Forecast for tomorrow looks great.  Let's hope it stays that way.  I'd be charging my batteries if I were you.

Going to be there Come Hell or High Water!
Bad luck comes in threes - so last weeks flat tire should be the end of it!

It's a go.  The forecast is still great, so considering the positive attitudes of Paul, David and Simon, we can't go wrong.  See you there.

Great evening.  Lots of students and flight crew... I believe everyone went home with discharged batteries and their aircraft in one piece.  Good go!

Instructors were very busy tonight... and all smiles... thank you.  Can't imagine spending a better evening with a better bunch.

What a nice evening.  Great to see each student had a dedicated instructor plus extras.  At one time I counted 16 cars in the parking lot.

Here are some photos.  A caption contest follows:

Members and their planes:

38- Simon and his new Mule Twin.  Flew really well even with him at the controls.   ;)
40- Richard and Gray with his Cub-style trainer.  He flew it well.
46- Dave and his cardboard shipping container.  Don't laugh.  This simple Flite-Test Simple Cub flies well.
62- Gerald and Simon before maidening Gerald's 3 cell leaf blower.
81- Oscar and his Flite-Test seaplane.  Piker, eat your heart out.  It flew well.

If these people could only manage a smile. ;)

36- Simon in his element (at Rogo, with a model airplane, with friends)
41- Moshe finally cracking a smile.
50- Graham just failed sign language class.
52- Gerald caught reading an instruction booklet.  Stop reading.  Ask Oscar.
65- Chris finally managing a smile.  First time for everything.

45- Oscar and George.
48- Oscar and George.
56- Rob Dickinson and Paul
58- Simon and Dave
59- Dave giving Simon a lesson on the finer points of finesse flying.  Simon is learning quickly.

What are these people saying.  Communication by signing.

35- "Gerald, why don't you understand..."
43- Two people just managing to count to 4... carry the two!  Graham, do not flip out the next finger!
49- The 3 people who make up the Club's brain trust.  They solved all the problems they created tonight.
50- "You start here and then you twist it with your right hand..."
55- What is Simon saying to Dave.  "... then along came this big alligator. Chomp, Chomp....."

16 cars? Frank must be missing a few toes.

I counted 21 cars. Don't ask me how I counted so high.
