Why is it???

[Paul Taylor]

I checked the forecast last night. Slight chance of T-storms today. Nice and sunny all day while I'm at work. I get home from work this afternoon and check the radar. All clear. Put another battery on the charger and plan on packing up.
Look out and see a dark cloud headed my way. Check the radar the radar again and see this!

Guess it is like when I am at the field and have a slight breeze, pick up my handle and a nor'easter starts howling.

Batteries are electric.  Thunderstorms are electric.  Jeeze, can't you see the connection here?

(I had a sorta-nice day flying today, except for the sleep deprivation and the crash caused by a software bug).

Happens to me all the time. Usually high winds though. I suppose God isn't too concerned about our flying time. He has a bigger job to do.

Well there is always a claim after a storm. 😊

I love what phones do to one's typing.  Don't you mean the clam after the storm?

[Paul Taylor]

Yep.

Weather is always a problem for me here in the middle of Kansas. It takes me 35 to 40 minutes to get to the field and I always check the wind before I go. But, invariably when I get there the wind sock is hanging straight out and it is gusty maybe to 25 or 30 mph. Since I am there I usually fly anyway just to not waste the trip. If I do a vertical 8 and the wind blows me down to 30 deg. and I have to fly it out inverted, I know its blowing to strong to do that. Sometimes I just do lazy 8's and fly around doing only stuff I know I can get away with. That way I still have fun and get to feel that tug on the handle and go home with a smile on my face. I have had my Taurus with the Spitfire pull me out of the circle on windy days, and I weigh about 180. As Dave Thornburg said in his book, " a couple of flights on and ignition plane is about all the exercise one needs in a day."

I agree 100% When it's time to have some intense fun and put those flying cravings to rest, hook up a Streak and point it where you want it to go!

Actually that looks like a Streakaray. I'm building one of those now. To the casual observer it will appear to be a full blooded Streak, but it's a Ray in disguise.

Got to fly tonight too.....in some good winds. A club member sold me a well built LIGHT Chipmunk with an OS .40.
Built by a top builder. Turns on a dime. Need time with it but sure had a terrific evening flying it and my Super clown. Prowler is still being re-booted.
The winds prevail and so we sail.

It is a Skyray fuse so it's a little longer then a Streak. From the handle it looks like a SKyray. Everything else is Streak.
Flys real well.

I noticed in the pic I bumped the tank down.

 Tim Westcott, that "shot" about batteries being elec and lightening being elec also, and the word "connection" was a play on word's wasn't it?  LOL LOL

I could show you some radars that would scare you. Here you can pretty much see it coming a couple of hours away. Don't count on more than that. Miami is like that.

We get a lot of what's called "pop corn" T-storms. They just pop up out of no where. ⛅️⚡️

It's like when we get into a certain weather pattern here. You get 2 or 3 days of perfect weather in a week. And they generally fall in the middle while I'm at work. Come the weekend, it's pounding rain. Fun, fun, fun.

You poor working stiffs.  I loaded up the mower and went and finished mowing.  Dave had part of it mowed already.   He likes the grass really short.   By the time I was done the wind was blowing my hat off.  So I came home and put all the mowing stuff away.  Went out today.  Like I told Dave I seldom get up before 0900 and that is because the dogs say to get up.  By the time I checked my E-Mail,  Stunt Hangar and ate something I headed to the field.  Not enough breeze to no where to do maneuvers once I got the Ro-Jet working again.   The Fox .25 I am ready to put on the auction block.  Raised the tank a good 1/4 inch and the thing still goes rich inverted.   I did get a couple of patterns in on the RO-Jet and called it quits.   Hopefully will get out again tomorrow.
