Fly Report
We only had 18
registered pilots at the event, although we had a
lot
more spectators than most events I've seen our field host. I
would
have liked to have questioned people to find out how they heard about
it so I could make sure and do that again next time. A
handful of the
pilots were from out of the area. Spectators as usual were
very
impressed with the size and performance of the giant scale
planes. The
raffle at the end of the day certainly worked out well for
some people. We did the usual one ticket per flight, and
yours truly
won two gift certificates, which made my $10 landing fee a worthwhile
investment!! The wind picked up pretty substantially by about
noon,
and by 1 p.m. Overall a pretty successful event!
