Title: at the field Sunday may 18
Post by C-GFLC on May 18^th, 2014 at 8:58pm

Six flyers out, winds ok early but strong and gusty in the afternoon, sometimes crosswind. We just ignored the wind and kept on flying.

highlight of the day was the maiden flight of Alain's new Me-109. Power 90 and six cell 5000 pack. Alain flew the new plane like he had hours on it. takeoff and landing flawless except for the wheel covers popping off on the landing. you can see the cover coming off in picture three below.

video of the maiden flight is here:

Jon had his Tucano out for the first time this year. amazing blistering fast airplane on 12S!

Jon flies it like he stole it right on the deck much of the time.

jon and alain show off their fighters. we expect to see them chasing around soon, probably would have today had the winds been not so strong.

I like photo three so much I added it to the web site main page.

Thanks for the new profile picture Al! Actually I think every one I've ever used has been shamelessly "borrowed" from ones you've posted :-X
