As the warbirds day event has been canceled and I've already charged batteries....

Who is going to fly tomorrow anyway?    I plan in going out and doing a little battling with the wind!

Its the battle of the wind funfly!

Bring out your battled and weary and challenge yourself to fly when no one else will!

I'm in.  :)

I think lots of us are coming. Themed or not I was charging all day and preparing some of my finest. Now I will be grabbing some of the ugliest for a day of fun and misfortune.    Should I bring my BBQ?  Similar to last year?  Just a hibachi and some dirty dogs. I could grab a case of water too.

I know it's 6:20 am.  But wind is at 9 k forecasted to 24 this afternoon.

FYI Buttonville forecast at 8 am Sunday = NNW  22 kmh gusting 40 kmh for the remainder of the day.  Perfect conditions for an uglyfest!  :)

I'm staying at home, cos it is gusting too much!

Did you want the rest of the chicken or just the wings?
Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?

Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.

Was good to see the real warriors of the club out today doing battle in windy conditions.  Aside from one fly away Rifle I don't think there was any carnage!  Good demonstration of skill and most seemed to enjoy the challenge.

Looking like today will be a good day to hit the field. I am sure that we all have some batteries left over from the windy weekend.

It was a great evening.

I flew four planes, and helped two others fly.

Something was missing though .....





Oh yeah, the WIND was missing!  ;D
