[Soarntz]

Room Booked, Thanks Jeremy. Katie liked the Lancaster Brewing Milk Stout I brought in March... Guess another six pack is in order... Hint, she said she likes Stouts.

I'll be there Wednesday thru Sunday at least, may stay over for Monday as well.

[JimD]

I'll have to check my work schedule and see if I can be there on Monday...yep...still retired, so I will be available on Monday! LOL

I thought I would share this with all of you, Katie at the Fairfield Inn asked Janet, AKA 'Swiss Miss" what exactly an Aerotow is and here in her own words is what she told her!


Here is where I gave Katie a “lesson” in what an Aerotow is…thought you might enjoy reading! J


Not strange at all…this is an aerotow, which means that there will be “tow” planes, which look like your typical private owned planes….not jets…but these planes tow up the GLIDERS, which is all of their main LOVE, with a long rope which is released once the glider is high in the air…at that point the tow plane returns to the ground to tow up another glider…gliders have no engines and can soar for hours by just “catching thermals” in the air, with a little help from their “pilots” on the ground and ailerons (the flaps on the wings)! J That, my friend, is my quick definition of an aerotow. J


Yep that makes sense! And thank you for the lesson. Wouldn’t be my first lesson about planes. Two of my friends are really into planes as well. One has his own plane from his grandfather who used to build them and the other is a black hawk helicopter pilot in the national guard. I’m sure if they all got together they would just have a field day! Lol

I think it is high time we get Katie and her new Husband out to the field and show them exactly what we do

WHAT?
Now you tell me!!

[JimD]

But they usually don't catch thermals in the air when they are receiving down elevator commands from the ground...just saying...179mph...

I think it is high time we get Katie and her new Husband out to the field and show them exactly what we do

Absolutely! (And make them future customers too!)

Jim, have you been working on Snatch with the grits?

[JimD]

Not sure that grits alone will do it...but...salt, pepper, butter, and sausage gravy may help!!!

I’m eager to get down to Cumberland and see all the changes that JimD has made. Arriving Thursday afternoon and staying at the Super 8 in Lavale. My new trailer hasn’t arrived yet, which is a bit disappointing, but not a show stopper. Will have to do the “wings over the passenger seat” routine one more time. Drive safely, everyone.

[Steve P]

Len took over your Salto at Black Dirt and will be brining it to Cumberland.

[Al_M]

Ok, thanks, Steve and Len. Can’t wait to get it!

[ARUP]

Oooooooo.... Veeeeeee Tail! Awesome aeromodeling acquistion, Al!

[lenb]

What are you talking about Steve? I don't have a Salto. ( other than the one I already own )
