Well tomorrow turned into today and now its dark enough its almost yesterday.  Those of you that stayed inside and polished your spinners you missed a beauty!  Lots of sun and very little winds if any.  Cold sure but those of us that flew today are men.

Andy,  Gerhard,  Bill,  Greg C Myself and guest had some flights.  Greg flew his new Cub on floats with no surprises and a solid stable flyer.  I did capture it on video so I will work on getting some of it posted.

Even I, the fair weather flyer, was tempted to get out flying this weekend.  Especially Saturday as the wind was calm and the sun inviting.  I would have liked to try my Cub with floats off snow... but I had to work.  Oh well.  Glad you guys had fun.

Saturday was very nice. Today (Sunday) was OK but grew slightly windy and combined with the already LOW temperatures quite cold.  Still TEMAC had people in and out. Just can't stay away!

Sunday was a great day for full-scale FPV!  I orbited over the field with two passengers at about 2:05 pm and we saw three folks out at TEMAC.  We saw one really fast red and white Great Planes Rifle- or Hotliner-like model which showed great restraint and stayed well below us !!  Who could it be??!!  :)
