Those are the days I stay home.

I was already down at the field and didn't think anything of it until I got there. I guess I shoulda just kept it a mellow day at home since I was nonstop busy on Saturday, and out in the heat too! :oblong:

Two more days of sun and fun and flying. Tomorrow the big Yak takes to the sky. Sunday, I am going to do some practicing for the upcoming IMAC contest being hosted at our field. I think the Sukhoi wants to be airborne. I just don't know if I have enough skill to fly with the big boys. But hey, gonna give it a try.
There were 4 including mine at Orthobird's contest last weekend.

Took the 330LX out tonight for the first flight after cleaning the RE3's and WOW! what a difference. Instantly turned the 29x12x3EVO Mejzlik at 6100 on the ground! That was a gain of 150 rpm to start with. Throttle was much crisper and top rpm in the air was 7180! I need more prop for this engine :)

Made it out twice today, once at lunch for two flights and then again after work for three more with the Extra. It sure is nice to be flying again :) If you hae RE3'S and have more than 300 flights on them and seem to be losing some power or have a harder time cooling the engine, try cleaning the pipes, trust me, it WORKS! I found some Dawn Power Dissolver at a janitorial supply store online and that stuff works! My pipes weighed in at 1.5 oz and 1.2 oz less after cleaning them out :)

Damn I'm hungry
I can't believe I went out flying today. DB temp 96 Heat Index 108. The EME 60 held in there strong tho because I sure did not. Ended up passing the sticks to my good friend Raiko. I was actually very dizzy getting ready to faint and :speechless:. Had to hug a fan for 30 minutes to get my noodle out of the oven. Oh FALL:on_the_go: hurry up and get here!.

I had that happen a few weeks ago while I was taking my airplane apart to go home, it was nasty hot and humid and I started getting kinda dizzy and had to sit down.

It's reasonably nice here this weekend, only around 90.
