Welcome this morning to some new and returning faces:
- - Ron was up for two flights on the Apprentice. He was doing great turns in the both flights but really shined in the second flight.
- Ali was at our field and joined MAAC for a 3 month trial. Ali had a smaller plane with a few build "issues" - I found that it flew best below half-throttle - and also flew a quadcopter. Ali was also up on the trainer for a flight and was doing very well.
- Murray was at the field again. We signed Murray up with MAAC today (valid to the end of 2018) and he was flying a Night Visionaire (and I was jealous!). It flew great and he was mastering the control of this new plane very quickly.
- Gaetan was new to the field and joined MAAC for a 3 month trial. Gaetan was flying a quadcopter with 1080p camera system. It flew great.
We were able to get John F's Apprentice back in the air after fixing some channel issues with the flight modes and panic switch. Once corrected, it was flying great!
Thanks, too, to Bob for mowing the field!! It looks great. The field mowing was also extended towards the school and at least one cut on each side of the field by someone... not sure who. Speak up and let us know?
Tomorrow is looking windy and rainy. This might be an opportunity for those interested in participating at the SW indoor, 9am-1230pm tomorrow. Monday is looking good and - being a holiday - I expect that there will be people at SP again.
Oh...! And for those that didn't know, our very own Rick M is presenting this weekend at MakerFaire in San Francisco! Quite an accomplishment and credit to his tinkering skills (as we all know - he is a guru in electronics!). Have a look at the profile: https://makerfaire.com/maker/entry/65240/
Hope to see you again on Monday!
