Lots of fun at the field today!

David and Glenn had a few glider-tow flights. The flights went very well, David using his ultra-micro Cessna to tow Glenn's glider. The glider detached in the air, and both planes flew and landed nicely.

The other images are of David's and my Bronco twins, which flew nicely together.

Swap Meet and Funfly - Sept 21, 9:00amSwap Meet Poster Sep 21-2024.pdf

We had Pizza!!  Thank you David for suggesting it and getting it, Michael for approving it knowing he could not attend and Mark for eating the cost...so to speak.

This was the last official instruction night.  Two remaining students will be helped independently until they solo.

Thank you everyone for a great season.  This was the best season for temperature yet most challenging for cross winds.  Thanks to people who instructed.
Mark and Paul for selflessly spending their time setting up planes and buddy boxes from day 1.  Oscar for helping solve transmitter issues.  George for instructing with a royal accent  , Philip for being there every week, helping out and supplying watermelon.  Guest instructors Simon H. earlier this season, Oscar when he could.

Instructing happened every Wednesday this year.  Not a single session was cancelled due to rain even though on some days the sky looked very angry.
Cross wind flying was our specialty this season.

Tonight Tony Xie earned his wings and Philip was given his MAAC instructor pin.

Looks fab Si

This looks like a fabulous event.  Did you participate in the show or do any shopping, or did you just salivate all over the place?!!!

Looking forward to an in-person in-depth debriefing.

(@Frank v B, Simon has left you some nice juicy bait!!!)


Thanks for the great briefing Simon.

Andy

Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be the last training night of the year.  The days are getting shorter.  There is very little daylight left after trying to beat traffic for an hour to get out of the City for the peace and quiet of Rogo Field.

Please come out for Pizza night tomorrow. It promises to be a good day.

Temac update:

- got in Pogo flights on Wednesday and Sunday.
- Vadim crashed his EF-1 race plane.  It was totalled.  He is switching to his back-up plane.
- just picked up a new 4S 2600 mah battery this afternoon.  That should bump me up to second last place.

Ken,

re: "Frank Do you know if Vadim is coming to the race"....I hope so.  He is giving me a ride!!
