Had my converted Brodak Cardinal out for the second time today. Did a couple more short (2 minute) flights then changed batteries and did a 4 minute flight. I now have my routine for install battery, plug in battery etc. etc. sorted out so that I don't really need to think about it any more, just like I had a routine for glow engines. I got too cute on one take off and had a prop strike but Keith Renecle's timer worked just as advertised, shutting everything down before any damage occurred. Thanks, Keith. Now that I have a certain comfort level in handling the electric gear I'm ready to resurrect my pattern. I've flown very little in the past few years (don't think I got out even once last year) so I've lost a lot of what I had. But today I did some loops for the first time in a couple of years. It feels good, man. It feels real good.

It's like riding a bicycle, you don't forget how, you just get a little rusty. Glad the system is working for you.
