Just wanna say how excited I am about the pilots meeting tomorrow.
Feels weird that the weather is so good at the moment and we are starting our winter events schedule. There were times this year when the wind and the rain made me feel that we weren't going to get any weekend flying in!!!
But we had a great summer and I'm starting to get itchy to build. I love the pilots meetings because they allow me to get advice and ideas from more experienced members, and inspiration to repair or build exciting models.
Hope to see lots of you there.....,
Unfortunately I won't be there :( I have volunteer hours to get done. Hopefully the next one ;D
You been in trouble with the law, Imran?
hee hee ... all high school students have to get volunteer hours in to graduate these days
It's easy. Just form a band and play community events. My son got all his hours by doing what he wanted to do anyway. He would get 8 hours for a 1/2 hour set ('cause a lot of effort goes into practicing, set-up, etc...) ;D

my daughter will get hers by taking glider lessons with the air cadets :)... she has her first lesson this Saturday!
Now that's cool Greg! I'm jealous. When I was in the Air Cadets in the UK, I did 1 glider flight. It lasted 4 minutes, but was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The noise (or lack of it) was simply wonderful.
I've had an idea - can't Imran2 get their volunteer hours by tidying our field and doing some maintenance?! ;D
That IS cool, Greg. Man, I don't know why I didn't join Air Cadets as a kid. What was I thinking? I didn't even play hockey! What a looser!
Were you too busy chasing girls, Robert? ;)

I was actually hoping there was something we could do involving the feild\temac to get hours :) can we do anything?

Chasing... not catching.
Plus I was too busy playing with toy RC planes. Have you guys heard that RC planes are a real chick magnet?
Hey Robert!
Don't call my friend a loser! :)
I wasn't in cadets or hockey or anything either. I did model planes and read books.
Started flying real planes when I was 16 though. Wish I coulda kept it up.

I'm in cadets too :D. I volunteer helping younger kids learn to play hockey and develop their skills.
My first gliding with cadets is on the 20th of Oct. maybe if I'm lucky I'll get some nice shots of Rogo
Have fun!
And now back to the original topic.
Wish I could attend the pilot's meetings but my current pursuit of higher education keeps me in class until 7pm. So factor in the drive home from Lindsay and I'm out of luck. Which is too bad because I really enjoyed last year's meetings. Hopefully my schedule in the winter term is better.
For any of the Temac members who are wondering if they should attend. My answer is "yes" always lots of fun. Food, drinks, show and tell, sometimes educational presentations, and lots of laughs talking about the fun we had at the field this summer.
Thanks :) and its okay Mike, there'll be pictures ;D
