Ashiya Symphony Orchestra

Ashiya Symphony Orchestra 83rd regular concert was held at The Symphony Hall in Fukushima Osaka the day before yesterday on Sunday. Fist of all must I report about very sad news, the string trainer Toru Inaniwa had gone away on the end of this April, who had been contributing as long as 30 years to the Orchestra. We want to express the best condolences so respectfully for him. And at the beginning, the memorial music was played prior to the event.
The conductor was Yoko Matsuo as usual and she did it perfectly.

The program were followings;

E. Chabrier: Espana, rhapsodie pour orchestre

N. Ravel: Pavane pour une infante defunte

J Ibert: Escales.....
1 phrase Roma palermo
2 phrase Tunis nefta
3 phase Valencia

H . Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique, Op.14
1phrase Reveries Passions phrase Un Bal phrase Scene aux Champs
2phrase Marche us Supplice
3phrase Songe d'une Nuit du Sabbat
As a bonus program replying the biggest applause by the audiences, Gypsy Festival was played, also good enough to be satisfied.

If I declare some candid advice here, the performance sound pressure level was too high for my eardrum being caused some saturation, the independence of the delicate sound of every instrument was not discerned. It should be a little more gentle, probably the instruments themselves might be caused so to speak saturation, above their capabilities?
It's regrettable to describe like this, because the capability and the potential of the Ashiya Orchestra are not the second to any other professionals.
Anyway we enjoyed enough that evening.

YaHoo Auction as a seller

In order to clean my garage, started I YaHoo Auction as a seller and my holidays the other day had been occupied by the work with contacting with buyers, packing and shipping, as shown in the photo. Short period of time like this is OK, but as a main business, I wanna refuse this work. This situation would continue more two or three weeks, it is troublesome and tiresome so much.

Bad day today

I had some bad failure today, though I was asked to take photography record of the amateur Japanese Dance at Southern Osaka this noon, I could not come the place in time, my arrival was delayed over 30 minutes. To tell the truth, from the beginning my departure was not in good condition, missed I one train with losing 10 minutes, over riding one station returning back with 15 minutes, final train I took could not come to the desired station 3 in front of that being obliged to wait next one 10 minutes loss, so 35 minutes was lost in total. Just losing one train affects so much to the result in total. It was a bad day today to have made trifle mistakes, how come?

My first EP flight

Past Thursday was the first day that I had an opportunity to try EP plane for the first time. The model airplane was my modified Majestic 30 with Futaba motor FMA-5055KV410 embeded instead of gas motor. Though 4 cell 14,8V Li-Po battery was selected at first, I realized it was not enough voltage to make maneuver and exchaned into 6 cell battery. APC 17-8E prop provided me enough capability to make patterns in the sky. The response is different from the of gas power, some different possibility to proceed into EP world was premonition. Because the center of gravity was not established in Majestic at all, the adjusting procedure was required there, too nose heavy phenomena was observed. Basically, the C/G position must be adjust by moving the heaviest component, battery(for motor and RX and servos) must be moved to posteriory, so this procedure might require the repositioning of rudder and elevator servos backward, it's troublesome and complicated manner?

Citroen C5 Tourer?

Citroen C5 Tourer is one of my favorite vehicle in the world in addition to my former experience to have used CX-2400 over 30 years ago, still now it's specific pneumatic suspension construction is inherited in C5 models with some sophisticated computer controlled design. Though I almost made up my mind to purchase it for my own hobby use, it's weight over 1,6 ton made me hesitate to proceed to go such direction. Because my concept on my vehicle is based on an old idea that the weight should be around 1,0 ton with 100 HP motor is the most well balanced power weight ratio, I cannot accept the heavier vehicle to carry myself and my hobby materials to the airport. Probably I'll buy TOYOTA Probox in near future for my hobby lives.

Working on EP

Though holidays as they were, yesterday and the day before it, didn't I go out for flying model airplane at all staying at working place with preparation work for the flights. All the traffics including highways are crowded so much with laymen drivers, it very difficult to enjoy driving without any fears of car accidents, this is why I didn't get out of here. The works on EP planes are getting well, Sonic Acro is established about 95% applying 3rd party 100A ESC, and Majestic is 100%, in addition enRoute Draco toy plane that was brought to me by my intimate friend was also done at 99%. Electric motorization in my R/C life is all set in place for this warmer season.

YS45FS motor

YS 45 FS motor obtained at 1,000 yen as a junk material has survived with perfect performance by just replacing crank shaft supporting main bearings, 6902 and R6Z. No wear was observed on the both ends of connecting rods, probably operated for a very short period of time, no scratches on the piston side wall and on that of cylinder. So, it became like new after an overhaul procedures. This motor would give me no claim no no desire if I use this on any maneuver airplanes. I have tens years of experience on FR 60 model, before I take part in the All Japan Competition, I have some good confidence to make use of this one ultimately. As YS FS and FR series on 45 and 60 had been established models in the world as the best motors, this would last me at least while I'm in this hobby life.
