Well it was windy day today. I arrived a 9 am with the wind. Left and came back at 2 and instead of flying threw around my aerobie ring with John, Paul and Ryan for about an hour. Man does that thing go a long distance. We left at 4 and came back at 7:30. John was just leaving. We had a few flights on the trainer cord with Ryan then he flew 2 tanks of touch and goes all by himself. Hes off the cord and on his own, I gave him his wings.

Well it was a nice "no to low" wind day and the field saw heavy activity. Harry, Pete, Don Ryan and myself were among a few of the visitors. I had a fight on the Tripehound and Ryan is doing things with his trainer that trainers shouldnt do so he has moved onto my clipped wing cub. His landings are like glass and his takeoffs are better than most. I think G3.5 has helped him in the last few weeks.

Well It was a perfect night with the best wind I have seen in a while..... None. The streamers were dead all night with not even a hint of wind. Ryan took to the air with my clipped wing cub / 70 surpass combo and proceeded to run through 3 tanks of fuel with John and I watching. He went through as many basic maneuvers as a new pilot knows and shot more touch and goes than I can count. He even had his first dead stick with his trainer and landed from an unfamiliar approach direction and greased it in. Its amazing how quick the kids today learn RC flight and are compitent. He has been able to practice on G3.5 for the last few nights

Rain, Rain, Rain, that is how the event started. It turned to sun and light winds by about 12:00 and the Fun started. We had a strong turn out at the yearly picnic with many flyers and many more spectators. The cars were lined up clear back to the gate!!!!! No casualties at the event and all that flew had a great time. Thanks to all the concessions helpers and John Brooks Sr. for his expert "grillery" cooking the burgers and dogs.....

Great day, Ryan flew his new Ugly stick .40, Evan tore up the skies all day long with his purple daisey trainer and I had a great "no throttle " flight when my fokker DVII forced me to fly the traffic pattern for about 30 minutes at 1/2 throttle with no way to speed up or slow down. The connector popped off the servo arm......... NICE. I ran it out of gas and made a pretty fair landing about mid field with a nice roll out. Rhinebeck here we come. Managed a killer sunburn and a good night of flying. Brian also soiled his armor while test flying his new Tiger 2. With some help from John and I all turned out well and it landed in one piece to return to the sky another night after some tuning and rebalancing. Nice job Brian and way to hang in there......
