Flying Wednesday afternoon , Feb 7 1-3 pm- join us

[Frank v B]

Paul Gray, Mark Satin, Rob Dickinson and I are scheming to be at the field tomorrow (Wednesday) from 1-3 pm.
Come join us if you need an excuse to get outside.
Everything will be a game-time decision based on work and weather....but we will try our best.

Yes, it is February, but it should be above zero and that orange ball may come out to light up our day.

Hi Frank,

I have a new [to me] plane I'd like you to look at, but I can't be there until about 2:30.  I hope I might be able to catch up with you while you're still there.

Weather was nice today; actually superb for a February day. Very low winds, mild temperature, and a partly cloudy sky brought out 10 or 12 pilots today. Here are a few images:

1. Glenn's Cherokee had several great scale-like fights.

2. David's Twin Otter.

3. Frank's model; not sure of the name.

4. Mark with his twin-motor sport plane.

5. Guy with his scratch-built Elder, after it's 4th flight.

6. Rob flew his Bronco, and it looked fantastic in the air!

7. Paul preparing for his first ever maiden of a model. It landed safely!

8. ... and that's me with my Northstar.

Great day, I was quite happy to see everyone.
Elder 40 ready for another flight, the L/G was solidified with epoxy and additional bracing.
Sure is nice to have freedom of time to do that repair quickly.
