2016 Kingston Electric Fun Fly

fliegerfunker · June 22, 2016, 11:06:25 PM

Looking forward to everyone coming. At this point, Keith Shaw is planning to come, depending on the results of an ophthalmology appointment tomorrow morning. His van is packed.....

Weather looks good, just waiting on the wind direction. We may have to fly from the North/South runway, (the CD can do that). And Wilf is OK for float flying at his place.

Last fall, long time member Ron Watts died. He was the person who got me involved in electrics. (I missed having to re-wind windshield wiper motors but did get to regard 800ARs and 1200SC batteries as state of the art!) Ron had a lot of stuff, but while we auctioned much of it off, I saved 5 (FIVE!) kits for an entrant draw.

See you this weekend,

Martin

The pilot in that last model is amazingly realistic!!!

Love the Albatross, too.

Looks like you all had a blast. Sorry to have missed it.

that was a real plane ... ultralight did a touch and go for us. The Kingston club as radio so they can talk with each other

looked like a really cool event to attend! love the pre war racers, mew gull, gee bee and what ever that diamond shaped wing racer was... very very cool!

it's always a good time

... BTW the diamond shaped plane is a Crosby CR-4:

I believe Keith called it the "F-104 of piston powered planes"

Here is the video of Michael flying his Tiger Moth at Kingston last weekend. It was truly one of the best days of flying I have ever experienced.
