That happens all the time here in Florida. Blue skies, no wind. Load up, drive to field, aaaaaaaand its raining. So frustrating. But beer is always a good compromise!

Have had a strange week here. Firstly I retired a design that I used to make and sell only to receive more orders the very day I gave away my prototype to a young club newbie.
My local club which i use as a group of test pilots, (don't tell them!), decided to run the hat around and pay my membership fees. Feel somewhat embarrassed but then they refuse to discuss the matter!
FT releases a new model which is similar to something I already have in final stages of testing. Thankfully there are massive detail differences and different approaches but it just feels weird!
Finally I NOW remember what happens on painting day of a batch of models for the local shop! I get wiped out and carry a migraine for a few days! Those solvents are murder on my metabolism. Sadly it is not during the painting that the solvents are a problem but as they are drying where a dozen models can fill a large area with the evaporating solvents.
Have fun! (I will go an have a rest now!).

Had a wing fold on my custom 60" Storch. Of course it had to crash in the water so I'm out a $30 80A ESC as well. Prop is destroyed, fuselage is likely totaled. I'm upset because this was my first "clean" airframe. Have had over 50 flights and never so much as a noseover and then this happens. The wing had a wooden paint stick spar in it and it cracked right through. Not sure what caused the failure but I'm pretty down about it. This was my favorite bird.

Well, since you asked, it's the Grumman LLV. I got some more time in it yesterday and in the weeks to common I should be accumulating quite a bit of time.
Here's a link.

And here's a photo with the typical USA markings/colors.

Funny Jim. We have a similar day to day when we aren't flying. I drive an old Grumman too.

Morning coffee just came out my nose - priceless - thanks for helping me start the day with a chuckle.

I've always said that if you say/do something so beautiful a woman cries then you've scored some good points. Now I have the male equivalent.
You're welcome.
Just finished the paint job on a "mini" Diamond I have been trying to finish for a friend at the field.
This is 80% scale of the typical version that I build and has a 64mm EDF crammed into the back. He is of Swiss descent so he asked if I could paint it in a Swiss flag theme.

On a 2 week business trip, and brought the UMX B-25 along to squeeze in some flying. One flight out in front of beautiful Mt. Blanca, and one at a Veterans memorial with a T-33 one a pole off a backroad.
