I'd like to introduce my new flying buddy!  This is Mr.Squeaks. He used to work for Mc Donalds, making children happy. but Mr.Squeaks didn't like Ronald McDonald...especially when he told him what he would do with his quarterly audits! One day, Mr.Squeaks watched me with my planes, and asked me if he could join me, as it was something he always wanted to do!  Well, I said okay., and up he went for a spin! Perfect flying, because Mr.Squeaks is, of course, a flying squirrel!  so, say hello to my new buddy! |

Toffers, my dear friend,
Might I respectfully ask if you might have been partaking of the falling down fluid when posting the above?

Not yet, my Lord CH! Just bored. And, may I add, I've always wanted a flying squirrel!

I'm glad you explained just what it is, as I thought it looked like on of the KIA hamsters they use in commercials for our Kia Soul. Glad you have a young one, as when they get old, they require a lot of care. :-)  |

Coupe,
I just love the picture! LOL.
I believe that might look a little like Toff on a good day? (Minus the necklace of course).
Toff, was the squirrel you ate a grey or red one?

Mr.squeaks says ' What weird dream? This is my life! I'm a squirrel, and now I can fly!' Obviously, he didn't say it like that. More sort of 'Squeak, squeak...squeak..squeak, squeak, squeaksqueak...squeak!' But I know what he means.
Don't make fun of him, Ian! He's a rough sort ( bloody good flier though!), and could prove a handful! (Ever seen the rabbit in Monty python and the holy grail? He's much worse than that! Ronald McDonald has a lot to answer for.....) 'SQUEAK!'

Ian, for me, it's a win-win situation! His flying skills are faultless! And..if the worst should happen, I can always say ' It's the squirrels fault!' Who could argue with me?
"SQUEAK!!!'

Toff, you now just need to ensure that he is multi-tasked oriented. It can be a great help to you as you ride to and from your favorite flying fields. :-) :-) :-)  |

Mr.Squeaks is now promoted to Captain!Following a disastrous initial flight,Whist smoke poured from the very overheated motor, Captain Squeaks brought the stricken aircraft safely to earth. After major diagnostic testing, it was announced that the owners had used substandard wiring to the insufficient motor ( brushed 480). Captain Squeaks brought the stricken aircraft to a safe landing, despite heavy smoke and the owners laxity in the correct gauge of wire.
Well done! CAPTAIN SQUEAKS!!
Update:
New wire and brushless motor have transformed Captain. Squeaks aircraft into a docile easy to handle trainer. 250 Watts for a 1.4 pound plane is more than enough!!
