Nice weather made it easy to enjoy the day at TEMAC. An impromptu barbecue and a visit from repatriated and returning (founding) member Robert Pike made it even better.

Congratulations to Rob for a superb maiden of his newly built Raven. It didn't need a click of trim!

Hey @octagon. Congrats on the build and maiden Rob D.

Welcome back @piker !!  Did you fly your 25% Cervelo, or your 100% Paul MacCready Gossamer Albatross

(I actually met Paul MacReady at a course at his AeroVironment office, then in Monrovia, California, a LONG time ago!!)

So sorry I missed you Piker!

Hey Gang!

It's so nice to be back.  I hope to be a more active participant going forward.  I hope to fly more next year and I have lots of building to do, so perhaps you'll see me posting in the Construction section of the forum again soon.

No, Andy, I was not flying either of those things  ;D

Hey, Piker is back!  Best news yet at Temac.
Do I still have to do a check flight for this new member?  ;)
I am sure flying a model airplane is like riding a bike.  A thing or two Rob knows a lot about too.
Welcome back Rob.  We missed you.

Frank

ps: for those of you who have never met Rob Pike you will be impressed!
