  It flies so nice that it is a good way to start the day.  After twelve minutes of shooting touch and goes plus a few aerobatics the battery still has 40% of its charge left.  I lost count of how many flights I made with it but I would guess about six.

I flew the Tigercat twice and I am liking it better each time.

I flew the Fokker DR-1 twice also and it still flies great.  I hauled it up to the MRRCS Warbird event and discovered I didn't have the right transmitter with me.  After we got home from it I had to take it all apart to see what receiver was in it.  Now I know to take the Futaba transmitter when I want to fly it.  I had a great day, we had the field to ourselves except for about the last half hour.  What really made the day nice was being able to see the planes clearly again.  Things have been a little fuzzy this summer because the left lens had a coating on it.  When I had the cataract surgery they told me that happens some times.  It only took about fifteen minutes to clean it with a laser and boy did it make a difference.  A sad thing happened today, Mik's mother Margret passed away.
