HI
I just want to write about something that happend to me the last week. Well as you all know I will be leaving the country and the hobby beginning of August and I started selling of my Rc stuff, but I left me the option to keep some till the end. About two weeks ago I posted a thread here asking if anybody had a cheap plane for me that I could fly till when I leave. Well long story short Gilbert offerd me a Hangar 9 P 51 with around 200 flights on it. It looked a bit beat up , had holes on some places of the couvering etc. But for that price I could not say no, this was exactly what I was looking for! Gilbert fired up the 46 carried the P 51 to the runway, gave me the Tx ans said ok go fly!! Ehhh ok, does he know I usualy fly helis and that this is my second plane I ever flew and on top of it its a P51 Warbird! What the heck I thought, floored the throttle and of the plane went airborn, thats it! I scooted around for about 5 min than did a approach with flaps out and Gilbert was there to give me advice. Second approach and voila it was a good landing. I could not stop grinning.
I bought the plane of him the same day, took it home and did some minor touch ups, programmed it to my Tx and went to the field yesterday. I started flying at around 12 noon and stopped at around 7 pm. That day I killed half a Gallon flying a P51, sitting in the sun talking with Gilbert having a airrace with Tino etc etc. To be honest with you guys, that was for sure one of the best flying days I ever had in all my RC history. When I came home and put the little P51 on my kitchen table and cleaned it , I just could not stop grinning and then it dawned on me I had one of the best days of flying with a plane I paid less for then the tailservo on my Heli!!!!!!!!I thought to myself : Is it not great that you came back to enjoy the little things in life? Yes it is! Its awsome! :D Thanks alot Gilbert for making the reminder of my Summer so enjoyable, see you at the field next week, I will be on Vacation. That means alot of Nitro burning :D!
Regards Pete
