We had a beautiful morning of flying after Saturday’s meeting. It sure is nice to see everyone enjoying the weather and finally taking the planes out of winter storage. Hopefully this is just the one of many great weekends of flying to come this summer. Many different types of planes were flown this past Saturday. We got to enjoy a great air show put on by Mort and a little combat by Mike, Aaron, Rich and Bill. And no, Rich did not get hit in combat, he gently landed in the corn field all by his self!

Saturday was not only a good day for training but also a great day to maiden a plane. I am happy to report that the Velox lived to see another day. After tuning in the DLE-30 it was time to try flying it. I will admit, I was extremely nervous. However after the wheels left the ground and the plane flew as straight as an arrow with no trimming needed I knew I was alright. The 3D Hobby Shop Velox is by far the best flying airplane in my fleet. I swear it is a 10lb airplane that floats around like a foamie. I cannot wait to get out the field and fly it again. Hopefully I will be a 3D master by the end of this season!
