Just got word this afternoon that the Beeton Boys will be joining us for breakfast.  They are picking out the location now close to the venue.  I will publish as soon as the location is confirmed.

ps: they were going to Toledo Model Expo which is on the same weekend.  They cancelled because of the border dispute. Best news ever that even the modelling community can contribute.

I am formulating a plan to sell some stuff. I can fly small planes from our new property but will be selling some of my faster planes and jets.

I will probably advertise here first and people can collect at the swap meet (or chance the open market selling price!)

The main thing is that it will be good to see old friends.

Note new location for breakfast on Sunday, April 6 at 8:30 am is:

Daybreak Restaurant, 1065 Davis Drive,#6, Newmarket
- Northwest corner of Davis Drive and Leslie.

Report:
- 8 of us joined for breakfast.  4 from the Beeton RC Flyers and 4 from Temac (Andy, Greg, Guy and me).
- went to the swap meet and saw Temac members Michael, David, Karl M., Simon H., Glenn, Good Looking Ken (Ross), Rob D., Peter P., Vadim.
- saw long-time-no-see people like Parker Leung (now back at TEMAC), 4 guys whom I instructed 20 years ago, Frank Crognale (Beeton) who drops by our August funfly, Max (905 squadron), Merv Gohn, Ken Fluney (Orangeville EF1 Racing).

Got some good deals- two matching snarly 28mm outrunners for $5 each, a .60 size outrunner for $10, an E-Flite Power 25 EF1 motor for $20 and a complete P51 kit .20 size from House of Balsa for $40 (they were $85 in 1992!!).  Have built two of these before and are amazing flyers.  Would fly great with the EF1 racing motor (800 watts).   I helped Simon by taking an EF1 kit off his hands. A friend in need is.....

Rudie Nagelmakers (Beeton) received a care package from me containing all IC gas stuff I collected from estates (motor, tanks, motor mounts, flight box, electric starter motor, glow driver, plug wrench, APC props).

He donated all the electric stuff he has collected including a large selection of Lipo batteries.  I will go through them and spread the wealth among members.

Well worth the trip.
Now back to reality. (working around the house  ).

It was so great to see everyone today! It really boosted me to chat with good friends from TEMAC.

That was a fun outing!
Scored 2 kits and a TX.
Now in the doghouse... again. 

Awesome time. Breakfast was good. Lots of chatting. Swap was fun to see everyone in one place. Lots of deals. I basically targeted any plastic models and made a few new contacts. Looking forward to getting to the field.

Great coverage Greg!!
