I went out to Tamiami today. They had some sort of Cuban festival. More people there than at the Dade County Fair. I guess that says something. Couldn't get to our normal flying site, so we went to the back of the park to a smaller site. Better ground conditions, but trees on 3 sides. I misjudged one tree and destroyed the Tutor 2 when I hit it. Flew the Predator/ST 35C. Couldn't keep the engine running.

Due to one flying partner cancelling today, I went out to Tamiami park today. Park was clear, no crowds. Put up 4 flights on the Profile NoblARF. I tried 15% nitro fuel. Big difference. I dropped back to 5% nitro to note the difference. I believe I'll go with 10% from now on. Big improvement with added tail weight. The plane reacts faster than I am used to. I might try a light strap on muffler.

Took advantage of "good" weather conditions today. Went out to Tamiami and put up 2 flights on the profile NoblARF. I need a different tank.

Hope all goes well. Three more school days and I will be free to fly at anytime.

I put up 2 flights on the Galaxy. During the second flight, it started to rain, so I did tight loops till the engine sagged and quit. Landed a little hard and the fuselage broke at the last repair again.

Flying at Markham Park this Sunday is cancelled because of the Boy Scouts Camporee. I may try to fly at Tamiami if conditions aren't too bad.
UPDATE: Looks like flying is on for Tamiami Park. Lets hope they aren't having another Cuban festival.
UPDATE: Flying partner backed out, weather too rough.

Well here it is the 23rd. The Ice-O-Lated in St Louis is canceled because the park officials think it is unsafe with the six or so inches of snow and locked the gate according to Dan McEntee. We had 9 inches here in KC of snow.

My alternate flying partner decided he wanted to go flying today, so we went to Tamiami park. He found a spot near the far side of the park. This is the same place that cost me the outboard wing of my Tutor 2. The wind was really bad so my flying partner ended up crashing a half A model and I crashed the Stretched Galaxy, ending with another broken fuselage.
