New Years Eve Flight
« on: December 08, 2013, 08:39:39 PM »
Gentlemen,

The Members of the Topeka Control Line Association invite you to join us on New Year's Eve to participate in our annual flight that spans two years.  It is an attempt to see how many planes we can have in the air at the stroke of midnight.  You can use any plane you want.  Just tie on a glow stick and join us.  We will be flying at the flying site in Family Park in Topeka Kansas.  After the flight every one can then join us at I HOP for breakfast before calling it a night.

Can't do that here now.  I had to bring in the brass monkeys last night.

Melvin - More details?  How many circles do you have?   Or is everyone just going to literally hold their glowstick-equipped plane up in the air at midnight to be counted...   n~

Paul,

In order to count your airplane has to be flying under the power by the motor.  We normally use 1 circle, but our flying site has one pavd circle and enough room for two grass circles.  The most we had up in the air at one time was 5 in the same circle.

You guys are insane!  Anything less than 75F degrees is unacceptable.

Oh, well...have fun.
