2013 TEMAC Indoor Funfly - Sunday evening, Dec. 29, 2013

[piker]

We've been without power at home since Saturday evening (I'm at work now so I can post  ) but the fringe benefit was that I had nothing to do on Sunday other than get my indoor planes ready.  I'm looking forward to the Great TEMAC Dome Fly of 2013!

Anyone flying a 3D/pattern model with AS3X should be required to wear one of these, just so we know they are "cheating" 

(I do have the Gee Bee with AS3X - it does fly very nice  )

Where do I order the hat?

I will try to remember to bring one with me

Hi Rob,

   Is your power back on yet? Ours died Sunday morning, came back on today.
   We don't have a fireplace, so it got pretty cool last night

  Still lots of areas without power, Pape Ave for example north of the Danforth was pretty much blacked out all the way to the Leaside Bridge
  when I was on the bus this afternoon.

  (Doesn't Colin live in that area?)

  Has anyone checked to make sure the Golf Dome didn't deflate?

I spoke to them this morning.

Everything's fine there; the GREAT TEMAC INDOOR FUNFLY is still on schedule.

Note the time change: 6pm (not 7pm) to 10pm.

Another hour to fly!  What a disappointment!  Thank goodness we have you Michael lol

[Papa]

Yes Indeed, we can have him play tambourine from 6:00 until 7:00 if you wish!

Merry Christmas, I just heard some reindeer on the roof or maybe another branch has fallen.

I'm betting on reindeer ... no sawing just shoveling!

Jack.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Our power came back on as we were leaving the house yesterday for Christmas Eve dinner at my sister-in-law's place.  There were still lots of areas that we drove through that didn't have power.  I hope everyone is staying warm enough.  We were lucky as our gas fireplace kept the house comfortable.

Oh, and Colin is at Lawrence and McCowan.  I haven't heard from him lately.

Yeah Pat, I used to live at Woodbine and Danforth ... and I hear that area was hit pretty bad.  At my current place we were down for about a day or so ... we were lucky I guess.  I know people (my brother Derek being one of them) who STILL don't have power from since Saturday!

Our power was out for three days.   It sure is nice to be able to charge batteries at home for winter flying again!

Our gas fireplace was the make or break for us too, aided by a Coleman stove on the front porch.  I have taken great pains to point out to my good spouse the transferable skills and benefits of our hobby in times of emergency.  Using 3-cell lipos to power a 12-volt cell phone car charger scored great points.  Our resourcefulness, honed on things like building, repairing and flying RC aircraft, yields great domestic endorsements for that next RC purchase !! 

Cheers!

  Merry Christmas everyone!
  Wow what a week, I was lucky, only lost power for 24 hours. However, I bought a generator. That helped big time.
   Andy, You are such a trooper, well done on surviving three days without power.
   Just wanted to say how much I am looking forward to  seeing you guys at the dome fly
   Cheers
