Come and join us.  I will be there regardless of the weather.
If you are part of the training program please join us.  Only 4 more training evenings after that.  We usually stop the last Wednesday in September because there light is so limited.  The sun goes to bed way too early.

Any other members can fly during training evenings but students have priority.  That also means you have to watch out for them.  If you know how to fly you will also know how to avoid.

A beautiful evening and we started early.  Kirk, Amir, Bill and Jeff showed up for training.
Thanks to George for instructing while Paul, Mark and Manny helped set up transmitters.
Then at about 6:30 the wind picked up, the temperature dropped about 3 degrees and out came the sweaters.
Paul Gray had a maiden flight with his new Electro Streak.  Loi, Manny, at Kenny flew up a storm with a few of their friends.  Jeff lost the main gear on his Sensei. He hand-launched his plane with only a nose wheel.  That made for funny landings but at least he got stick-time in.
A nice evening but it is clear that about 7:15 is the latest safe flying light-wise.  We lose about two minutes of daylight per day now.
