It is November 2nd, Monday 7 A.M. and the wind Gods have relented however the lake has not yet calmed down. There is a pretty good chop but the V bottom floats and long legs on the Curtiss should not prove to be a big problem. All the talk is over, no more excuses, will she fly as an electric?
Pictured below, our Curtiss is ready to go and is being transported in her new limo resting on soft memory foam. Boy these Extreme Power Systems guys really know how to treat a lady!
Above right Scott is lowering the ramp to let the Curtiss out. Below pictured is our Curtiss's Limo
Jim and Scott carefully carry the Curtiss out of the Limo. On the right the Curtiss poses with Jim, Bob and Scott but she is looking a little apprehensive.

After we carried the Curtiss down to the beach and Scott was walking a mile away checking the range on the Graupner XPS 2.4 G, I was reassuring her that the new equipment was the best there is and I was confident she still knew how to fly. She says that she feels twitchy and I informed her it was those new quick powerful digital servos. She seemed to calm down and said it was good to be out in the sunshine, near water and liked her new bright yellow wing tips. She wiggled her ailerons and confidently said "Let's get it on!"
