| Update...Two Reasons for Winter to End in IowaWow. This past weekend...first time back out to fly since late November.
Saturday -- about 48 degrees, overcast, 25-30 mph winds, but DRY and no snow on field. Flew anyway, wearing gloves. That first flight was a bit dicey for the first minute or so till I got my thumbs back. A bit rusty at first, but didn't take long to burn the cobwebs out.
Sunday -- about 58 degrees, light winds, broken overcast. Much nicer.

The DX7 TX is gone, having been replaced by a JR X9303 2.4 -- Super radio. Works great, programming is dirt simple, and flawless connection.
The new MP2 on the OS37/Caliber 4 -- really woke up the dead. The Caliber 4 is a whole new heli with a muffler that lets the 37 shine.
Too bad Curtis stopped making the MP2 for 30's. It makes a night and day difference when compared to the stock muffler. Later on I'll give 30% nitro a try in this heli.
