Went out and flew my 30cc Aeroworks Freestyle this evening. Got to the field ~5:30 and wind was pretty high and gusty, but as the sun crept down the winds died down and it was damn near perfect. ~7:30 had my motor quit but I was high so had plenty of time to take it around and land, as a matter of fact had to crab it to keep it on the runway. My first ever crab to shed altitude on approach! Yay!
As I was about to clean up a buddy who'd been flying his 48" Extreme Flight Extra was boxing it up and asked me if I wanted fly something fun, his Crack Yak. I have a clunky EPP foamy from Grayson Hobbies but had never had a chance with a CY, well once but that was about a year ago and my 3D skills were still forming. Well I've been working hard for a year and my skills are night and day better now. All I can say is FRIGGIN WOW! Crack is right. I was giddy like a little school girl after flying that thing!
I know what my next plane will be!
Oh, and because I hung around flying his CY, I wound up cutting the grass in the dark tonight!
