busy day
Somehow I managed to get up at 7am today, drink some coffee, and do a bunch of
things.
A year ago I bought little foam R/C ready to fly parkflyer from parkzone,
called the F-27. Today I finally got my shit together and went to fly it.
And much to my relief, I still had it (it being R/C flying skills, heh). Was
quite a bit of fun, and that plane is so light and has so much surface area
that it's really quite entertaining, you can get it moving and then burn off
so much speed nearly instantly. So after my first couple of flights (at a
baseball field in Potrero), I cranked up the control throws and went to
Golden Gate Park, in the wind, and flew it some more. Fun fun yum yum. When
parkzone's 3D flyer comes out, I'm so getting one.
We had a pretty good rehearsal/arranging session today, too. A big difference
from the nearly 4 hour drunken jam on sunday. I have to say, I've found that
after playing a lot in NINJAM, playing in person is so much easier. In many
ways, NINJAM makes for good practice (like training at high altitude, etc).
