Hello All:

Started student training this past Monday at Wassi field. The rwy was pretty wet, especially after the snow we experienced, however, that didn't dampen the spirits of the two students and five instructors that showed up. I had the pleasure of instructing Ed C who was up for three flights before the sun dipped below the horizon. These were Ed's first flights and although he did admit to being somewhat nervous, he performed very well. If Ed is able to train on a regular basis, he will have no problem getting a set of wings for his jacket.

Although the weather seems to be against us, I'll head out to the field again tonight, 05 May 04, to cut some more brush and maybe drop some of the larger brush with a chain saw. I'll be at the field by 1830 hours. If you can make it come out and lend a hand. Remember to bring a brush cutter and/or chain saw.

Cheers,

Peter

Hey Tilden Flyer, I will be out at Cranberry Field at around 11am tomorrow. I plan on being there for a good portion of the day flying the heli. Hope the weather is favourable!!

went out flying at cranberry field today. with thanks to jan and jordan i was able to get in a few training flights. it was a bit windy at times to say the least .i think the elastics on my wings were getting a work out.not to mention some frozen fingers all in all it was a good afternoon . thanks guys

p.s. i think jan figured out my engine problem.

I'm gonna try heading out tomorrow to see if I can cheat the forecast. I hope the chef that cooked them yummy sausages on a bun shows up again

I'm working on getting me propane stove into my trailer,nothing like some hot tea to warm up a frozen flier!

Looks like it might be windy Monday but I could be coaxed into doing some training Tuesday or Wednesday evening if anyone is interested.

well hopefully your plane flopped after the flip, so I take it you got some flying in? How did the Alpha behave?
