My plane is ready, I have fuel, an excellent instructor, starter, radio, engine and everything but the weather here is bad, its been raining and raining. Its just my luck

Not only rain, they say snow for the weekend?

Sal, I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering if you got a chance to fly yet.....Yes, the weather is awful here....I have a chance to go flying all day this weekend and it's going to be crappy.....bummer....who did you get to instruct you Sal?

What day arte you going Mike? Wanna pick me up?

Who did you end up talking to Sal? We're curious. You can fly in the snow. Just makes seeing the plane a little diffacult.

I have Joe Jackson as my instructor. Dean and Joe helped me put the plane together. I went to the field sometime last week, he trimmed my plane and I took control for a few minutes, but couldn't really really fly as I didn't have my radio (was using his so no buddy box).

Doug and Mike, I am just curious, where do you guys fly?

Engines run in the rain, and the wing will still work, go for it!!!!

We originally flew out at the ARCS Field and both are still members of the club but for the past 3 months we have been flying at Jimmy Cateney's field in Midway, PA. It is out by Quick Silver golf course. A big beautiful grass field. We love it there. We haven't been back to ARCS since joining there. A website with directions to the field is :

There are alot of pictures of the field there also. We both decide that we kinda like a grass field. The other advantage Midway has over ARCS is no trees to hunt for your plane in if you have an accident.

Oh well... Time to start building NEXT years plane!

Doug, If I go, I can pick you up...I'll let you know what day, we'll have to see what day the weather is better.....

Sal, Joe is a great guy....he helped me a couple of times when I was starting out.

Hi Sal_11,we all have problems,Yesteday there was no wind ,73 degrees, and no clouds,club field was mowed short,after 4 hours at the field with the edge 540 and extra 300 and two flying friends,we had to give it up,getting to much of a sun tan,plus a mexican restaurant up the road needed patrons,by the time we got back to the field it was to dark to fly,guess we'll have to start earlier or maybe the club will install lights. Hope this makes you feel better,know I do.Grin,Grin,Giggle.

John, that makes me feel a little better but I still can't wait to make my first flight.

John,

I guess Terrell is a good place, for you, then. Over here in the Metroplex, it was a cool 62 adn rather breezy. :P~~~~~~

Hi raistlin 12, I was at the Greenville Club,now you know why.

Hi Sal,

Don't fret about the weather. I know how you feel but I'd rather fly in decent weather and enjoy the experience than fly in lousy weather and have an awful time. I hope to see you out at the field one of these days.

Mike

Though a little wind today (chilly) we were able to fly . Sun was good on the back, though, like I said, the north wind was nip.
OH YEAH.....Happy Halloween to all!

Get real flight and practice, practice, practice!

More rain and snow on the weekend

Morning Sal_11,can't help you this week end,been raing off and on all week,50 degrees,windy and more rain for the next four days,quess I'll work on planes,but much rather fly. Would be a good time for you to start that second plane while weather is bad,Sig Something Extra,BTE Flying King,Bte Venture 60,Sig Mid Star ,stick by anyone,etc., hope that helps,best I can do this time.

Sal,

Did you get out last night. I hear they were at the field. I was stuck handing out candy to the kiddies. Sunday is about the only decent day this weekend. A little snow wont hut you but the 15-25 winds they're calling for aren't real promising. I'm going home from work and fire up the new Raptor and play in the back yard for a bit. Need to get this hover thing down pat and with the close quarters I have to be careful. Should help master it quicker.

Have a good weekend. We may be at Midway Sunday. Send me an e-mail and we can exchange numbers incase we decide to go we can give you a call.

Doug, 15-25 winds on Sunday?

Doug, I haven't been to the field yet. Joe was busy on thursday and I was out on Sunday, so it didn't work out. Hopefully sometime this week, if it stops raining .

Sal, I was actually at the ARCS field yesterday....it was a beautiful day, just a little cold....but only a handful of people were out.....I was surprised.

Mike

I sent your number to GZlowplug. He gets to the field more than I do right now. I don't have a currend Drivers license. Once April hits I'll be there at least 3 times a week. My son gets his license in December so we'll be out more often then also. We'll turn you into a hardcore flyer. You'll be flying in 10 degree weather with us other nuts.....

Don't get too frustrated. I have planes and can fly I just have to beg borrow or steal a ride from someone so that I can enjoy the planes. My wife isn't real enthused about sopending the day at the field with the guys....

DSJBEAN's wife just doesn't know good company when she sees it.....
