We have had a lot of grey days recently, this time of year that means warmer, so today I was rather fortunate , blue skies some high white clouds, and winds 5 to 10 MPH, N to\u00a0 N-W. and surprisingly warm<\/p>\n

Recent grey skies on October 27 had me out with the Mirage and Hi start getting a 15 minute flight in nothing but grey soup.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last year I had the Simitri down and packed it away on Nov 15 , this year I have that taken care of a week earlier, I also noticed the leaves in the trees are down a week earlier this year then a couple years ago.<\/p>\n

I missed last years leaves:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Nov 13 2016, leaves everywhere and on the trees<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Nov 9 2018, lots of leaves have left for the next county, woohoo<\/p><\/div>\n

The Mirage is still together and have to make some decalage measurements on it today as a friend and I are both curious what the angle is measured with my trusty Robart Gauge.<\/p>\n

Nov 05 found me out with the Elio and the Hi Start, the best effort was a 13 minute flight from 7 launches. The Elio X has proven to be an all round great plane for me and has held up well over the past few years, the last flight this year though, I pulled the rudder pushrod, SS cable, and fashioned a new one.<\/p>\n

Well here we are November 9th, back to the blue skies. I haven’t flown my Maxa since Sept 29th, and either it flies today or doesn’t and gets packed away regardless<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was out at 1 , 2 and a little after 3 PM the turnaround had been set to the west side of the field thus a little shorter then usual and early winds were 5 to 10 but after 3 they where down to 2 – 3 MPH<\/p>\n

after 3 launches at 1 the best time I could muster was 7 1\/2 minutes<\/p>\n

2 Pm wasn’t looking any better 2 launches and a best time of 6 1\/2 minutes\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There where no eagles to be seen either, and the usual shreek from the local eagle when I launch was also not there so he must of been off somewhere.<\/p>\n

Ah well, I’m lucky to be getting in some flights, I’ll leave everything here in the field and return later perhaps for a couple more tugs up the line<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Back, it’s sometime after 3 got a good launch, well the typical launch in cruise mode. Haven’t used the launch mode in ages, and even forgot the “magic” switch, on the earlier flights.<\/p>\n

woo hoo, before I launched decided this was it,\u00a0 last flite of the day, yup the sun was getting lower, standing in the shade, I could feel the cool northern nip on my fingers.\u00a0 Someone said 6 weeks or so till Christmas, and I don’t believe I have had a Hi Start or winch out in December<\/p>\n

5 minutes later I was still up there, drifted back over the field and was up higher then when I came off the line. The Maxa is just magical, for any one that has flown one they would understand when I suggest it’s like cheating, they just fly so well.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had an aha moment, remember that ‘magic’ switch, thermal mode, a little camber, and woo hoo it’s like I turned on onboard blasters. The plane seems to get into another realm \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I could go on, but suffice to say, I landed at 24 1\/2 minutes<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
