Winter / Focus / Fuel

[Doug Cronkhite]

Keep in mind that guestimate is from when I was flying glow/gas airplanes. 
The only field I can fly those airplanes is 1 hour away and only available 
on weekends. With the change to electric power, I have a flying site 10 
minutes from my house.

Regardless.. I don't think I could deal with 1000 flights in a year. We'll 
see though.
