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......
