Yesterday, storms hit the Memphis metro area where I live.....

I left work to go get my daughter from daycare, and by the time I got there, the Tornado warning sirens were blaring hard.....

The daycare kept us there for quite a while, and when I got home, the news gave quite a shock.....

One of the tornados that came through Mempho hit the area where I work. It imploded the warehouse behind the one I work in and killed 3 people, while seriously injuring a dozen more.

The mall and restaurants near my warehouse (1/2mile away) was pretty much...

Well, my originally planned pylon racer for the E-fest did not fly as well as I had hoped, so I decided to make a little something else up.....

I scratched this little bird out in a matter of a little less than 4 hours (from raw sheet wood to what you see here).

Took her out this morning and gave her a fling. She flies verrrry well and ridiculously fast!

17.75" span, 2.6ozs rtf.

It really is funny to me how just regular life will keep you busy Obviously the poeple on this site all have somewhat similar lives in that we are trying to jam some enjoyment in the form of RC Flying into our already busy lives.... Its true of every one of us to at least some extent.

For me, the last two weeks have been mind-bending busy.

It started 2 weekends ago, when my team at work suddenly had a multi million dollar project at work scream to a halt. 6 months of planning hit a wall when the vendor delivered the product we were to have installed. Unfortunately,...

I have a long standing rule that I don't fly what I did not design and build. Only recently did I ever break that rule, and only because becoming a dad just does not allow as much time anymore....

Anyway, I thought I'd put up some pics of some of the designs I've done over the past few years.... I guess I did it in part to remind myself of what I've done.... (and part to be a show-off LOL).

Here ya go....

Put her up in the air today. Weather was beautiful and calm, so I gave her a very light toss and she was cruising away

Cruises at about 1/3 throttle, climbs at 1/2 and climbs strong a full.

Now its time to detail this little beauty out
