Title: Flying at Trible Airfield
Post by: john e. holliday on August 26, 2015, 06:32:51 PM
Dave Trible and his son-in-law have done a terrific job on the new circle.   Yes it is grass and rough in a few places, but we don't have to worry about some city jerk### telling else we can't use it.  Dave has been in contact with Shawnee Mission Parks on the use of it.   So I finally got off my duff, loaded planes and usual stuff.  Today was second day in a row for me.  Trying to get ready for the annual Classic and Profile meet in Topeka KS Sunday.   Both days temps in the 80's  and just enough breeze to get rid of turbulence.   Got two good flights on the Corehouse Gotcha Streak yesterday and a test flight on the Hobo.   Today was trying to get the Ringmaster Imperial ready.  Made a set of lines,  .015 X 65 eye-to-eye.   Started with my Fancher handle and narrow spacing did not work.   Took spacing out as far as I could but could not get enough down.  Last flight was with my Big Iron handle.   I think I need some tail weight next time out.   Amazing how out of it I was when I realized I hadn't flown for three months.   Probably looked like a drunk on that first flight yesterday, today was much better.
