One tiny shower, HOT, wind slowly building thru the day but manageable. Put up 3 flights on the Galaxy/ST46, 2 pancake crashes. I finally put up a flight on the Fronkensteen 4. Very rough. It has been 6 months since I have flown it. First start was very rough, popped a prop loose. It stabilized quickly and ran like a sewing machine. Controls are radically different from all my other planes and takes getting used to.

Weather: Hot, XXXhumid, cloudy, no rain at the field, light to moderate wind.
Flea Market: One dealer had a few C/L engines. I picked up a Torpedo Greenhead 45, an OS LA 46, and a Royal Spitfire .065 for $40 total. Condition report later.
Flying: I put up 3 flights on the Galaxy/ST 46. One pancake crash out of a loop, one dead stick nose in crash when the engine quit at a bad time. No damage, but I need to check the tank.
UPDATE: Tank clunk was stuck in the front of the tank. It is now fixed.

Not as hot, light and variable wind, no rain. I put up 2 flights on the Galaxy/ST G21 46. I tried a third flight, couldn't get a setting. When I got back home, I found a broken fuel line. I also need to clean the filter again.

No rain, warm, humid, light and variable wind. I put up 2 1/2 flights on the Galaxy/ST G21 46. The half flight tells me it's time to change the tank. I put up 3 flights on the Fronkensteen 4/LA 46. It's doing very well.

This will close out this years thread because it is now fall. It is time to begin the next thread.
