Today was a beautiful day at Rogo.  Michael counted 14 cars.
Gentle wind from the north allowing long landing approaches from the south.

Photo report:
02- Don't tell Andy a plane needs two wing halves.
03- Paul working the guts of his biplane.
06- Glenn and Michael ready to fly their corporate jets.
08- My Great Planes Super Sportster EP.  I added retracts and a brushless motor.  This was a brushed motor design.
09- George bringing his jet home.
11- Two Polaris designs from the same plans.  Mark's is on the left, mine on the right.  .46 motors 5 cells.  No stabilizers.  A '70s design by Bill Evans. Biggest benefit- without a stabilizer this plane is so easy store and load into a car.
14- Glenn and his Air Canada jet.  Great flight.
15- Andy "let me take a picture of your plane but no green masking tape".  Only the tail was without masking tape or rubber bands.  Note the chin strap on his hat.  Not so the hat will not blow away.  It is so the hat does not lose Andy. ;)  ;D
