So as I wrote about in my earlier post, I and my Mom got my dad a RC Plane for his Birthday. So now the batter is charged, and the plane is together. It's time to take it out and give it a fly. Here is my dad before the fun started..

I also took some videos and below you will find them.

The last flight ended in a huge tree about 1/4 mile away. We had to leave a letter for the home owner to call my dad so we could climb on the house to retrieve it. Well the nice lady called the next morning and I headed over with ladder and pole in tow. I got on the roof and eventually got the plane out of the tree. Once we got it out, we looked it over and decided it was fine, did I say these things are tough?, and decided to take it home and charge the battery. 1 hour later it was my turn to give it a flight. I was rather successful for a couple flights, then while trying to bank a turn I nosed it into the pavement big time. It really tore up the front end. But we gathered it up, and took it back to his house for investigation, 20 or so dollars later we had the parts needed to fix it on order. WOW, these things are pretty tough. He is busy this week, so when the parts get in we should be able to fly next weekend.
I might have to get one

Gary says he wants to get one too
