Long Weekend - October 9/10/11, 2021

Well...! Saturday was a treat! Light winds; fairly warm temperatures. Great turn-out. Lots of smiles. What could be better?
I was able to enjoy a few flights and then took up another new-to-the-field 9-yr old today on the club Apprentice. He was doing quite well in SAFE mode and seemed to be really enjoying the experience. Meanwhile, Rick was up with another young student (Max) for a few introductory flights with his FunCub and with Gary supporting. Great to see the younger talents with interests in the hobby! We are certainly here to help!
And then we had Brian up for another flight on the Apprentice. It is obvious that he has been working through the simulator as his flying is really coming along. A bit of a cross-wind really did not help on the landings but he was doing quite well. Just need to slow down the approach just a bit and we'll be closer to those wings!! We were encountering some issues binding my master Dx9 to his Gen 1 Dx8 for the flight mode (beginner/intermediate/advanced)... the master was seeing the change but was not passing it along to the plane and it stayed in beginner mode all of the time.... I have updated my firmware on my Dx9 and we will try again!
All in all, a great day!!!!
