Kinda cold and raw for flying here, although a couple of my clubmates
did hit the local slopes. But be that as it may, happy Thanksgiving to
all: zoomers, hurlers, DSers, timers, kibitzers, builders, crashers,
chute-shaggers, and dorkers. And remember -- you don't have to eat a
lot of turkey to fly like one.

Gonna be WINDY and COLD in the land of Enchantment... But like the
rest of you guys, I'll be guilty of cannibalism tomorrow... Happy
Turkey Day... Turkeys!

OK... All BS aside... I'm very thankful for all of my friends...
That's all of YOU!

Hey, I resemble that remark....Turkey that is ;) 
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all my soaring buddies out there.  I am sure that we can all find something to be thankful for....even if at the very least it is this community.  And if this is the least of it, then we're all doing pretty well.
 
Happy Thanksgiving RCSE subscribers...

A little late with the Happy T-day, but never too late to show some soaring spirit! Yesterday was an unusually nice day in Chicagoland and I convince my father to come watch his grandkid try some R/C flying.

 

My brother who has never touched a transmitter was soloing (take off and landing) after less than hour of instructions.He managed to catch a few thermals and we ended up losing sight of the plane in the sun for a good 20-30 seconds. I also managed to get my father some stick time, and he too was able to core a thermal though we can see he was very nervous (thumbs shaking) in front of all us haha.

 

That Radian is one heck of a model to learn on! Signals lift quite well and cores very nicely. We just need to add some orange and black trim colors and should be set to take on other nature again!

 

Here are some pictures for proof:

We were scheduled to try it again this morning, but the weather is not as cooperative.

 

Thanks to many on here and RCG for the info that lead to me getting one for my nephew!!!

Tuan,

In some areas, not CA, HD has a water based spray paint in assorted colors. I chose red for the bottom of my Radian, but you might like black or ...
