<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Opening scene. Local Flying field </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Setup: Dead calm winds, partly cloudy, the Day
we've been waiting for!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As we pick up our continuing saga of TimmyT's
planned return to the pattern warns. We see our fearless leader and his faithful
caller "Flying Buddy" starting the airplane on the stand. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Oh man this thing is starting easily now there
Flying buddy! must be breaking in nicely" As our fearless leader turns
around to place something back into the trailer ( Flying buddy has the
transmitter) he hears the engine rpm's come up and flying buddy Holler "OH
&$^%($^%)# . As TimmyT turns around he sees the airplane, still in the stand
coming up tail first with the nose headed for the ground still running. Fast as
a flash , with a broken in half fuse picture in his minds eye, He grabs for the
airplane and manages to catch the right wing front and rear and stop the whole
contraption from impacting the ground and doing major damage. "Damn I didn't
know it'd do that says Flying Buddy! "Well now you do so DON'T do that
anymore"!!!!!!! Why is the right aileron stuck down about 30 degrees? Turn
the airplane over and look at the aileron and find that the hard point is broken
loose. Well so much for flying today. TimmyT starts to take the airplane apart
and put it back into the trailer as FlyingBuddy makes some excuse that he
has to go to an appointment that he suddenly remembered.

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Next Scene is our Hapless leader working on the
airplane back at the shop.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Any more help like this and I've had it". Ok lets
see what it's going to take to fix this. Ok that was a clean break the hard
point just came loose and the hole is pretty much intact. So break out the 5
minute epoxy and reglue the aileron hard point back in. While doing that we'll
change the 1100ma battery pack for the 1800ma pack to see if we were really that
tail heavy. </FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok that's all done
so let's look outside and make sure Flying Buddy isn't back from his
"Appointment" yet. Nope coast is all clear.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Next scene our somewhat ego deflated hero is back
at the flying field ALONE!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok take off run is sweet, climb out is good and
trim pass the elev trim seems to be off, oh ya that's right I put the bigger
battery in this thing to move the cg forward. </FONT> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>Ok the airplane handles much better than it has in the past, must have
been fighting a balance problem all along. Ailerons are back to their normal
self and we're now deciding to it's time to practice.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the sequence that I'm supposed to be flying
again? Oh yes it's a reverse Cuban followed by a stall turn to a slow roll, what
the heck comes after that? (*^%*)#%_(*^%_(#%^ Flying Buddy has the call sheet in
his pocket. Ok that's enough for today pack the airplane up and we'll start
fresh tomorrow.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fade To Black as our mentally drained pattern flier
locks the gate to the flying field and heads home.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Stayed tuned for tomorrow's going be wild trying to
