Default Another lonely day at the field

Practically had the field to ourselves, again. This normally happens when it is 36F outside.
This was a couple of weeks ago at our local field......Paul Bloxham on the Sierra L-39 (Wren-44 Gold).
Not sure which is louder, Paul's 44 or my Rabbit.

Flew again Tuesday evening after work. I was the only one there for a while.

Absolutely perfect evening, clear blue skies, no wind and balmy temperatures (~80F)

Got 6 flights in with the L39 before sunset, now up to 140 total.

Cheers

Well guys I am going to see if I can get a few of my slacker friends, Uncle Joe and Vinne D. to go out today and do a little flying as well. Will post some pics if it happens.

F-16 looks nice, any reason the gear is down in the inverted pass.
I flew yesterday , Only one other person at the field. 3 mph wind down the runway. 73 Deg.

Yes sir, I have a Tamjets Gear Failsafe and I am so confident in it that I actually extend the gear for a couple of manouvers. That is actually a manouver that the T-Birds do in formation........it is a lot more tricky than it looks! I'm probably holding about 1/2 elevator to keep it trimmed. From there I do a full power slooooow climb. The drag induced by the doors is incredible.
