And, now we wait . . .

As Emma Watson said in the Harry Potter movie, "and now we wait."  We are waiting for flyable weather.  Big airplanes do not have a problem but little ones do since they do not weigh very much are really subject to the effects of winds.

I now have three airplanes ready to go.  The Escapade, a Big Stik and the old AeroBat.  The AeroBat needs a little repair work, the covering is coming off in spots.  I have to put it back on or add a new piece of MonoKote to it.  It really is an old airplane and is showing the effects of age along with the usage by me.  The Stik is also showing its age.  Many repaired cracks.  It is getting heavier due to all the epoxy cement used to fix her up and keep her flying.

The Escapade on the other hand is new, thus pristine.  It too will soon show that it has been flown.  But until then, it sits looking pretty.

Come on wind, stop!
