For those interested, the Ft Smith Fly-Low-In was a heck of a lot of fun. I got
up there Friday at about 11:30, right after the rain broke. Flew from about
noon to 11pm under the lights they had out there. Then got up at about 8am and
Bryan Brannon had just shown up. We got setup and started flying again. I
stayed until about 6pm Saturday and packed up for home. Bryan won a plane and
motor in the raffle, a 3dhobbyshop 48" EPP foam Extra 330.
I think I flew more of other people's airplanes than my own at the event!
Can't wait for next year's event.
One of the MARCS clubs very own pilots got asked to do a noon time 3d demo
flight, 12 year old Jaden Shumate. That was pretty cool.
Perhaps next weekend I'll make the Beaverfork evening flying session.

reat to see a good group out there at Beaverfork. Great to meet Phillip and
Jason. You guys have also been added to Letkrik_Flyers just FYI. You can also
look below my signature line for website info, and other links that might help
out.
I'm becoming somewhat of an expert at plane retrieval from trees. I have put
mine in them enough times, and have now helped at least 3 others get theirs
out. Just glad to have help around and sometimes lucky enough to get to it
with just a little help in engineering if materials are available. Thanks Joel
for helping rig all that up. I'm just glad those rotten limbs held together
long enough to get that dislodged. That could have been much much worse! ;-)
This kind of weather takes me back several years to when John Cooper and I
would get home from work, and head straight out to Wooster International
(Wooster Park) and fly until dark or later (before they started fencing it in).
The kind of weather we had this evening was very good, although I did notice
some buffeting by some of the lighter planes once they cleared the treetop
line, but that is just something you have to get used to there.
Definitely some activity on the flying front lately and I guess finding the
right time is about as important as finding the right place. What a full
weekend of flying. L.A.F.F.S had a GREAT Fly In on Saturday (Friday kind of got
rained out), Fort Smith had the Low Fly In, and cap the weekend off with some
quick flying action and there you have it.
Thanks Tray and all for posting that out.
See you in the air...

There was a great turnout at Beaverfork tonight. I had a great time see
familiar faces and meeting some new folks. There was a spectacular crash into
a tree across the flying field and the Sensei wedged behind a couple of tree
branches about 20 feet up. Bill and I strapped two tree branches together with
a piece of wire and he dislodged it from the branch while we caught it before
it hit the ground. I was thoroughly impressed that the worst damage was a
pretty small crack in the wing. I am SO going to buy a Sensei.
The weather was great and the sunset was gorgeous.
