Top of the morning to y’all had a very windy morning two down back to the hanger for fuse repair. I brought four with me, but I decided to quit while I was ahead. my finger shows how deep this lawn darted couldn’t even see the props. Just minor minor repair behind the canopy and it’ll be hauling ass again. Magnus needs a little more repair. I’ll glass it inside.
Guy told me one time if you’re not crashing you’re not flying enough.
By the way, I’m the only one that crashes!! right

Oh no!! That is not a good day. I always say crashes come in sets of three, so I sometimes stop flying and let someone else at the field donate #3 to the flying gods.
At least the ground was still damp. Looks like nice rich dirt. Can you send me a few truckloads?

Hi Wayne, it’s all good repairs are coming around nicely. I wasted a Kontronik jazz 55. Went through all the servos everything working. I need to make me a hat with a camera. Nobody has any video of these things. They seem to go pretty fast. I was getting that 20 mile an hour tail wind diving coming past, then Doh!!

I can’t paint worth a darn, but I can do the structure the wiring, motors and props. I was a aircraft mechanic all my work days started in the Army with helicopter, finished with McDonnell Douglas/ Boeing.You are getting too good at those repairs.

60” fast Two update all went well. Magnus flew like nothing happened. Sess same repair poped open JB Weld didn't hold, field repair with thin ca and zip tie then back in action. Got home did more extensive repair. layer of carbon fiber, layer of fiber glass and a large layer of carbon fiber on top. A layer of glass inside we’ll see if it holds up this time.

I brought a few things I thought maybe it could be a recovery effort. I brought a line with a gaff. I could only get it out about halfway crossed.
I didn’t spend much time. It’s a very large area because I don’t know exactly where it is. I can’t see it. I’m sure it’s impaled in the bottom of the canal.
Hey, but on another note, got back on the horse didn’t make it a wasted trip. I brought a couple of my favorite flyers both very fast.
