Two days down and one to go it’s been a great long so far.

Saturday was the first ever Electric Fun Fly hosted at the Stetson Flyers field. It turned out to be a great day. I don’t know how many pilots we had but the parking lot was full and there was plenty of action in the pits and on the flight line. It was pretty windy all day and of course it was crossing from the north so it made for some interesting flying and challenging to land in.

Emmanuel, Paulo and I brought the Fun Cubs out and had a great time dancing on the wind with them. These simple little planes are a blast to fly and are proving to be quite durable. Joe mistook us for a pack of Zeroes and took to the skies with his Corsair and tried to take us down. Paulo’s Zero err Cub and the Corsair made contact and the Cub won. That was it for the Corsair. Joe tried again with his Sea Fury and though there was contact both pilots kept their planes alive to fight another day.

I got my speed fix with both the Evader and the Habu32 and I think the crowd enjoyed the 200 km/h plus passes only a couple feet off the deck. I really love flying the Habu32. It looks great in the air and it really handles nicely.

Larry and Goose were both out shooting the event and you really should check out these guys’ galleries. They really do an awesome job of capturing the fun.

Goose has already posted a gallery. You can click on the photo below to go directly to it. I’m sure it won’t be long until Larry get’s his gallery up. You can find his photos by following the link in the sidebar.

Happy Landings
