So, I finally get to attend a contest with no practice and not really a flying plane, but I'll be there. Fun, fun, fun.

Bring it over Saturday and we'll trim the dickens out of it.

I forgot to make prior arrangements, so I'll be singing Sunday. Not worth it to go just one day.

Yes it is! You're signed up for Judging Duty in OTS and Classic on Saturday, you know.

Steve

PS: Randy...Indicators are that the 2nd circle will be available for trimming (and practice) all day Saturday and Sunday.

Now there's an offer I'd jump on Randy!!!!!!!!!

Randy Powell · « **Reply #8 on:** June 10, 2015, 11:05:56 AM »

Well, I plan on bringing my rebuilt classic plane. I'd like to at least get a couple of flights on it before flying it in classic. And I will probably bring out the elliptical pig and see if I fixed the previous issue. Guess we'll see.

The new plane is still in primer. About half sanded. Hope to get some color on it soon. Probably be ready for the contest at Auburn in August. I won't be at the Vancouver contest as I'll be attending my son's wedding.

This is the second Canadian wedding-contest clash I've heard of this year. In the USA weddings must be approved by the AMA district contest coordinator.

Hey, most wedding take place in the summer. Go figure.

HEY does the trimming the heck out of it offer apply for me and my new green weenie too? I may have the oppurtunity to make the trip this weekend

Hey Paul, did you bring your electric Skylark?

Howard Rush · « **Reply #14 on:** June 11, 2015, 12:06:34 PM »

Electric Skylark? Will contest management provide rails on which persons entering electric classic and old-time planes can be run out of town?

Sorry Mike,
That one's for VSC.
It has geometric non linear controls, Igor speed control, electric power of course, carbon 3 blade prop, TruTurn spinner, MPI wheels. Should be good for the spirit award!

No TUT? What can I say...but tut, tut. Should be good for the "Spite of '69 Award".

I was forgoing the TUT and the Howard light system to save weight.

Well, I'm packed up and ready to go ... unless I decided to sleep tomorrow. But the stuff is in the care anyway.

Scott! You will be missed. I seldom am ... other than as cannon fodder.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #23 on:** June 13, 2015, 10:05:36 PM »

And, a leaky tank does not make for a good classic flight.

Sigh....

I just received a phone call regarding Stunt-A-Thon. The venue has been changed to Auburn Municipal Airport. If you go to Thun Field in Puyallup you will only see full size aircraft and CAP. Details are posted on Flying Lines, http://flyinglines.org/

The weather looks like it should be nice. Be there and have some fun!

Wow, Mike. That brings back memories! I flew a demonstration flight at Thun Field for an airshow when I was a teenager--flying a Smoothie. Had to be the mid '50s or so. I remember we had to take off on a gravel surface. didn't crash so it couldn't have been all bad!
