Title: Great flying day in Vancouver
Post by: Percy Attfield on September 22, 2012, 05:33:28 PM

Some of you may know that Rina and I came to visit Vancouver after the Worlds in Bulgaria. Today we met up with Chris Cox, his wife Joan their daughter in law Kerstin Alan Resinger and Keith Varley. It was a really good flying morning.
More than that it was just a good morning to meet friends that we last saw around 11 or 12 years ago. Thanks guys it is part of our 7 week trip highlights.
It did not hurt either that there were a beautiful Sultan and 2 great Crossfires which Cris and Alan fly really well.
Thanks to all the others who were there as well.
Percy

Sure was nice to have Percy and Rina at our field today.They where enjoying an extension of their trip to The Worlds
Yep.   IT is one of the very nice things about belonging to a small hobby.  We are all friendly and helpfull to each other anywhere in the world. IT is wonderful.
Percy brought his version of a take apart Impact with him.Since he and I use the same batteries with the same connectors , I was able to let him use mine and kept them charged from my van .I needed a boost to get started at the end of the flying session. Hopefully we will be able to plan one more meeting ,later in the week.  and all go out to supper together.
The stunt flyers of the world are all part of one big fraternity , and we share universal friendship and respect. Keith Varley

Hi Percy, Indeed it was a great day flying..   I think you really lucked out on the weather. (overcast with no more then 5km wind )  I had a good session as well.. finally got the trim on the Saturn tested out.   As its been very windy ever since late spring. and yesterday's condition was near perfect.  I wasn't aware that you were from out of town (South Africa) till later as I arrived late.   It was very nice meeting you,  and was good to see you flying the Impact.   H^^

Keith,  if using your car battery to charge your cells, remember to start the car up and drive it a few miles.  Doesn't much from the alternator to get it back to full charge.   Glad to hear that Percy and his wife are able to have a little tour of this great planet.
