been my first full year flying pattern. 2 planes, 7 contests,
150+ flights, and 2nd place in district championship points. All
in all, not a bad start. I've learned a lot, had some fun, and
met a lot of neat people. My flying has improved drastically,
thanx to practice and a LOT of help from Troy. Moving up to
Intermediate in the last contest was a lot of fun and it should be
challenging next year. </SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>That's several folks I have heard who changed
wheels after a couple hundred flights. Suggestion for
youse..... If you lined the foam initially with a thin layer of
bicycle inner tube (ca'd on), your wheels (the foam) will last much
longer. Maybe 5 or 6X if you fly off pavement. This tid bit
ought to make Van Putte smile</P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>On flying, I count flights too as Scott is. My
Temptress saw about 39 flights this year (3 gallons +). And we did fly
in one whole pattern contest...woweee!!! Seven flights there alone.
Temptress has just completed her 6th season, some 1500 flights in that
span, 75% of which came in her first 3 seasons in Fla. Been in NJ
for 3 seasons with a grand total of about 350 flights. Oh well.
I've met some great folks though....</P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>I also got to fly grandson Cason's Vapor about 40X
and his foam glider (EZ Star?) about 15X. And his CX2 about 3
dozen times before breaking the rotor blades. Cason is 4 and loves
flying as long as Pappou (that's me) does the flying. But hey, he
drives his little RC cars and trucks so it's a matter of time before
he competes for stick time</P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>On the Vapor, this has to be the easiest to fly
trainer ever made. My son Isaac actually loves to fly it. I've been
trying to get the boy to fly with me for 15 years with no practi cal
success and along comes the Vapor and makes it so easy. I am
pleased!!</P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I'm not finished yet but I'm only at 259 flights
this year. Twenty flights were testing my new 14MZ and 2.4GHz
modules in January, and the rest were with my Abbra. All
electric powered. I did change the motor, a DualSky 6360, at
flight 422 on the Abbra, thinking the bearings were getting noisey but
they really didn't need to be changed. I'm now at 493 flights
and I think I'm on my fourth set of wheels. I also tightened the
rudder cables once. I'm constantly tweaking the transmitter as
there isn't much to do on the plane. </P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>I only got to three contests all late in the year,
but I did see improvement in my flying after watching and listening.
Practicing alone will not get it done.</P></DIV>
