Last post by Frank v B - June 03, 2025, 11:16:57 PMYes, even though Wednesday is only 45 minutes away, I will be at Rogo Field by 5 pm Wednesday.
Anybody can fly but students have priority.

53- Paul and his glider after retrieving it. A wild ride.
54- Michael after his flight- sans battery hatch. (lost south of the cut grass.)
56- David and his Timber
60- Rogo Field crop harvest stuck in the wing of my Aresti 40.
A nice day..somewhere else in the world.
The day at Rogo was better than a day at work. A good visit.

General Discussion / Flying Sunday June 1, 1 pm.
Last post by Frank v B - June 01, 2025, 08:30:31 PMWent to the field at 12:20. Windy, raining, a 2 out of 10. Then Michael showed up and within 15 minutes the clouds parted, the rain stopped, the sun came out...but the wind stayed. A 6 out of 10. Very gusty, very swirly (yes, it is a word). Then Paul Scuse and David arrived.
Executive summary: Nicely nasty.
- Flew my Boxfly 20. Flew fine
- Flew Paul's 100" Windfree- a handful but got it back near civilization. Scary flight- It was a bucking bronco. If I reduced power it would be blown downwind. If I powered up it would do a 50' Sine curve hoping it would not become a tangent. At any point I feared the wings would break off. The wingtips did not clap. Phew.
- flew my Aresti 40 (Power 46 on 5 cells) - it went squirrily and ditched it reluctantly. Fuse broke in two. Thanks to Paul for helping me with the walk of shame...or as modellers call it "planting balsa".
- Michael and David flew their Widgeons, Timber, etc.

General Discussion / Found a Red Canopy in field
Last post by Crash - May 30, 2025, 11:36:06 AMGreetings
A battery came off my plane perpendicular to E station and while retrieving my plane, I found a red canopy, I will put it under the table surrounding by grass opposite B station.
I can't find my 1400 11V attach is a picture.

Flight Instruction / Re: Training Wednesday, May 28...
Last post by Frank v B - May 28, 2025, 08:25:54 PMWell, that was an adventure: It started to rain at about 3:30.
Paul Gray was at the field and said a new member Kirk showed up...from Lindsay.
Mark and I arrived at 5 pm, introduced ourselves and decided to trim his plane- a HobbyZone Cub with a brushless motor. Took off and flew fine, trimmed it out...in the rain.
Why not.

35 - if a picture is worth a thousand words, Paul and Mark are expressing a thousand words. "this is stupid, this is dumb, this is friggin crazy, etc.".
38- Kirk retrieved his plane after the flight.
