Chris, was that your new funcub you had out today? I wanted to come out flying today but had a couple of sick boys to take care of today. Let me know if you guys fly tomorrow afternoon or evening. I need to maiden my fun cub "decathlon" - picture attached. -Bryan -----Original Message----- From: "Bill Beavers" <bill.beavers@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: 9/7/2013 3:50 PM To: "lektrik_flyers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <lektrik_flyers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [lektrik_flyers] flying Saturday Boy it heated up faster today than I thought it would, but I ended up staying until about 2pm so I guess it wasn't that bad. It was great to see everybody today. John got his usual high (literally) today on the Gentle Lady, Chris 3D'd all over the place then he and I had a crashing contest (I guess I won) him dinging up his new Cub and me taking the nose off the Apprentice (AGAIN)! But it is all good and repairable, so really good day. Goose got to blame everybody and everything on his way to learning to master the real world of his slow stick instead of the simulator faux fly sense of security he gets from what Chris terms the "red button" world of flying. But if his Papa can keep repairing and he keeps trying, I am sure he will get it. I see better flights every time he tries. Stick time will fix all that. Don Hood joined us and did some 3d and good o' flying and Ken Boling had some 3d and bipe action going on. Toward the end of the morning after just about everybody but John, Goose and I had left, Tray and his son came out and we got to see some of his very nice skill in 3d and in heli flight. I hope to learn some heli tips from him. Might have to dig out my 450 heli and dust of that Trex 500 that has been on my shelf and only touched by Kenny Wood <grin>. Tray and I talked for a good while and I think all of us are just really wanting to keep the enthusiasm in the sport and help each other grow where we want to in the hobby. Right now my growth involves more glue, but I am sure I can keep the weight down. I did get the Eagle to fly today and almost have the CG figured out, but now it needs a nose job too, but nothing a dab of glue won't fix. Anyway I'll put some videos up as soon as I can, and more importantly than anything, it was just great to get to hang with all you guys today. I think some are going to fly some tomorrow evening at Beaverfork. If I can get a few batteries recharged, I might run down there and fly with you guys. See you in the air. -- Bill Beavers Lektrik Flyers Website Lektrik Flyers Listserv (free to join up) Local Wind Condtions from LR AFB
