Pics will be posted within a couple of days. There were a lot of photographers around so I'm contacting them to get copies. My thanks to everyone who attended the event. We had fantastic weather, 27 registered pilots and probably over one hundred planes on the field, either flying or on display. The treat of the afternoon was Dave Harding's Boehle Giant. This 1937 RC assist free flight is powered by a Forster .99 and just seemed to levitate on take off. the climb was slooooow and the airplane just seemed to float around. After the engine quit, Dave skillfully piloted the craft right back to the launch point. You can read Dave's blog here: http://www.dhaerotech.com/giantblog.htm
