The morning session was slightly breezy at first, then the winds died down around mid morning. I brought two helicopters and my Bugs 3 quadcopter. There was a thin layer of snow on the runway that I watched melt as the temperature rose. After about two hours, I went home to eat lunch and re-charge batteries.
The afternoon was fantastic. The temperature had risen to about 5 degrees (balmy) and the winds were calm to very light. For the near perfect conditions, I brought my two 3D planes and my 450 heli. In the picture below, those who tune in regularly might notice the new "nose-job" on the plane to the left. About a month ago this model lawn-darted into the frozen ground from about 20 feet after the ESC cut out during a hover. Luckily, only the nose section was destroyed and I was able to re-build a new one. Today I made the first test flights after the repairs and I was very happy with the results.
In total 27 flights were flown over about 4 hours between the two visits. If anyone is planning to make a trip out to the field as the weather begins to warm up, please make a post here. Maybe we can meet up.
