Hi guys, Finished off the 6th 30min flight today with my brand new used bright Red Sharon...powered by Volz, controlled with JR's DSM 2.4 accuracy. First flight of the model I managed 20mins where it was totally skied, but a huge sink came behind that lift and so ended up short, just picked it up this weekend in Chicago, was Don Smith's plane. Gorgeous and interestingly enough, the same colors as the my new High End! So matching HKM planes.
3 rd launch put it up again and at about 20 again, the air went still every where...but there was buoyancy to work, so just kept it moving in huge flat circles. Brought it in for a landing with the nose in my hat! Got to love a Sharon ;-) The air in Louisville was HOT...and muggy, but thermals were moving through at a leisurely pace...so everyone had a good day. Our little Lee spent his time tossing his DLG with Ben and Bruce. Likely it will be a year or two before I complete Gold Level....kind of loaded with drudge tasks...but we'll see.:) Gordy **************Get trade secrets for amazing burgers.
