Not a bad end to Father's Day Weekend ... ;) (Off-Topic)

Remember this plane again? Well the wind was up today, so I went back out to fly, and took it along just in case. The wind looked good, and I don't build these planes to watch 'em hang on my wall, so I went for it.

Well, all I can say is I'm glad my mom got me this shirt for Christmas, it's become my hobby-mantra:

Here's the maiden flight, cradle-to-grave. ;)

I kinda felt like Wash ...

I'll rebuild - the fuse and tails are salvageable. And I learned a valuable lesson about building heavy planes. Pretty much: Don't. They only get to fly in gale-force winds, and other than that just become repair jobs. I'm going to target a much more reasonable weight when I rebuild this time.

It was my first hike down the Fermin cliff; it was only a matter of time, if you continue to fly Fermin. ;)

On a more positive note, I flew my Shredda (the red plane in my previous post) for the second time in a weekend, AND landed it safely! That's a win in my book. :D

At any rate, the shirt mantra holds true!
