    Saturday Evening: Today started out cloudy, then there was a sunny bit followed by thickening cloud, we are due for rain in the next few hours and the cloud build up is the front moving in. Actually I think it's the hight movng away again and the forecast confirms this with a return to strong westerly winds and unsettled weather for as far as we can see.

    Last evening there was only a gentle breeze and I was able to fly my V911 helicopters outside in the courtyard.. I was having great fun, some of the cats were watching and seemed tot want to play, which was even more fun, bit hairy when you are dueling with one in the top of the almond tree, although I didn't crash.... In the end I flew both models and all packs, then went online and ordered more ..... only $8US for 5 more batteries including postage! V911 is virtually indesturctable and a great way to learn how to fly the proper model heli's....(ie 450 size)

    I got up qiute early again and did have a fly with Skylark, but I wasn't really in the mood at first, it was a bit uneven, but not too bad. Later on. I  flew both the Bixler and Lady B, Jose the water man stopped his truck on the road and watch me fly Bixler for several minutes, so I did a few passes in his direction.. All flights had nice landings today.

    I did the shopping in the afternoon,  I was a litter later than usual today and didn't get back until 5-30pm, it was reasonably calm still so I flew the Skylark again.... Love it!
