Spring Ops Begin

Ah, spring has sprung! Took my season starters up for a spin today.


First cycled some batteries in the Sbach foamie.



As always the season and the thumbs start with the Eflight Alpha 450. I went out to a local park where the grass is too tall but I can fly off the dirt on the ball field. A storm front was coming through so the winds started picking up.  Flew a pack, was pretty impressed with myself with all the funky winds and how the bowl of trees changed them. Took the Sbach up and had a blast. It too got a bit blown around. It was easier and more fun to control in those conditions, but then the rain came and I had to call it a day. I broke the prop in the tall grass when she tipped over on rol out. Fun, but not enough. 

Need to tune up the 10ccs and take them out next week!
