May 1 st weekend gave us great weather and Lots of New Planes

April 5, 2009 - LMAC Field London, Canada there were likely twenty pilots flying and having a wonderful time in the warm sunny light wind conditions. Frank Munzer flew and tested his new Trex 600 Pro Electric and it went very well. I flew my Blade 400 for eleven packs so I was very happy and Mecos flew his Outrage 550 lots too.

March 14, 2009 one of the first days of 2009 flying at the LMAC field ended in disaster for these two nice planes that were piloted into a Mid-Air collision one heading west and the other heading east across the main runway. Lots of great flights were attained by about ten pilots.

2008 Flying

Tuesday May 30, 2006 I met my friend Tommy Sheilds at the Forest City Flyers Field behind the Ford Plant near Talbotville and had a enjoyable evening of flying with Tommy and Bob May who was the only other flyer at the field this evening. Tommy flew his new Extra 330 Suitcase 3D aerobatic Profile electric airplane with great success, Bob May flew his real nice 60 powered biplane and I flew my Electric P-51 Miss America Mustang. Photos from that evening follow.

Thursday May 4, 2006 Cam Schiedel, Art Lane and myself went for a late evening fly at our local hospital grounds and all had great flights. Cam's renewed Spitfire flew especially well after he inserted a heavier battery up-front and Art flew his new bird even though the wind was about 12 MPH and he also made two great landings. I flew my renewed P-51 with a all new Styrofoam core wing with lighter covering and it now flies much better since I added more than two inches to the trailing edge making it much easier to land as now it will slow down significantly.

Great Days in Florida February, 2006

On a four week vacation in Florida Eric, Mary, Maureen and Bob enjoyed sunny days all but three and Bob was able to fly his hang glider at Wallaby Ranch near Orlando. In the evenings we had many flights with the R/C electric model aircraft. After a visit to Graves Model shop on the other side of Orlando we were ready to build and fly. Chris and Rick, assembled the P-51 for me and we were ready to fly. I asked Chris to test fly the P-51 for me as I had not actively flown R/C for more that thirty years and I am sure that I was rusty. It was wonderful that Chris took her up for the maiden flight as it was a tiger by the tail to fly. After some adjusting by Chris I was able to take the controls and I did successfully fly and land the beast. It flies very fast and I was over controlling the P-51.

Eric made a number of great flights with his Slow Stik and also practiced flying his new helicopter and in the end we brought them all home unscathed.

We are looking forward to flying here in South Western, Ontario, Canada.

OK So we have been home for two weeks now and I did fly the P-51 here in London, Ontario, Canada and at a golf coarse near Port Franks, Ontario and still it is in one piece. I have been making some adjustments to make it easier and so far it is getting better so I hope that I can keep it from destruction until we get some better photos or maybe even a video. Eric has flown his Zagi with some success and has flown his helicopter in a gym a few times. Summer is coming and we will get out more then.

UPDATE

March 19, 2006 We were able to fly as the March winds backed of in the evening so Tommy Shields and myself went to a field close by and after flying the P-51 for about twenty minutes I made a super misjudgement and flew her through a giant bare leafed tree. Wow, did those wings ever shred of nicely. Take a look at the photos of that day by Clicking Here
