So me and Jim are out here doing a little pre-season training.... only the
second time I've flown control line this year and I may be the third but one time
I only did two flights and it was horrible so I see myself sort of the
first couple of weeks it's kind of getting back into it relax fly some old
planes have fun with it we've been kind of looking and helping each other with a
couple of maneuvers like Oh like the vertical eights you know we both find
hey there we both find that we're a little bit
flying that top loop behind our head and I always thought I was right over so
it's really helpful you know when you pros know this you world champions but a
lot of us hack flyers you know you you do need somebody there with you to kind
of tell you what you're doing right and wrong but mainly right but also wrong so
we both been trying to bring that that overhead loop forward a little bit
because we're both behind us pretty much and then just working on 45-degree
angles but it's a lot of fun and exciting and old been having fun
I felt pretty good in a year and a half since I've flown that and there's only
the second flight of the season definitely preseason training we fly
control line
sorry I dropped you
here Jim's had a little bit of trouble getting this engine started and it could
be one of the common problems of you get a little gunk in your line or a piece of
grass so part of control line somedays is sitting around you got to kind of
futz with your engine a little bit hopefully your your holder your
assistant your plane valet is patient like me and it just enjoys being out in
a nice day and it gives you a little time to think Moll it's part of the
hobby or else it just starts right away and off you go
and see at a moment like this I'm fine with it but Jim is getting ready just to
to UM do his lines and throw the plane like a wooden ball so model that's the
feeling you get inside of course you won't do that it's like when you crash
you act like a man then you go to your car and you kind of weep a little bit
you go cry privately no no that's fine I got plenty at home my fault
so he has a an RC a transmitter so he can control his throttle there and you
know if we had the right kind of grass today it's a little little soft and long
he could probably do some touch and goes but with the Cavalier and those wheel
pants it makes them a little bit difficult
well I tried to show off the land right in front of the camera and I totally
missed it whoo buddy
