Simply Awesome Day!

I knew today was going to be perfect. The weather was cool with cloudless skies, the winds calm (for Mt Hudson, where there is always a breeze). I headed out and got there around 1130 with the newly repaired HK EPP Sbach, the always reliable 10cc Stik, and the yet to be flown tbis year 30cc Breitling MXS-R.


"Must be in the front row!"



Somebody's day went poorly...
Left over from the Fun Fly I presume.



Always start with a predictable favorite.  She's a tad heavier than before the repairs, but still flew amazingly spry!



Das Stik. As always, had to retune the engine, but that took a moment and she flew wonderfully. Near the end her idle was too high and I couldn't settle it down. Didn't feel like messing with it so parked her after several flights. Worked onapproaches and landings, all perfect, with and without stabilization.



The MXS-R. She hadnt been started until today and kicked right up, ran true, and flew beautifully. Also worked on landings with her. Sweet, every one, with and without flaperons.




That sweet sound.



All the way down there...



Perfect skies, always a breeze, SNHRCC at "Mt Hudson" is still the best place to fly around Southern New Hampshire!
