Bill,
I hope you guys take a shower when you get home and wash your clothes seperate from your others. Of course unless it is halloween. You can be a glowing ghost.

Yea, there was a place like that near Pittsburgh, they threw 3 inches of topsoil over it and built over it anyway. It houses offices now.

Glad to see your government did something good with that land and helped you guys out. Nice to also see you have so many volunteers. My club is small and consists of probably 14 active members. We have 40+ on the registry however. Only 3 of which, MAYBE 4 are worth much of anything towards doing anything for the club. Of which two are very old and you won't be seeing them do much labor activities toward helping out with the club. They will bend over backwards to help you otherwise though. The president of the club hasn't been seen flying in over 10 years. He says he never has the time, but for some reason still shows up at the meetings which heeh are at his house and at the airfield. It is mostly just a bunch of old guys that sit around talking about everything other than RC.

I wish I could take that over and have that walking trail moved away from the field. Possibly extend things out further. One lady was giving me a dirty look as I was on my final approach; I look over as I notice her walking past the pavilion and she is looking at me like I am spoiling her peaceful serene walk. Luckily it was windy and I had to abort my landing. Thus I flew over her head at about 20 feet and went throttle up to pull above the trees. The genius that planned that was amazing. I think they thought it would be something to see, and I agree that walkign trail running past certain things for scenery is nice, but I don't see the walking trail going through the outfield of a softball field, or besides the 4 lane highway either.

Welp, back to work on the plane. I put in about 3 hours yesterday, mostly filling cracks and sanding. Doing alot of 1/8 balsa sheeting on the curve part of the fuse now. fun fun fun.
