Sunday spent a lovely day with the wife at Kentwell Hall, Long Melford. Monday more testing with the X20. Same old same old really.

Graham R Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Thermal soaring on Sunday afternoon with my F5j Explorer. Amazing weather and plenty of thermal activity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve 1 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Saturday, had three flights with my turbo prop Tucano, one flight with my soarcerer with a paw 09 up front. Sunday, three flights with 1/4 scale cub powered by a laser. Monday two flights with 1/5 scale corsair and lots of flights from the bungee with pod and boom, V tail glider, unknown name but is like a DLG, typically when I did manage to catch a thermal I had waring of low RX battery, all in all I had a great weekend ?. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Flew on all four days, which is a rarity for me. Not too many flights, as the wind really got up on Friday and Saturday, but managed a few very enjoyable flights. Sunday was probably the best flying day, once the mist had burned off and had my first take off from carpet - the take off run for my FW190, which is usually about 10m was about 10ft, which caught me out a bit. ? Monday on the slope was less enjoyable, scratchy lift and the models I had with me couldn't cut it - landed out down the slope a way which is never fun and the low cloud hung around for a long time, only really clearing just before I had to go somewhere else. Great to get out though. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Being retired, Bank Holidays have little meaning, or impact on us. We are very fortunate. Flew Saturday and Sunday a.m.; took wife for her second jab on Monday, had breakfast with son in York. Aggravated poorly foot on the journey back to East coat as it was VERY heavy traffic .... journey home took twice as long! Local traffic still relatively heavy due to half term, but also flew Tuesday and Wednesday. Looking iffy for this morning. GG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Repaired the rudder of my boat. Job done, but my arthritic thumbs are agony from the steelwork, and drilling. Must get a new chuck key with a long tommybar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON CRAGG Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Club works party at our site on Sunday. Shifting 10 tonnes of topsoil to dress a large area undermined by moles. Committee plus 3!. Picnic and gossip, bit of general flying pm. Productive day all in all. Don, have you tried taking Bicarbonate of Soda for you ailments? Works a treat on the odd occasion I need it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell Howard Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Got two days in row at the field after passing A test the week before. First time I've been able to get through 4 LiPos, half an hour of solid flying each day without needing to ask someone to supervise! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half a teaspoon in half a tall glass of water, down in one go if you can manage it. Once a day before breakfast for two weeks works for my achy thumbs. Lots of info on the web about the subject, but in the real world the above works for me. Good luck!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Cheers, I will give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
