Chris,

re: "I'll sadly be in Ottawa all week... Again..."

How much does your boss hate you to send you to Ottawa?

I guess one week in Ottawa is better than two weeks in Ottawa.

... I hope it doesn't turn into three weeks in Ottawa... I haven't planted foam in a while! I won't have any crops for next year!

Looks like a little rain around 7ish so i will most probably be there a little earlier. Got to make the most of the last 2 Wednesdays.
Chris , sorry you will be missing out.

The forecast I'm looking at still looks great!

@WilliamA  and other students, Ddefinitely come early because we can't keep that sun from setting earlier in the west.

[Georgetsigaridis]

Will be at the field by 4 pm. See everyone there.

Yes Bruce, the weather has definitely cleared so it is going to be a fantastic evening. Joseph can come to fly so we will try to come as early as possible, we also have to leave early as he has school . Thanks,

[Frank v B]

Re: 33 & 34.

I landed... softly... applied grass brakes... and just nosed over a bit.  The wind corrected my attitude (which usually needs correcting) and I tried to taxi in off the grass.  I kept applying throttle and the Timber wouldn't move.  Full throttle and not a budge.  Examining the motor mount etc, indeed the motor was loose... but still no power.  The next day, thanks to Richard and Bruce, it was determined that the ESC was pooched.  It delivered a bit of power... but not much.  A new ESC, swiped from my Warwing, and full power was restored.  A full power test almost pulled the motor mount out of the plane due to damaged foam around the mount.  A bit of epoxy, and a bit of paint, and she looks brand new... from 50 ft. 

This may also explain why I was getting only 5 or 6 minutes of light flight... and batteries dipping below 3.6.  We'll see tomorrow.
