Some help is always better than no help, lol

Since I've decided to step away from the FPV quads, for a while, and get back to the FPV planes...I've decided to start a new FPV build for my 5.8ghz video system. It's loosely based on the concepts of the Skyfun and the Ritewing Drak. It's not huge but it has a large cockpit for electronics....more to come on that. I was adding the packing tape covering to the plane tonight and my lil girl decided to come lend a hand. Granted, her help made the application more challenging but she was laughing and she was just happy to be lending a hand.

Daddy's little girl! When are you going to get her own quad or heli?

I dunno about getting her a heli or quad but I was thinking about getting her a simple rc car or truck for x-mas. We'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah man...she's always helping me with planes, heli's, laundry, whatever. She just loves to help. I was replacing some fence posts, at my Dad's, this Summer. Makayla was there pulling shovels around for me, putting the empty cement bags out of the way, and all. She's great!

I put together a slideshow with some pictures from this Summer when my wife, Jordan, and my lil girl, Makayla, were helping me replace some fence posts at my Dad's house. Both were awesome help. I just thought some of you would enjoy this.

lol Graham....a lot of shovels here have handles. It just happens that the shovel that I was using that day was a straight handle.

Here's a link to some shovels available at the store just down the road from me:
