We're getting in the mood here in NJ too. The weather has finally decided to get out of the March-Winds, April Showers syndrome, and get to acceptable flying wind and weather.

I was in Bradenton for the past week, had a great week. Weather was absolutely perfect. On Saturday last, I went to Sarasota Flying Club. They were having a big-bird event with an air show. We had a blast. Now that I finally OWN a pace down here rather than renting a small apartment, I am going to get a plane for Florida use only.. perhaps a Goldberg Skylark 70 or something like that. I have one here in NJ and it's great.

Anyway, that's our update from the Northeast.. and Irish gave you one from Michigan.. so we're beginning to thaw out from perma-frost and it's getting much better!!!

Later.

CGr (Dick).

Good to see you about on here, I have not been about that much lately. That Katana looks good, I hope to see pictures of it completed. Just want to say if that muffler is off a 46 AX and you have the front half then keep it, as I know that they cost a lot and I have know several people who have needed just a front half, they get holed real easy when they hit the ground at 90+.

Have fun

James

Status: offline 		Gentlemen,

It's been kinda hectic lately, but I just have to report on our latest Night Fly last Saturday. We haven't had one since March of 2007, and I asked if our MPPA club could put another together. Well, I was named the Contest Director for the event..(unofficial, since I don't have 3 years in yet) I was thrilled, and even though we had a monsoon 2 hours before the beginning of the Night Fly, it went off without a hitch, the rain cleared out and stayed away, and we had a blast!!!! It gets dark here in the summer around 9 PM and the planes were airborne soon after. Not as many crashes this time around...some of our pilots are really good at night flying. The last of us were still out there with David's plane in the air well after 2AM and we cleared out of the park at 3 AM

We used the same setup as before.....red, green, and yellow glow sticks for the port, starboard, and rudder of our planes, and blue glow sticks to light the runway!

I am proud to announce that after a warm up flight on David Storer's trainer and buddy box system, I successfully Took-off........Flew........Landed on the runway.......and taxied back to the ramp with "Son of Sky Raider, the Amphibious"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (David stood by me for moral support...no buddybox, no cables, no rescues!) My FIRST NIGHT FLY SOLO!!!!!! I had originally figured that the Sky Raider wouldn't survive the evening. I hadnt' flown it since I got my custom "Stinger" about 2 months ago. I was going to scavenge the electronics after "stuffing it in" for another plane, but now I don't have the heart to dismantle her......she will go up on the rack in my new hanger (yes I have now officially converted an entire bedroom in my home to a hanger) and live to fly another day.

If your club hasn't held a Night Fly....you just gotta put one together....this was my third, and I can't wait for the next one!!!!!
