I will be at the field this Sunday from 10-1. If anyone needs help with a maiden or trim flight I would be happy to help.
I will attempt:
- first flight this year of my .60 size pattern plane.
- first flight this year of my E-Flite RareBear bullet.
- first flight this year of my E-Fflite Pogo pylon racer. Anyone else game for an EF-1 race/chase around the field?
- maiden flight of my WW1 Eindecker monoplane. . (.10 size). Bought at an estate sale.
...and maidening an old resurrected plane for Max Sutherland. Always fun going down this road.

Beautiful day flying.
Max's plane flew fine. It was a Dollarama foam board special that looked like a Cub on steroids. It trimmed out hands-off.
1) The .60 size pattern plane (Mr. Shifter from British plans) on 6 cells. Flew great.
2) The Denight Special '50's pylon racer with a .50 on 5 cells flew for the first time. A repaired Great Planes ARF. This one had the motor screech problem at full throttle. Followed Pat MacKenzie's advice and put on a smaller prop and it flew great. From the Rob Dickinson collection.
3) the Pogo EF-1 flew fine.
4) The Dumas 30" Bearcat flew great again but the motor pulsed after two circuits. The esc overheated so I guess it was more than the rated 12 amps going through. Will upgrade it.
5) The E-Flite Rarebear flew fine... as usual. Very fast and very controllable.

Frank is getting ready for our Sept. E F 1 race. We all had better start doing laps. Keep at.
