Glad you had a good time there! Heard someone say the rain had soaked the grounds for camping, but guess everything worked out for flying!
It had rained quite a bit before we got there, but everything was dry while we were there. First flight on my Z, I looked down the runway and someone was starting a giant R-2 with a DA 170 in it. Looked like it flew good but he had to make five or more landing aproaches to get it down. Guess it is a little touchy to land.
He was stealing my thunder! lol But my little Z done great and I was very pleased with it.
One thing I had forgot to mention, I had to remove, clean, and loc-tite the anti rotation pins (screws) in my struts before I left for Joe Nall. I noticed while I was tightening my flying wires, that one of mine was barely in from the previous flights. That could get ugly if a wheel turned sidways on a landing. Checked last night and they were still in place!
