All shivering aside, I aim aiming to be at Rogo Field from 11 am to about 1:30 pm.
In February we would probably call this a beautiful day, but....

if you need a hand with a maiden or trim flight I would be happy to help.

Well, windy was not an apt description.  Add gusty, cold, miserable and spitting rain at about 1 pm and you get a bit of the true feeling.  In February this would be considered a good day.

Mark, Noah, Paul G. were smart enough not to fly.  Simon Chapman, Simon Hinchcliffe and this guy (flew my V-900 and Skylane) were desperate enough to fly.  Jeff Fisher, new member, dropped by and had his FliteTest plane maidened.  It flew fine.  A couple of adjustments will make it fly better.

Greg Cadez showed up to pick up Mandeep's repaired 2.1 m Cessna.

Here are the photos:

28- Temac's Four Musketeers- Mark, Simon H., Paul Gray and Simon Chapman.
31- new member Jeff checking the battery voltage on his plane after the maiden flight.
32- Simon- it is easier to fly this plane with your eyes open!!  So fast you would miss it if you blinked. He blinked (5S, 60 amp ESC).  Should be ballistic when it does fly*.
36- Roger "That" Mason showed up.  Good to see him still active.

* the ESC connection disconnected from the receiver so it did not fly.
