Happy New Year, To One and All!
A good start to the New Year saw BJ (looking particularly fetching in his board shorts), Simon, Andy, Oscar, and me flying. Greg dropped by for a chat and brought along his artistic talent... he's good!
A great winter's day at the field!
BJ was really pumped in his sartorial winter attire.
Simon was sporting a customized transmitter glove, superbly tricked out by Lesley with designer sport sock sleeves and a flannel lining, all rated for RC flying at -40oC - and that's without the gloves he was wearing! Simon also modelled his very cool ice-blue aviator shades with matching heart-stopping holographs of BJ and yours truly, along with a designer toque and balaclava face mask.
Greg Cadez presented another of his superb renderings of TEMAC characters, depicting the In-Spirit Non-Frozen-Finger Non-Fun-Fly! Coming soon to the Art Gallery of Ontario!! Thanks Greg!
Finally, Michael's old "Homing Pigeon" Robbe Gemini (similar to the one in the photo below), which I bought from him years ago, attempted in vain to escape the field over the trees to the west of the loo, gently kissing a tree top branch in a valiant effort to return to Michael before i was able to wrestle it back into something that vaguely resembled a circuit. That was a gift!! My celebration comprised another flight - thankfully uneventful!! ::) Glad I had an audience to share the excitement! :D
Gotta love winter!! 8)

Congratulations Rob! I wish I was there to witness the maiden. :D
Today we had about 10 degrees temp., almost no winds, blue sky and sun shining!
Flying was great!
Please note, the driveway and field are wet, icy and snowy; the runway is muddy. Be careful.
