Tomorrows forecast......65, sunny and light winds. Looks like a good day for me. I will be there about 12.

Man, you guys, my AC/ Heater mini split system is being installed tomorrow so I can build over the winter in perfect harmonious conditions!

Y'all have fun!

Tom, make sure you let Mike know, he's in Dallas but I think is coming back tonight or tomorrow.

Hey Tom

Wish I could be there. Have to travel tomorrow.

I have finished my Agressor conversion to BVM's Electric and am anxious to get it in the air.

Did you sell the A-4 kit you won at GSWFF?

I am working hard on the Yellow F-15 and hope to have it done by Spring. My new Jet Cat 120SE is in and fits nicely into the F-15.

See you in the spring hopefully.

Today was gorgeous out there. A bit chilly at 63ish but sunny and light to no wind in the pm...
Tomorrow should be good too, I may go again.

Great day! Just a bit of cross wind but not enough to bother anyone. I got 4 flights on my Avonds F-16 and actually landed all 4 on the skinny Austin runway (a personal best). It was the first time I have ever gotten home with all the parts in the right place after a day at AUS. Bob got 3-4 on his "Bobinator", what a great jet. fast and stable yet slows down to a crawl for landing. Secret Agent got 3 minutes on his Shrike with ailerons hooked up Backwards before he dorked it. He got within 5 ft of landing before the end came. The aileron roll on takeoff was spectacular! Next week anyone?

Tom absolutely nailed his landings with the F sickteen. The "Bobinator" (very funny Tom) is now up to 46 flights - I think it's a keeper. Secret Agent's "watch this" flight with reversed ailerons was the highlight of the day. Darned good flying to get that Shrike back in one piece!!! Next week fo sho.

Nice to meet you Tom. Glad you had a good day of flying. Wish I was able to get out there earlier, as I really wanted to see the bobinator tear it up. Next time, I'll demo the little EDF for you, I had a flame out on takeoff! too much power...
