What a beautiful day.  The weather was incredible courtesy of the Beeton Boys*.  They were guests at our BBQ.  The dogs were great, the visitors were great, the state visit by Bill Quantock was amazing because he is always a kid at heart.  He drove 2 hours to get to our event.

Photo report:
90- Dogmeister Mark Satin cooking up a storm....and getting the right amount of charring (carbon) on David's hot dog.
91- the Beeton Boys flew up a storm.  A year's worth of rolling circles at Temac in one visit.
92- Paul looking up for divine intervention.
93- Simon flying his eggbeater (helicopter) for a lunch-time display.
94- Bill Quantock readying his plane.
95- Mark prepping his biplane
96- Paul after finishing his official Club Greeter assignment.
97- Peter and another big plane.  His planes grow in size as he gets older.

* when the Beeton boys were invited,  Rudie was told he was in charge of the weather.  His reply earlier this week was "Sounds good buddy looking forward to it, have already booked the weather lol."
He definitely delivered.  Rudie is our new Zone Director (L).

Wonderful day at the field. Perfect weather!

Nice to see our MAAC Zone director and other friends from Beeton.

Thanks to Mark for cooking, and all who helped.

So many good landings!

Another feature of the BushMule is the in-built cargo door in the rear of the fuselage. This brings another touch of fun by allowing you to drop candy or a parachute during flight.

reviving this post from a bit ago. decided to at least repair one of my old gear doors and the pitot tube. i took one of the small plastic cylinders from my destroyed gear door and put it on one of the others that was just missing that little peg, the one on the bottum is the repair. now once I'm ready to throw the door back on i can just resolder the light and it'l be good to go.

Landing gear installation is complete, except for wiring (it's all tested for good operation).

Correction from the last post: The nose gear assembly is screwed in place from the front; the retract must be removed temporarily to enable this.
