    Mine lives in Florida! "Hi mom, Happy Mother's Day? Big plans today?" Her response will have something to do with her church since it is Sunday. "That is great! I hope you have you have a fantastic day. Love you Mom" And all of that happens while I am driving to the flying field! I get...

    Snow in May in the lower 48? San Antonio is pretty much year round flying location, cost of living is cheap and there are plenty of jobs!!! (Summers can be a bit on the hot side)

    That is pretty much every Monday through Friday for me.

    It will fly like a big 'ol trainer. I had a deadstick with my Decathlon and was amazed at the glide ratio. You have a bigger wing, so if the motor quits, she will glide quite well.

    Yak is currently taking up space on the work bench. I also need to get the motor and servos for the Edge. Plan is to put a DLE 55RA in it with XQ4020 servos. Electrodynamics A123 battery, charge switch and opto-kill switch. That is how I have the Decathlon and Yak setup and it works very...

    She signed for the plane today when it showed up and e-mailed me at work. "2 Boxes - Looks like a new plane. Does that mean I get to buy shoes?" I replied, "I thought you wanted a sofa?" She e-mails me back. "Yup". But hey, dinner was waiting for me when I got home and she was in a good...

    You got a great deal. When is the maiden flight? I have a Bill Hempel Xtreme Decathlon with a 35ra in it and flies beautifully. You will love that plane.

    Are you into warbirds?

    Going up for auction at Christie's is an authentic, restored, and fully airworthy MK:1 Spitfire. Anyone have $3.8M you'd care to part with? I promise to take good care of it! Information on this can be found at Foxnews.com

    Sold an older 6 x 10 trailer that I had today. (See my earlier post on the new 7 x 12 trailer I picked up last week). So the money from the sale of that trailer will make the wife so thrilled that she won't care about the new Edge 540. It is all in the timing gentlemen, all in the timing. :)

    I'm with Mike. It is in need of flaps. It would be a blast as a bush plane.

    Right? I haven't told the wife yet that there is an Aero-Works 50cc Edge 540 that will be here on Tuesday. :eek: She works from home so she will be here when FedEx shows up. Sooooooo, I will have to let her know eventually. She's in the market for a new sofa so it will all wash out. Sorta.

    I'd love to head to Joe Nall but that just isn't going to happen. I've hauled the planes to the flying field yesterday and today and plan on doing the same tomorrow and Sunday. Then I have to park it and go back to work until next weekend. I would insert a thumbs down here but it is the...

    Got my new toy hauler yesterday. The interior walls were bare plywood so I painted them white. It came with the e-track on the floor and I am also going to add them to the sides so I can make a midlevel deck for carrying wing bags. My Bill Hempel Xtreme Decathlon and Redwing 50cc Yak 55 fit...

    Crack Yak is coming along. Waiting for lower vert fuse to dry before flipping it over to work on the top.

    New to 3D

    Crack Yak arrived. I am going to let the hinges sit with weight on them until I get home from work tomorrow night. Then I will start the build. The only thing I do not have yet is a JST connector for the ESC. And a charge lead with a JST connector for my charger. All my other batteries have...

    I did buy the glue but not a 2 pack. I also got the recommended power combo and some spare props.
