[Talkrc] wind seems to be settling tonight

Hmmm, Seamaster's are easy to fly only when trimmed properly.  My experience 
Sunday with a badly out of trim plane wasn't much fun.  Ha, ha, still 
joking, barely.  Crash, bang, crunch, thud!!!!!  Darn, still hurts!  My 
recently acquired back up Seamaster has now become the sole primary 
seaplane.

Grins 'n tears,
Chemikazee
