Started the day off right with my normal Saturday morning Bible Study at the Coffee
Rush. If anyone’s interested in joining us, we meet at 7:00 a.m. (I know, prime
flying time with the days as hot as they’ve been lately) and it’s a group
of [...]
Took the T-Rex out to the park for 2 quick 6 minute flights. A little bit windy so I just hovered some more! I’m finding that the power drops right at 6 minutes with the 2070mAh ThunderPower Extreme 25C Lipos.
Wednesday was supposed to be “official night fly night” and we weren’t
disappointed with the turnout. Lots of guys and Dan Kush even had a couple of planes
that he flew! Before it got dark I was able to fly through 2 battery packs on the
[...]
Flew both days even though it was incredibly hot! Since the T-Rex was still not together
(took a long time to find all the right parts) I only flew the Slow-Stick and Ascent.
Not very much lift so the Ascent flights were limited to around 30 minutes max. [...]
I will be doing Sound Tech duties for today’s service. Mainly, it’s getting
things setup (band microphones, in-ear monitors, taping down cables, etc) and a little
sound mixing for the band’s monitors.
Since it’s Father’s Day I’m looking forward to spending time with
my [...]
Well, my successful heli flights to crash ratio is still pretty low. I flew the T-Rex
for two 3 minute sessions on the first battery. I mainly just hovered it around. On
my second flight after flying the Ascent between heli flights I thought to myself
[...]
I had a photo shoot out near the new Bass Pro Shops so no flying today!
After spending 3 days in Oregon and away from RC for almost a week, I decided to stop by the park on my way home from the airport. Both Mike’s were there (DangerBird and UFly) and several other people. As I didn’t have any planes to fly, UFly offered to let me fly his freshly completed [...]
Took the T-Rex 450 helicopter and the E-Flite Ascent out to the bowl this morning
pretty early. I flew the Ascent for 30 minutes twice. I waited to fly the T-Rex until
later in the morning when less people were flying. I flew the first 2 times at [...]
Took the T-Rex 450 helicopter and the E-Flite Ascent out to the bowl after the Cornerstone
Men’s Ministry Bible Study was over (held every Saturday at 7:00 a.m. at Coffee
Rush – SE corner of Dobson and Ray). I flew the Ascent for 30 minutes, sometimes
[...]
Brought Andy Edwards and Mark Wallace out to the bowl at lunch today along with my
Slow-Stick (SS) and my Spektrum DX7. The idea was to give Andy some more flight time
and to let Mark have a go at it. It turned out to be windy but [...]
I started keeping a flight journal to monitor my progress
(or lack thereof). I’ll keep posting updates here instead as it seems like a
good use of a BLOG! Sorry this first entry is long as it contains a couple of month’s
info…
