I just Googled some men's Eskimo names:

We all have Inuksuk as a middle name: Meaning "on the right path".
I hope the path leads to warmth.

Those who attended can pick one:

Amaqjuaq: Meaning "strong one".
Anik: Meaning "brother of a girl".
Apaata: Meaning "father".
Atuqtuaq: Meaning "singer". 🎵
Hanta: Meaning "hunter".
Igaluk: The Inuit god of the moon.
Innik: Meaning "son".
Inuksuk: Meaning "on the right path".

A report from the North Pole:

Well, we flew!  A beautiful day if you have eskimo in your DNA.
This was the group that was left standing:

l to R- Mark, Paul, Jeff (back), BJ, new member Paul Sims.

Not in the photo are Amir and Vadim. They were smart enough to head home earlier.

Hi. I need some a couple of ounces of small lead shot (fishing weights) to add some ballast in a small receptacle. Just wondering if anyone might have some that they could sell me?
Thanks,
George.

Brand new, still sealed in the box.
Bought on impulse last December as a Christmas gift to myself. BTW, here is a little fact that was one of the most compelling reasons for me to originally buy this drone.  Of all the mini drones out there, Dji mini 2, 3, 3pro, 4k, 4pro, 5pro, the Fimi mini, the Potensics etc, etc ... it is the quietest mini drone on the market today ... period.

The next lowest sound "record holder" is the Dji Mini 3 Pro and this "standard" Mini 3 even beats that one! Hear them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_o-ofeszAI

So is the DJI Mini 3 still relevant? See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW6_9bKzPZs and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1D6B9vSYsQ

I'm asking only $370 for quick sale.

Yesterday, the winds at TEMAC where forcast as high and South.  Well, they got the high part right.
More SSW, than south.  Even when the wind was south it was very turbulent.

I went for the warmth and took the right planes for roiling winds:  1 flight of the Viper 90... then it was far too southy.
Vampire, Timber Turbo, and, of course, the little Arrow BAE Hawk which can fly in anything.

9 flights in 30 to 50, mostly 50, winds... but still fun if you didn't expect too much.

Andy flew today, and Loi and Manny and others showed up at the end of the afternoon.

I left in enough time to visit the Rose Family Farm on Davis Dr. for some fresh fries... so... this was a perfect day.

I would like to ask students to let Frank or I know if you WON'T be attending the training session.
If you need my personal contact info let me.
FYI - My phone number was included in the email I sent with your membership docs.

Thanks
Mark S.

It will start at 5 pm.  I will be there regardless of the weather.

Frank

Such a day!

My Fouga Cyclone had some trouble getting off the ground.  The front wheel was rubbing just a tiny bit... enough to stop it.  Mark provided some trimming equipment and we had another go.  She flew very well, with Peter supplying the calming effect during a maiden.  She's such a floater I had power off before the first turn from downwind.  She landed well, softly, but developed a crack in the wing during flight.  This design only had 2 2mm CF rods running the length of the wing.  Not enough.  She needed a 4mm or 6mm CF tube.  I'll patch her up and get her out again.
