The Weather will be wonderful this weekend in St. Louis!  No rain forecast, temps in the low to mid 70's.  Winds under 10mph.  Stunt and Scale heaven!

  Check out the link above. This is the aviation weather site that Steve Smith turned me onto to get an accurate look at weather conditions. This is for St. Louis, MO and you can navigate to other cities from there and save the location.

    Yeah, Bob, you fly some speed don't you? Come for the broken Arrow and stay for the speed contest the following weekend!

    Type at you later,

If you have never been to St Louis before here is a guide on where Buder is located and how to navigate around the city.

And the weather is looking to be really nice! Plan on getting to Buder Park around 8am to get registered and airplanes judged.

GPS to this address - 270 Valley Park Road, Valley park, MO. The roads in and out of Buder have changed in the last few years

Dan,
Thanks for posting that great aviation weather site. In addition to the wind speed and direction as well as weather conditions it has relative humidity which is good if your getting ready to paint. You can watch it over the course of the day and see when its in the good range if you don't have a humidity gauge.

Best,   Dennis
