The Cloudbusters’ May meet was a success. \u00a0We had sunshine, warm temperatures, and light breezes all day. \u00a0The only unfortunate part was that the breezes were blowing in just the wrong direction. \u00a0We tried to maximize our location to take advantage of the longest flight path at the park relative to the predicted wind direction. \u00a0Instead of the predicted breeze from the SSE, we experienced them from the South and SSW. \u00a0This put flight paths over the neighborhoods – several planes were lost or nearly lost. \u00a0We had about 10 flyers participating.<\/p>\n

Team Volare (me and son Jack) had a successful day. \u00a0Jack had unexpected success with his race plane, getting it to fly very well, taking 2nd in Scale and 4th in Races. \u00a0He had been contemplating the old “fix-by-stomping” solution to its ills, but “Less Power” cured the initial torque rollovers. \u00a0Now he will need to trim to glide and he will have a truly competitive racer.<\/p>\n

\nI put up 90-second flights in both Peanut and Scale to take home firsts. \u00a0I “could” have taken Phantom Flash, but I had a fly-away on my second flight which happened to be my second max. \u00a0A third max would have sealed that event, but I only had one model. \u00a0It looks like I will need to build multiple Flashes to avoid disappointment and future regret!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
