Flying/Building Reports
Almost every flyer said it was too hot to fly, everyone was
just
trying to stay cool.
Bruce Bumgarner
has his Fun Cub ready to fly. He had to make
a box to fit the battery in as it did not balance out like the
instructions said. Bruce had to make it an easy to get to item.
Dave Walker
attended the Deer Park Bush Plane and Vintage Aircraft Fly In on Saturday July 20.
Mark Scarborough
flew in a pylon racing contest at Deer Park. His
Shoestring did not recover when settling in for turn. The plane
was damaged, but flyers from Deer Park took it home that night and
repaired
it. Mark flew it on Sunday. Mark was leading in a 4 by 4 race leading
in time when his plane was hit by another plane. Total destruction
spread over a large run way area.
The plane Mark had on display for Mall Show would never fly right.
Discovered a crack in the bottom. It's now just a
plane for display.

Program
Mark Scarborough had an elevator off a wrecked
plane to show
how to do tape hinges with Gloss Finish Multitask scotch tape

turns and how each spotter or flyer has their set way of calling.

Dave Walker
had a slide show of all the planes at the Deer
Park Bush Plane and Vintage Aircraft Fly In and also RC model planes from Spokane Barons and Inland Empire Quiet Flyers clubs. Leroy Johnson
