Valley Gathering Indoor Fly - 28 March 2015

Unread post by CF Av8or » Mon Mar 02, 2015 8:11 pm

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

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!

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

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..!

LOL..

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
