Training- Wednesday, June 11- I will be there!

[Frank v B]

I will be at Rogo by 5 pm if anyone needs training flights, help with trimming or help with maidens*.

* doesn't quite sound right but will leave it as is.

Maybe if we make an offering of the maidens to Aeolus he will keep the winds quiet!

It worked Paul.

This resembled a great evening.  No rain, some sun, lighter winds than forecasted. Cross-winds but not that it bothered us.

Thanks to Mark and Paul for trying to sort out the perpetual transmitter issue for new students.  The head-banger issue of the hobby these days.

Photo report:
31- Pool Paul (foreground), new member Kirk and "the other" Paul (Scuse) in the back.
32- Colin (green shirt) showed up for the first time in a while.  Good to see him back with his technology cases. New member Jimmy is sitting down.
33- Guy after his walk of same to retrieve his Spit from the field.  A good decision to land in taller, softer stuff considering it was the first real flight of this re-built airplane.  Here he is summing up his landing technique.
34- Kirk after I lost control of his plane.  I took over when it was low and far away.  The "up" elevator move apparently jettisoned the battery.  A permanent type of BEC*.  The arrows point to the stalks stuck in the fuse and wing.
35- the Alien is back.  Great to see Vadim drop by and fly a drone and his two jets.

Thank you @Frank v B for the moral support during the stressful fright.
No damage to the plane, only a screw loose (or lost a loose screw?!?).
