Title: Flying this Sunday, March 28 10am-1 pm- weather permitting
Post by: Frank v B on March 25, 2021, 10:48:29 PM
I will set aside Sunday 10-1 for flying at Rogo Field.  Happy to help anyone wishing a test flight, trim flight or a flight on the Club Trainer for new and potential members (no obligation).

This is weather permitting.  The forecast shows a POP of 80% so I will be flying in the 20%. ;)
Please look for my post on Sunday 9 am for a go-no go decision.

MMM.... the weather forecast shows a POP of 90%.  Awfully tight to get 100% of my flying into 10% PONP.   ;)

Will make the final call by 9 am. Sunday

Cadez early weather warning system:  currently 5 deg. Feels like 8-10 k winds from the north. Sky is overcast but no dark clouds. You might get a few hrs in. Charging batteries. Attempts at flying dark grey plane in grey sky.

No Go!

It started raining here in Toronto (Yonge & St. Clair) at 8:45 am.  The Cadez weather station in Stouffville just reported at 9:15 that it started raining there.

I will be at the field Wednesday from 2 pm no matter the weather.  It will be a productive visit.  Either get to fly or wash my car in the rain. ;)
