General Discussion / flying at Rogo Friday, June 6
Last post by Frank v B - June 06, 2025, 08:34:27 PM
A nice warm day at Rogo Field....if you didn't mind the smoke from the forest fires in Northern Ontario and Manitoba.

I counted at least 13 people there.

A lot of flying, changing winds.  It changed several times with a usual switch to cross-winds.


Photo report:
74- Mark and his flying wing
76- Alex and his dog Jacks.
78- Michael and his Kadet Senior
80- Peter and his plane.
83- George and his jet.
85- Alex just before the launch.
87- Paul and his Timber before the splat landing that knocked out the landing gear.
89- Kenny applying suntan lotion.
91- George prepping his jet.
93- Loi prepping his jet.

We saw it happening.  Just before the rains came last night at about 6 pm, there was a significant change in wind direction and wind speed just before the skies opened up. The winds started swirling. It flipped the windsock up and onto the top of the pole.

Thanks to Frank and Andy for their perseverance in problem solving. 

Much appreciated!

Now if we can only get a day with reasonable wind... [even though Andy would find it boring  ;D ].

I know that it does not fly, but the helicopter blades turn on command!

Just a fun project.
PS: I know @Andy Hoffer will have some comment about video quality, background, etc., etc., etc.

Caveat emptor!
