Valley Gathering Indoor Fly - 28 March 2015
I wanted to pass on, from the Wings Of Wellington RC Club, the notice of their annual Valley Gathering Indoor Flying Event.
Details on this webpage: www.wingsofwellington.org/valleygathering_new.htm
A great event, in a super facility. Well worth the drive to Kentville.
Cheers,
Vic

Re: Valley Gathering Indoor Fly - 28 March 2015
I can report that both of Steve's new designs above flew successfully at the Valley Gathering today. The smaller wing flew like many of his other planes, perfectly.
The biplane/space ship/thingie design (it needs a name Steve) attracted lots of attention and made it's maiden flight with ease. Looks like another winner. I was so interested in seeing it go I didn't even make an inflight photo which is unusual for me. the gymnasium light is poor anyway and flight photos often disapppointing.
A big congratulations Steve. You are an innovative and talented modeler!

HEFA's other talented and innovative modeler Vic Rusgys made along with Steve a couple of very successful glider tows within the gymnasium. Well done gents!

Re: Valley Gathering Indoor Fly - 28 March 2015
So much fun! An eventful...event! Thanks Al, as always, for the photo-reporting, nicely done! Vic's aero-tow plane/glider setup worked the best yet with the new shock cord - third time's the charm I guess, finally perfected for our first big audience, very cool, yay!
Here's our gang who headed down from Halifax - we did a 9 to 5 shift at the Valley Gathering and then did a beer-and-steak at the Spitfire Arms Pub in Windsor on the way back... yum - thanks guys, good times
Vic's museum... and massage... Richard's high performance display... and favorite color... Steve's menagerie... Kevin's completely intact planes...

Re: Valley Gathering Indoor Fly - 28 March 2015
Great pics guys....that last one is interesting. It's either a "morning blessing" of the planes....or, more likely, all the bowed heads are busy in another world with their "text" gadgets,..! OK...it's prizes you say..!

Re: Valley Gathering Indoor Fly - 28 March 2015
I've updated our ASRCM web site main page with photos from the Valley Gathering yesterday and links to all the photos and prize winners photos. Meanwhile I am having trouble again with our server uploading so the "all photos" link is only showing half the photos. Last time this happened I had to wait a day or so to get it straightened out.

Some of these photos will be going on to Cato for the MAAC newsletter
