It was a Maidenfest.  By the time I left at 3 pm we had maidened 7 airplanes.  It was perfect day for it.
Photo report:
50- my new Boxfly 20- just before the first flight
51- Boxfly 20's first take-off roll.
52- my new Aresti 40 with a power 46 on 5 cells.  Flew well.
60- David telling the little Epsilon to behave before its first flight.
61- cute little plane
63- the moment either the plane rejected the dolly or the dolly had enough of the plane.
65- George just before flying up a storm.
66- George launching into an angry sky.
71- Peter helping Mark set up his Parakeet.
73- David with his 3D-printed twin-engined thingy.  Beautiful design.
75- Michael ready to launch. David's transmitter was actually controlling Michael during the launch.  The plane flew itself.
76- Michael ready to do the javelin toss.  The plane flew really well.
79- Mark smiling after his flight.  This plane flew really well...so did he.

2 seconds... that's being generous.  It was so cute.

Overcast but low winds and mild temperature. Lots of people showed up to fly.

Photos 1 to 4: Peter's 100" wingspan Ryan STA; maiden was great, second flight was better, third flight experienced radio problems and crashed, sustaining substantial damage, but not destroyed.

Photo 5: Mark's Tucano flew nicely.

Photo 6: Mark's sport biplane few well.

Photo 7: David's mini-Epsilon had a 'dolly' take off system. It took off nicely, and flew for about 2 seconds.

Forecast does not look promising for Monday 
Although boats are ready, unsure if I will make it...
More to follow.

Come and join us at Rogo Field 5 pm for training, or a check flight (for new members) or a maiden flight .
Students have priority but anyone can fly. 

If you are a student, please prep your plane per the instructions booklet and charge the batteries.  We will check out the plane, do a quick trim flight and get a buddy box to work with your transmitter.

This year Mark and Paul will do their best to check out your plane for safety reasons and one of the instructors will trim out the plane.

Here is hoping for good weather.

Frank

If anyone is interested. good price but motor needs an upgrade to a 25 for EF1

That is a LOT of sweat equity! Thank you crew so much for improving my odds of no-nose-over landings with the speed bumps tamed.  We should put up "No Trespassing" for the worms who insist on rearranging the topography with their castings!!

Clearly I have been derelict in my singing duties at Toogood Pond.  I will work on a special piece for Admiral Guy and Seaman 3rd Class Frank to properly express my gratitude for their unending nautical tutelage for which I am eternally grateful!! ⛵️😇⛵️

@Frank v B should we explain to @Andy Hoffer the difference between a Schooner and a Ketch?
Thank you for the clarification and to Andy for the great pictures.
