It was a quiet weekend at home although I did drive the Fiat a bunch. Yesterday I took her to our flying field. Who says you can’t get a few planes and a bunch of equipment in a sports car? I did.

I flew my P-51 Mustang and Luscombe. That Pony really rips up the sky. Such a smooth plane to fly.

Once I got home I worked some more on the slot car track and drove some of my favorite cars. The two open wheel cars are both Coopers. The T-73 and the T-51 both scratch builds of my own.

The Dan Gurney Lola T-70 was a special addition Revell-Monogram car that came in a special box I have had for 12 years now. Recently the rear tires rotted away and I replaced them with good tires and this car runs like a champ.

Over 4 weeks later after covid and I’m feeling much better. I’d be deader than a doornail if I had got all my vaccinations and boosters. I wish some people I once knew had done the same.

Had some nice flights on the Piper Cherokee yesterday in the high winds that often were cross runway. But the EFlite Cherokee handles all conditions very well. This is a very underrated airplane. One of my favorites.

Lots of progress yesterday. These orders will be able to ship tomorrow.

Yesterday I was tested again and Mary and I are both now clear of Covid. We went to the studio and had a great day.

I got lots of orders painted up. The Saltvampire and chimp mask will be haired today and that finishes them both. I also got another set of Spock ears painted.

I got the parts poured for another rocket kit V-2

Tomorrow everything can ship. It’s great to be back to work!

Today I remember these guys. We remember them. My heart goes out to their families and to all aviators that feel the loss. W live in an aviation community surrounded by private airports. Today the skies are silent out of respect to these forever pilots.

This really helped to build this model while being sick. As soon as it’s possible I will launch and fly the shuttle.
