Fall Picnic and Fun Fly…

By Don Hart

 

The fall picnic was held Saturday afternoon, September 27. About 30 people including club members, family and friends attended. The weather was warm and clear, with light breezes.

 

Dave Walker was the chef, providing the venison and beef burgers. As usual, the burgers and potluck items were great. Many thanks to Dave and to everyone who brought food to share!

 

The flying competition event this time was to take off, do two loops and two rolls followed by a landing with the plane stopping as close as possible to a tape across the runway. The results were:

 

Bruce Bumgarner         Zagi electric                           3 feet 7 inches

Brian Murphy               GB Eagle                                5 feet 1 inch

Terry Koltes                 Cherokee                                14 feet 9 inches

Wally Bigelow             GP Super Sportster                26 feet 1 inch

Dave Walker                GB Eagle                                43 feet 1 inch

Don Hart                      ModelTech Magic                  48 feet 1 inch

John Sawyer                 Charger Biplane                     87 feet 6 inches

Great weather, great flying, great food and great FUN.
