Flight Instruction / Re: Training Wed. June 5 2024-...

A busy evening. Quite gusty and swirley, if that is a possible description.

- 7 students, 3 flight instructors and two transmitter jockeys (Paul and Mark).
Students were Maya, Small Mark, Victor, Omar, Tony, Jeff, Colin's son and Lot.
Instructors..with thanks...George, Simon H., YT.

Lot Leung received his "wings" with a very good flight.

Good to see Simon H. back after a 5 week trip polishing his English accent

Interesting: a large first aid helicopter circled the field at about 500' and landed behind the house to the east of Lysander forest, probably at the nursery and took off 10 minutes later. See photo.

Everything glued and sanded.  The aileron push rod was missing.  There was one hiding in my collection the exact length.

Last job- use light weight spackling (filler).  It dries a dull white.  It is available at the box stores like Home Depot.  There are about three or four types.  Pick it up.  If it feels empty you have the right one.  All others have significant weight. The one I use is DAP Fast'n Final.

Done.

The owner has been contacted.  The wing is awaiting a date with the fuse.

An astute observer will notice that Frank and I wore the same Beaver flying suits on both occasions.  We always like to look our best when on stage. And why spend money on new clothes when  we can spend it on props, plywood, balsa and glue!!

Dropped by the field for a couple of flights.

- Andy and I flew our E-Flite DHC Beaver models (25 size) after the re-builds.  Last year we took this photo (2561)
before our flights and promptly buried the nose on the flights after the photo was taken. Both planes cracked the motor boxes and popped the fibreglass cowl.  Photo 5862 was taken today before we both flew safely at the same time.  Both planes came down in as many pieces as they took off.
- Mark re-maidened his balsa Skywriter bipe with all new radio equipment.  It needed a lot of trimming but flew fine (hand-off) once the trims were done.
- photo 5867 was of David, probably after making a multi-million dollar financial transaction... or not.

In attendance were David, Michael, Paul G., Victor, Kenny, George, Mark, Andy and Alex.

If the weather is good, I will be there and I'm bringing some free stuff to give away. Airframes, building tools, maybe some electronics.

Cheers,
