Westside R/C Flyers

Took a while to find a day that was ok to fly, and when I could break from the real world long enough to go flying! Today was it. Not perfect, but good enough to do it. Pushed my luck and went up the second time and was having so much fun, I ignored the OBVIOUS cross-wind and let the plane settle on...

I went flying today, but not the way you may think! Opened the front door and was pulled onto the patio!
Sick of this already

It’s working (?) now! Hard to tell though. It was just hanging there, not doin’ nothin’!
Nada breeze, or direction, for most of the time I was flying! RARE DAY, so glad

Under the wire! Barely. Got to flights in today, with several ‘touch and goes’,to prove I meant to do all of it. Was just having a good time when there was an odd increase of helicopter traffic. I could hear them, but the sun made it hard to scan around too long at a time. Good day on the worlds old...

Really wanted to go..... didn’t! Maybe next year?

First one at the field today! Really SLOW starter battery, so I had to charge it to start a REALLY COLD motor. Big D got the first flight of the year, but I got the first flight for me! Started the second quarter-century with a couple (three?) flights. Last of my coffee, and enjoyed the best day of ...

Gor’er DONE! Kelsey and put on parkas and long johns and went flying! Fog was ok, but the mist was terrible and then a breeze came up! We still ‘fired-em-up’ and did the take off, two laps, and landings.(I did a down wind loop just to show off!). So, thats all twelve months for 2025! Now the Christm...

Good news for some of us. Shawnee Thunderbirds are advertising in December AMA Aviator magazine they are hosting their swap meet in Prague in January on the 11th. That has been a good event in the past, good draw from that side of the state. And usually the first of the trading season. :P Maybe a ch...

Veterans Day flight. Not at all a military mission, but I did do my November flight! Missed a couple of earlier opportunities, but this day made up for them. Incredible weather, literally perfect flying conditions! Met Kelsey for our usual outing, and we shared the skies until nearly sunset, then a ...

What a great day for a ‘get-together ‘! Logged a couple of flights, ate well too.
Thank you to Kip for providing a great BBQ lunch. What a TREAT!!
A number of fliers out there to enjoy the late-in-the-season weather!
