I will be at the field this Sunday (if it is not pouring, 70% prob.).
Mission:
- give Eric Lee (new member) a check flight.
- try out Joseph Suskind's (also new member) new Apprentice.
- maiden the Guillow's B-25 twin, 31.5" span (https://temac.ca/smf/index.php?topic=7745.0)
- first flight of the Guillow's Arrow at Rogo Field. It did fly New Year's Day in a Loblaw's parking lot. (https://temac.ca/smf/index.php?topic=7406.0)
- try again with the Hammer bullet. (44" span hand-launch with an 800 watt racing motor).
Let's hope for a dry day.

OOOHHHH! The rain in the 7 day forecast has just moved from Sunday to Monday.
That must be BJ working his magic. ;D
Keep up the good work.

would you have time today?

Ended up to be a great day...then Andy showed up at 12:30. ;)
Photo report-
76- New member Joseph Suskin and his brand new Apprentice just before the maiden flight.
77- Graham helping me out....then he chickened out. 8)
78- Joseph and his new hat with the hair attached. He could be bald.... not!
79- Mark Satin slowly coming back to life after 6 months of family issues. Yes, he managed to smile all morning.
81- My Guillow's B-25 before the maiden fright flight.
82- Andy focussed on photography.
83- ..if the nose turret guns only could...... dream on Frank.
86- ..someone tell Andy the wing goes on the other way. This is not a VERTOL. Notice all the wiring- corporate samples from his days at Ontario Hydro.
87- Q: "Michael, where would you like your coffee?" A: "Right here!"
88- eventually Graham found his smiler.
90- a new guy at the field.
91- Andy still can't figure it out. Note the background: Michael just realized Andy was at the field. "Michael, life's not that bad....don't drive that spike through your forehead"
92- new member Paul Scuse with his back-up trainer.
93- Michael's air force.

@cowboyloi and his superbly flown DH100 Vampire.
@davidk 's Elegant 3D-Printed Sailplane
Dave customized this beautiful plane with a superbly executed drag-chute canopy jettison feature with automatic auto-pilot and auto-land engagement. I understand that now that he has proven the concept he is working on an ejection seat with a personal replica 3D-printed pilot! ;D

Thanks so much
@Michael . There were certainly a lot of great aircraft and amazing flights to play with!

Wow Andy. Great photos*. Neat to see the aileron positions in flight of the B-25 and the Mosquito. The new runway looks great in the photos.
It definitely was a great day at Rogo Field.
Frank

@Frank v B . I know you went well out of your way to provide me with good scary subject matter to photograph, even at the expense of yourself and your beautiful B-25. (Gotta love that fill-flash, eh?) Thanks for getting all dressed up for the photos! ;D
Andy
