I managed to get myself to the field and it was a struggle. I needed to visit my friends, the sunshine and the fresh air after being cooped up for days in the stuff sicky house.
By the time I went to the store for groceries we needed, got gas and drove up there I was pretty exhausted. I sat for a while and chatted with friends and then made two flights with the Cherokee and one with the 2meter powered glider. All were good but the lift was out of sight. Once I got to altitude I cut the motor on the glider and flew for a very long time on a thermal. I finally got bored and had to force the plane down and landed on the runway.
Last flight of the day was Mark’s Killer Chaos he built from scratch out of balsa and a glass cowl. The plane has retracts and it’s just gorgeous. Mark is also a “Killer” pilot and flew the plane with style.
As I write this I could use a nap but getting you with my friends and flying was good for me. I look forward to getting back to the studio tomorrow and getting some work done.
