Here is something you can all weigh in on.

Combining "WarBirds Day" and Battle of Britain Day seems a "No-Brainer" to me.

But I would have to move the Skills Challenge to another day. Here's my question!

'Would you like to have the Skills Challenge on the Sunday or Monday of the
Labour Day Annual Fun Fly'?

Neither! Avoid Labour day, it's when I go away!  ;D

I would like to have the BB day on the correct annivesary day.  It should be stand alone in my opionion.. BB day will be lost with warbirds and jets flying around.  It will be a small group anyways... lol!

I agree with Greg. I think it's great that we have these late season events to get everyone out even when it's getting chilly but having it on the real anniversary date would be a reason to make it an invitational to outside flyers as well rather than just a mini-funfly.

Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?

Papa

Nice going Ed. We have two options so far, which did you agree with?

I guess I have to agree with Greg on both counts!

1)     "ED always causing trouble!!!  ::)"

2)      "I would like to have the BB day on the correct annivesary day.  It should be stand alone in my opionion.. BB day will be lost with warbirds and jets flying around. "

Wow I am a natural.  My Mom always said I was.

War Birds is another day.

Thanks Papa!

You know what this means!  Everyone with a WW2 BB type plane needs to get ready!   

BB (correct me if wrong) I am thinking of RC planes on the market.

Axis
BF109, ME109, Stuka, Ju88, HS123

Allied
Hurricane, Spitfire, Lancaster, mossey, Moth

I am not sure if they used FW190's they were later in the war.  I don't think the US cared much at the time so no P51's or US planes allowed.

I think that the polish pilots were also involved. 

Anyone else think of any planes that would qualify for this event?

sihinch

Who makes a JU88?

ME110s qualify, as do Beaufighters, and Defiants.

Crap!  Now you guys have me interested too!

Which plane shall I get....  hmmmmmm.....

The next one is a year away!  Lot of time to get the wings!

So then what's on the 15th??

Thanks, Imran L
Truly superior pilots are those who use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.
