Taking a break from the serious stuff ... or rather, switching over to the serious stuff... :-)
This afternoon the winds were almost nothing, so I walked down to a nearby lake and flew my Seawind EP which is a radio controlled sea plane. The conditions couldn't have been more perfect and I had several nice flights, a couple touch and goes, and had fun just scooting around the lake up on step. If I can avoid crashing, it should be perfect for those warm summer evenings the hour or two right before it gets dark when everything calms down and the wind goes to zero ... Unfortunately I was the only one out there so I couldn't get any live action shots, but there is a promotional video I linked to so you can see about what it looks like in action. The ice is almost completely melted off the lake, but as you can see, we haven't started the spring green up yet. Chance of snow again tonight and tomorrow ... "uf da" as they say they say in these parts ... http://baron.flightgear.org/~curt/Models/Current/SeaWindEP/ Curt. -- Curtis Olson: http://baron.flightgear.org/~curt/
