Flying/Building Reports

Mark Scarborough has been working on his Me-109 control line stunter to make it ready for the contest season. Mark has been flying at Leroy's field. He has an E-Sport, a pattern style plane powered with an E-Flite 32 motor. Mark's 5 year old grand daughter "built" a chuck glider and had a great time tossing it around the park.

Leroy Johnson has been flying a motor glider and an Ultimate Bipe.

Elmer Carlson is continuing work on his Crackerjack project. Elmer says it won't fit in his car!

Dave Walker got back from Arizona as of April 20th. Dave flew with Jerry Becker at Sawyer's. Jerry mowed the field.

Bill Ward and Vance Penton have not been flying.

Bruce Bumgarner will not be flying at the glider meet.

Don Hart has been flying his aerotow glider and Ted Wilkins' tow plane (Ted is from Grangeville) at the Mann Lake field. Don's thermal duration skills are rusty, so he's been flying a Radian Pro motor glider.
