Weather in Eugene this weekend

How'd you do it?  And why not Friday, too?

Well, I'll be there with the Nobler on Saturday, or I'll embarrass myself with the in-laws (who will be kid-watching).  The LHS is having trouble getting ugly orange Econocoat, so it'll have some _really_ ugly wide black "trim stripes" at the wing roots.  Good thing there'll be no appearance points!

Two weeks ago I was planning on flying the heck out of the plane and hopefully doing the whole beginner schedule.  Then I crashed it, and the weather got bad, and I've got nasty old paying work (four letter word, that) to do.  So now if I'm really feeling courageous I'll do three consecutive inside loops in addition to my wingover, takeoff, and landing.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Tim, I'll be there on Thursday afternoon and if you really have a problem I'll loan you a Twister.  We are all there to have a good time and I am certainly not competitive so if there is anything that will help just look for me. Beginner and Intermediate are flown on grass so the absolute worst thing that could happen is a rekit. I'm flying Intermediate because I think I should, not because of my great skill and I am bringing 3 airplanes in case I break something in practise.  So if you should happen to damage your Nobler, come and find me.  You aren't, by chance, camping at the site?

No.  I can really only make it Saturday, and that's basically stolen time.  I'll be staying overnight at my parents in law's house in Dundee, then heading out as early as I can get up -- I hope to leave at 6:00AM from Dundee so I can catch most of the morning events.
