| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 08-Jun-08 15:27 |  | | Views : 947 | | Well, it was over due. After a touch-n-go I was turning and climbing when I saw a helicopter in my planned path so I reversed my turn but got into a step turn and didn't get the wings leveled in time. A wing tip touched the ground and the fuse tore off. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 08-Jun-08 15:20 |  | | Views : 837 | | Today was about more than flying the Tyro as Orville here wanted to see my progress on the Aero-Star and the conversion to electric. He got out of flying in WW2 when someone stole his C/L plane off his rack but has picked it up again at the age of 87. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 05-Jun-08 23:35 |  | | Views : 829 | | The plane is a little blurry, but that sure is a nice backdrop. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 05-Jun-08 23:33 |  | | Views : 879 | | It was cold, windy, and there was a slight mist from time to time, but that did not stop us all from having fun. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 05-Jun-08 23:31 |  | | Views : 936 | | These are almost all of the pylon racing planes, the boys from Knife Edge Software showed up just after this photo op. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 05-Jun-08 15:12 |  | | Views : 839 | | Near ground there was a gentle breeze down the runway, but about 30' up there was a strong wind pretty much cross runway. Moving between these two layers of air was very exciting and kept me on my toes. I failed today as the Tyro came home in one piece. |

| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 04-Jun-08 15:07 |  | | Views : 818 | | I was late getting to the field and only got in about 45 minutes of touch and goes before the 9am crowd started showing up. Here three other club members are practicing for the upcoming pylon racing with electric powered P-51s made of EPP... *shudder*. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 04-Jun-08 15:05 |  | | Views : 839 | | I seem to be popular with the ladies. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 02-Jun-08 14:49 |  | | Views : 881 | | One of the locals showed up to watch, I bet John O's trigger finger is itching. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 02-Jun-08 14:48 |  | | Views : 838 | | This morning was all about touch and goes with the Tyro, but I took a break to shoot a photo of it in flight. If I was thinking I would have had my gf shoot pictures Saturday morning. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 02-Jun-08 14:44 |  | | Views : 816 | | I finally got around to repainting the Tyro. The Bird Dog came along as there was little to no wind earlier this morning. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 29-May-08 16:37 |  | | Views : 801 | | Huh, that didn't take long. Notice I have resorted to mending small rips with scotch tape. I got this glued back together managed several touch and go's without breaking it again. On the way home I bought a spruce stick from the LHS. |
