Hello everyone, I thought I would write to tell ya'll how am I passing these August 2007
vacations here in Zhuzhou Hunan China.
Well first I am not so careless, so I am working part time to make
some money for the month of August. Cuz during August foreign
teachers are not paid :(
Second, yeah, I have finally moved on to bigger Nitro Engine
powerful planes. you can check photos in the new album that I have
uploaded.
Let me tell you how did I move? Ehehehehe
For my first Nitro plane, My friend Mr. Yang, who is an expert
Engine RC Airplane pilot in Zhuzhou, Helped me out and built the
plane together with me. You can see the big Yellow Trainer in
pictures. During that time he trained me on how to prepare planes
and engines.
He also helped me by giving useful suggestion before my first Nitro
Engine RC plane flight and monitored my first flight, take off, and
landing after which he was satisfied by my performance and he told
me that I can fly these planes without troubles now.
Well then, after three or four weeks of flying, I finally worked on
another Beautiful and expensive plane Edge 540 Red Bull. I spent
about 2 weeks working on it at home. Finally, today we all ran to
field.
My car was filled with plane, and other accessories. We reached
there, and saw that Xiaofeng (my friend, best helicopter flyer) and
other Xiao (A learner flyer, crashes what ever he flies LOL) were
already there waiting for us.
I brought the plane back and received admiration from my friends. We
then sat down to start the Powerful ASP Engine for the very first
time. I was so excited. I ignited the engine, and put my finger on
prop to hand start. The Engine started smoothly without any
troubles. We were happy, I was even more excited. Engine stops
(natural) I then put my fingers on prop to start the engine and
notice the blood on prop :) Surprise? whose blood was that? Well I
was so excited that I did not notice that the propeller is new and
sharp as a knife. My mother ran and brought me bandage. I then used
Electric Engine starter and started the Engine.
We left the plane for Engine Break in period. I was so patient
though I wanted to fly it badly. But I was patient. I waited.
Prepared other parts of the plane, flew my little helicopter, played
my little Nitro Engine Truck. and finally we all moved to our old
place where we fly planes daily.
there I started putting the parts together and setting up the Plane.
I then configured every last thing that was necessary. Finally since
2:30 Pm it was 6 P.m. That plane got ready to fly.
I brought Edge 540 Red Bull to fly strip. Plane moved smoothly
towards the end of the flying field to take off against the wind.
Finally I pushed the throttle and plane rose up in the sky
beautifully with a very smooth and well tuned Engine sound.
I circled the plane around, doing regular and basic aerobatics to
check if every surface is working properly and what this plane is
capable off.
I flew it for few minutes and then Edge 540 Beautifully aligned
itself to runway and gave us a smooth landing. I turned and saw my
friends who clapped for me and admired my skills.
It was time to take pictures. so we took pictures and then brought
the plane back for disassembling to carry it in my small car.
Finally 6:55pm we headed back, stopped and bought ourselves a large
hot and spicy Pizza from Pizza hut. came back, swallowed the pizza
and started writing this message.
Well now the story of the day is over. It's just one day of my
holiday. Most of the days are filled with excitment, thrill,
adventure, romance and challenge. :)
Alright folks, Thats All Ali Wrote.
Drop me a line or write back how are you passing your vacations.
