I made it out to the field too, for a change.  But I didn't get there until 7:00pm.  Kenny and friends were there, flying fast jets and a cool helicopter.

I brought out four planes and flew three of them twice each, but the re-test flight of a pattern plane I bought from Michael a few years ago didn't go so well.  Part way through the flight after getting it trimmed out nicely and doing a couple of axial rolls, the motor quit and I lost complete control.  All I could do was watch it plummet into he farmers field.  The plane is a write-off.

Fortunately, the maiden flight of my other plane went very well, I'll tell a little about that in my old building post for that plane.
