Flying/Building Reports
David Hallinan
is a law student who will graduate in May. He saw our meeting notice on
the club web site and found the flying field on a Saturday. He and John
Sawyer flew and talked..
Bruce and Colleen Bumgarner
talked about the popular ALES (Altitude Limited Electric Soaring)
events at glider meets. There were big turnouts in Montana and the
end-of-year Northwest Soaring Society meet in the Tri Cities. Electric
powered gliders means there is no need for winches.
Leroy Johnson and Elmer Carlson have been flying at Leroy's field.
Dave Walker and Jerry Becker have flown at the club field with John Sawyer on Thursdays.
Bruce Bumgarner's Fun Cub is ready to go and hopes to fly Thursday. David Walker hopes to be there.
Mark Scarborough
talked about his weekend flying pylon racing, tales of his two
airplanes, accidents (not his doing), and repair jobs . Once repaired,
remember to CHECK the BALANCE POINT. Mark explained about the
airplanes, props, motors and different interesting facts about pylon
racing.
New Business
Fall BBQ Planning
After
much discussion, we will try to have the BBQ and fun fly on Sunday

Sunday was chosen to accomodate UI and WSU football games and other
Saturday activities members have on their calendars.
