Well, we flew. The weather could best be described as a dog's breakfast. Yes, being kind.
Gusty, stormy, cloudy, spitty and a word that rhymes with the last one.
Look at some of the angry clouds in the backgrounds of the photos.

The rain stayed away long enough to get in two hours of flying and converting Athol's auction stuff into cash. Thanks Philip, Colin, Mark, Gregor, Jan and Paul Scuse for buying the stuff.

Noah got his wings.  Good flying in difficult conditions and making a correct decision for a safe landing versus a stylish one.  Also thanks to coach Paul Gray for standing beside him.

New members Omar and David got their new planes maidened.  Thanks to Mark and Paul Gray for getting their transmitters set up for the first flights.

TMU university (ex Ryerson) student Maya got in 2 safe flights and a shortened 3rd flight when it started to rain.  The plane sported new aluminum and Tuc tape to hold it together.  It should be named TucPrentice.

Paul Scuse's new birthday present , a twin Timber, survived the maiden flight.  The second flight was scratched when it started to rain.

Thank you to Mark, Philip and Pool Paul for spending time with the students.

The model does not need lots of rudder in flight.

While it needs constant attention, as do most biplanes due to drag, it flies well.

Lots of rudder?
