Well flying on the 15th was lots of fun!  It was like a mini fun fly!  Lots of great planes flying around.  Ken had an amazing Bronco, Michael with his large moth and larger Cessna?  All the boys were out, we had a flight with some Windrider Hurricanes and a HK Spitfire from Bill.  The pylon racing with the pogo and other planes was crazy cool!  Some real good landings on the run way and some not so good. 

I somehow had managed to twist one of the landing gears on the TF 115 Corsair on take off...  It flew great and is so nice to see in the air.   The landing was a bit tricky as the one wheel was sideways.    Well "crunch" as it landed it made a spectacular scene as the battery ejected from the sudden stop and had all the plane guts all over the runway.  It looked way worse than it was.   Collecting all the bits, It ended up about a 1 hr repair and I felt better afterwards, just lacking a cold beer to celebrate.  The cowl only broke two attachment points and the retracts only lost one link.   I ended up finding it in the landing gear bay.  After some quick surgery and re-alignment, it was all back to get there an ready for another flight.  These old TF kits are heavy, but very tuff.

It was a great day!  Looking forward to more in the summer!  What a great club!

I had a great time on Sunday. I brought the Albatros and T28 out for maiden. Thank you Greg and Greg C in trimming the planes. Both planes are maiden and landed successfully.

I met a lot of new club members that afternoon. Not to mention, lots of different types of planes.

I could be tempted......


It's either fly or build.

Your sense of freedom is overwhelming you!  You can't even wait until tomorrow morning

Just go Simon!  You can build on Sunday when it's raining.  The worst that can happen is that you have the Loo all to yourself!

What an exciting day at the field today!!


Burning ESC's, Nosediving gliders, a mid-air collision, a stryker ejecting it's battery in a flat spin, and some pretty decent flying in the summer sun.


I hope the boys over at Tavares pond had as much fun as well!

Nice flying, Simon.

I love the sound of that plane as it flies through the air, and the sound of the prop.

Big planes are fun, and unexpectedly elegant in the way they fly.

Forecast appears to be pretty good today.  After a fantastic night of training, anyone want to hit the field and fly something fun?  I am going to grab my Great Planes SUPER steerman and maybe the Kyosho Spitefire.
