Still flying.

That's about all that's going on here for the last month. The second and third contests in this area have been cancelled. The next one is in Georgia in late August. That one has a chance to happen. The big one at Brodak's in Pa. in June is cancelled too. No word yet on the national contest in Muncie, Indiana in July. I have the new Legacy flying pretty well along with the old Legacy. I think I have the battery thing figured out. I got the power down to where I like it and started watching the charging a lot closer. The chargers are not that good. I have to put each battery on more than one station to get the voltage up over 16.92. When I charge to 16.93 or better the thing works like it should. South Park is still operating normally, almost. I bought a kit from one of the cottage kit makers that attends our contests. As usual I'm stalled trying to figure out what colors to paint it. I tried to work the cap and ball revolver and it had stuck again. I broke the cylinder pin and had to take the gun completely apart in order to get it out. After that I ordered a conversion cylinder for it and now it's a .45 center fire cartridge gun not black powder.
