Wednesday, June 8- beautiful training day

[Frank v B]

The weather stayed nice, the winds died down when the training started and the rain stayed away  It did spit a couple of drops but nothing to run away from.
Thank you to instructors Philip, Simon, Peter, Carlos, Mark, Vadim and BJ.  Gregor arrived at the end because he could not get away from work early enough.  Unemployed people do not have these problems.

Students Scott, Ethan, Paul Scuse, Pool Paul, Colin's sons, Alvin, Gord.

Photo report:
71- Ethan urging Simon on- "Simon, for crap sake, get the plane going".  He had to change the ESC.  Thanks for his contributions.
72- Carlos and Scott
73- Peter, Colin and his son
74- Vadim supplying the wrench and Simon doing the field's version of EdEdge's fork in the electrical socket.  Shocking!
76- This can't be good- 3 men and an open instruction manual.  Men don't read manuals!  BJ, Paul and Mark trying to link up two transmitters.
77- BJ being pensive.
79- Decision made- To heck with the instruction manual- get out the five pound sledge hammer.
80- Scott, his son and instructor Peter.
81- Scott ready to go.  We will not see him for about a month because of family health issues back in Australia.  Safe trip! Safe home.
82- Paul prepping his plane.  He borrowed Mark's Timber to keep flying.  Thank you Mark.
83- Mark after the successful maiden of his Covid project- a balsa Cub.  The first flight went well.  The left wheel came off after touch-down.  Good job building it!
84- Ethan giving Vadim some pointers on safe flying... or was it the other way around?
85- Carlos after giving about three lessons.  Ethan and Vadim in the background.  Ethan's father Dan to the left.
86- Vadim prepping his EF-1 pylon racer for his first-ever EF-1 flight.  Went really well.  Great going.
87- Vadim after his first flight with an EF-1 racer.
89- Greg was able to make it.  His shirt says "Pur-O-Clean.  His state of mind is "Nev-r-Clean". 

Looking forward to next week.

Hopefully Paul G can figure out why the master and slave wouldn't work together.
We tried everything we could think of, without success
Great turnout from both students and instructors.
Thanks to all!
