Sunday at the field

[Mike Griffin]

Allan Perret preparing to fly my Take Apart Electric Ringmaster.  

[Paul Taylor]

How come Allen gets to have all the fun???

[Mike Griffin]

Paul he never got it off the ground .  We had some sort of glitch in the system and could not figure it out because neither one of us are proficient in electrics yet but we are trying.  I haven't flown in several years because of my back and knees so Allan volunteered to fly it for me.  I am having surgery the 17th to fuse some vertebrae and hopefully after i rehab from that I can fly again.

Sooner than you think Mike!
You WILL be flying again!!
I wish you all the best with your surgery and a fast recovery.

I was just poking fun at Allen. He's a good guy. 

Good luck Mike on the 17th. Keep us updated. Hope you are back in the circle soon.

Mike, should have told him he wasn't there.   I know it has to be something minor in the system.  Now for your back surgury,  I pray for the best for ya.   Dad had two vertibrae fused together when a disc was ruptured in his back.   He still had pain the rest of his life, but at least he could walk without a cane or crutches.   I lost count of how many times I seen tears on his face because he couldn't do things like he used to.   So take care Mike and don't chase the nurses around too much.

Hi Mike,  Good luck and fast recovery with your surgery!!!

The simplest thing that can go wrong is to plug the BEC cord (from the ESC) into the timer backwards. You push the button and nothing happens!! 
Don't bother to ask how I know this.
