Hotdog BBQ day August 27, 2023

[Andy Hoffer]

RC junk from my trunk

I will be bringing some planes and stuff to sell or just give away at lunch-time.
If you have some stuff to sell, please place it inside the wire fence with a price tag on a Post-it note on the item(s).
If you have just a few items, leave your trunk open with a price tag on the items.  I will bring Post-It notes and magic markers if you need.

Frank

Andy- please do not place $5.00 price tags on the planes I am flying that day!

The administration may decide to place "for sale" items together near the tall grass at the south end if the day gets busy.  A game-day decision.

Sure thing @Frank v B !  $4.00 it is!

Coming

Hi Everyone,
We are planning to have another BBQ at the TEMAC field on Sunday August 27. The BBQ will be free for Temac members. We wlil be cooking up some delicious all beef hot dogs. We will have condiments, but please bring your own drinks. We'll start the Q about noon, and then enjoy flying afterward. We are not planning any organized flying events, just bring whatever you feel like flying. Come on out and enjoy a good hot dog, some laughs, and some flying with friends
Please reply  to this subject posted on the General Discussion area on the forum if you are planning to attend to give us an idea of how much food to supply.
Cheers, your executive, Michael, Dave, Mark and Rob.

Frank (our CFI) has confirmed that our friend Paul Hepworth will attend. He's an amazing RC pilot, and everyone will enjoy watching him fly!

I've heard rumors that prizes will be given away. Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to Aug. 27.

Would my flight over the field at 2,000 feet in a Cessna A150M count?

Guy,

re: your  "Would my flight over the field at 2,000 feet in a Cessna A150M count?"

Only if it were electric.  Otherwise you are SOL.

Hope you had a good flight.

Frank

[Oscar]

Photo report:

42- Frank and Chris from Beeton wondering who should fly first.
43- Rudie and Rick from the Beeton club visited us for the day.  Perfect guests.  Oh, they know how to fly well..as well.
44- What do two retired computer sales people talk about? .... people they know.  Mark from Temac and Rudie from Beeton.
47- Michael calling the world's shortest Pilot's Meeting.
49- Paul Scuse and his wife.
50- Paul Hepworth flying
51- his Bronco.  Huge.
60- more Bronco
85- is that big enough? (50 lbs!)

92- Greg scoring a dog.
97- Glenn, Simon and Dave before their Lancaster flight.

What an excellent day, perfect weather, and great fun and flying.

Thank goodness Peter macheted his way through the Pilot Station jungles... Paul's beautiful Bronco handled the remaining rough with ease.

More photos:

03- Paul Hepworth's aerobatic plane...with my  Guillow's Streak on the nose (180 on 2 cells).
06  David loves his dogs well done.  He doesn't order them "rare", "medium rare" or "well done".  He orders them "first, second or third degree burns".
08- Oscar setting up his spy plane.
10- Oscar ready for a day at the office- setting up his pilot station with the correct control yoke (aileron and elevator), rudder pedals and throttle as in a real plane.
11- Oscar conscripted a sketchy co-pilot.   The backup transmitter was for safety just in case something went wrong..so it would be my fault.
13- Paul and Rob drawing the winners of the gift certificates and prizes donated by Pinnacle, A&J, GreatHobbies and John's Hobbies.
16- Dave won the 7 channel Spektrum receiver with satellite courtesy of John's Hobbies.
19- Paul just before the maiden of his new Pitts.  Flew beautifully.
