My flying club is the Fort Bragg Fog Busters. Not that Fort Bragg. The other one. The one on the California coast 160 miles north of San Francisco. Our flying field is located on logging property surrounded by redwood trees. We have a rock quarry at the north end and a pile of overburden along the northwest side. We say if you can fly at our field you can fly anywhere!

The trick is to stay above the trees! When you want to land... get down quick, bleed off speed and try to stick it before you hit the rocks! I developed the "J-hook" technique (patterned after skydivers) for getting my Pete-n-Poke down; it's such a floater.

So, the MosquitoBite Planes "Robin" with its S.T.O.L. capabilities seems like just the ticket to me. Besides, I'm looking for something interesting to build during our upcoming rainy season.

I ordered the kit January 18th. Currently I can only show you words!

Stay tuned and we will see what the UPS guy brings me!
