Flying this Sunday Oct. 20- 10 am to noon

[Frank v B]

Weather permitting, I will be at the field this Sunday from about 10 am. to noon. 

Look at this post Sunday after 8:00 am for my go/no go.  If "GO", I will bring David's Grasshopper and bring a Nooner in case Vadim can drop by.
If you need help with a plane, a flying lesson, just get rid of some insults or watch me screw up a flight, please drop by.

I hope the weather forecast holds... looks like an excellent flying weekend.

Nooners, Grasshoppers, V900s... what a weekend !

As much as I want to come and try out Nooner, I have all day tomorrow planned out. All with family. But I firmly scheduled next Saturday clean up.

Vadim,

Ok.  You are off the hook but that gives me a week to crash the Nooner before you can try it.  Good thing I have a second one.
Guaranteed two flights for me!

What a gorgeous day!!  No wind to speak of, sunshine, a sweater was becoming too warm and no crashes.

Photo report:

65- Mike was flying his normal mix of Mixmaster planes.
67- Sophia brought her father over.  Sophia  "can you smile?".  "Another day!"
68- a marshmallow put a smile on her face.
70- Michael and Peter discussing the beautiful Corsair.  A great flier.
72- Dave before the first flight of the plane just released by the Coroner (bought if from Dr. John).  No autopsy required.  It flew fine.
75- David with his Piccolo Warwing.... an overpowered gnat.
76- The Mini Warwing flew this far before the beans grabbed it.  The weeds in the foreground are at the south end of the grass.
77- Michael could not hide his grin when the sun came out full strength.  He claimed he brought it with him.

That turned out to be one of the best flying days of the year!

The weather was mild to warm, with only very slight slight wind (ranging from 0 to 10 km) straight down the runway.

I counted over 20 people at one point, and there was lots of non-stop flying, from slow fly models, to jets!

So all year we have been training guys like David, Mark and Kenny how to handle windstorms, cross winds, and rotors.  Then we finally get a perfect day and they don't know how to handle it.   Joy.
Most landings were long because there were no headwinds to slow down the plane.

A very safe flying day.

4. The pits.
5. That's how many batteries I used to fly on Sunday.
