Chris,

i think what bill was Saying is taht is a good wind direction for the flightpath at the flying field. Eqst winds shouldn,t be a problem at the pond. Bill will likely make that flight before we get to the pond, so i,d like to see that.

OK but so far it's lookin like just me you and Dave.

Bill, you got your turbine all ready to fly?

The second one is ready to go. Haven't finished the 1st one yet after deciding the Boomerang nano would be better for training. I fly pretty well but there is a learning curve with the turbine.

What time is this flight expected to happen, I would definetely like to see that!

Probably won't happen til 10 ish Ray. I have to wait for somebody to buddy box me until I have the required experience to get signed off on for a turbine waiver.
I'm taking my Stinger to make sure I have something to fly regardless.
Come on down if you want. It's just one exit further south.

Yes Dave ran his Titan 33 and there were white caps on the lake! There was only four of us there and he's the only one that ran and I didn't even put the rescue boat in the water.

I think the wind was blowing a little harder than predicted. It was calling for 10-12 and it was more like 20. I didn't get to fly my turbine either since the official instructor didn't want to mess with it in that much wind.
So I settled for 3 flights on my Stinger 90.

I FINALLY heard from the county at 7PM this evening, but got no answers at all. they asked if I would write up a proposal to what we need/ want and they will present it to the board. if they all agree to proceed they will schedule a meeting with me/ us. So Ill get that done ASAP and let you all know when I have heard back.

[flraptor07]

Sure Pedro, we meet this Sunday. Bring your boats.

Unless I start feeling a lot better I probably won't make it Sunday. I left work yesterday around lunchtime after putting in for today and tomorrow off.
I've got some kind of nasty bug (or bad allergy from all the pollen) and am trying to recuperate.

Rich,hows the thunderboat build going?
FYI,got an email from TC a couple of weeks ago...he is sort of thinking about selling his boats including Miss Bud.
If you are interested PM me and I can hook you up with him.
