January 1, 2009
Ash Creek, Anderson, CA
The 1st of January may not be ideal flying weather, but with a big pot of chili & a crackling fire   the annual Chili Feed Fun Fly drew a big crowd and a good opportunity for the B-36 to perform.
We tested the 6 electric enginesthen taxied out to the runway.
and got ready for takeoff.



LIFTOFF!







After getting airborne, Mike brought the B-36 up to flight altitude.





We made several loops around the field













On final approach

Lined up for landing



TOUCHDOWN!

Safely on the ground.

And the proud parents [Mike Brown & RCBuilder] take a bow.

All in all the B-36 flew well - it needs a lot of runway & open sky.
