Weird evening.  It always threatened to rain but never did.  Ten raindrops.  I checked at home- at Yonge and Eglinton it poured buckets for about 10 minutes at 5 pm.  Nothing at Rogo Field.
Thanks to Paul and Mark for continuing to tear out their hair out to get Spektrum transmitters to talk to each other.

Photo report:
04- New member Nick passed his check flight and is now a full flying member.
06- How many people does it take to screw in a wing on an AeroScout?
08- New member Kirk had 3 or 4 more flights today.  He is doing well.
11- New member Alex got in a few flights on the Club's AeroScout.  This model was generously donated by ex-member Alan Lofft who moved from his apartment into a retirement home on July 1.  He had to get rid of his model collection and donated everything to the training program.
12- Paul discussing with Mark on how to get Spektrum transmitters to talk to each other.  Conclusion- they don't and never will.  Thanks for the effort.
13- returning member Massoud dropped by.  He did not fly last year.

Also, thanks to Instructor George for his help tonight.

Please join us for training if you need lessons and flying if you need air time.
Happy to help with maidens, trim flights, repair approaches. 
Put the instructors to work. That's what we are here for.

What a beautiful day.  The weather was incredible courtesy of the Beeton Boys*.  They were guests at our BBQ.  The dogs were great, the visitors were great, the state visit by Bill Quantock was amazing because he is always a kid at heart.  He drove 2 hours to get to our event.

Photo report:
90- Dogmeister Mark Satin cooking up a storm....and getting the right amount of charring (carbon) on David's hot dog.
91- the Beeton Boys flew up a storm.  A year's worth of rolling circles at Temac in one visit.
92- Paul looking up for divine intervention.
93- Simon flying his eggbeater (helicopter) for a lunch-time display.
94- Bill Quantock readying his plane.
95- Mark prepping his biplane
96- Paul after finishing his official Club Greeter assignment.
97- Peter and another big plane.  His planes grow in size as he gets older.

* when the Beeton boys were invited,  Rudie was told he was in charge of the weather.  His reply earlier this week was "Sounds good buddy looking forward to it, have already booked the weather lol."
He definitely delivered.  Rudie is our new Zone Director (L).
