Getting closer!!!!

[Bob Mitchell]

I must reluctantly sacrifice a perfect. factory-sealed E-Flite ASW20 4.7 M sailplane with the E-Flite retract, all unmolested, brand new, and never opened. Two big boxes and a very little one.
Will bring to Salem Aerotow, if someone'll agree $975. is, verily, a steal. Let me know.

Rob brought over his 40% Cub and we installed a header tank to eliminate flame outs on the long nose down return to home.

Flame out !?!?!?

FEDEX arrived at my house today with some pretty big boxes from Horizon Hobby. Looks like the raffle prizes have arrived.

Carbon Z Cub,
Radian BNF
Micro Radian BNF
and more.

Hi Conio,
That would be great. It worked out well last year with the smaller planes being towed by use guys.
Thanks for the help.

I will bring an Easy Glider so you can tow me for a change!

[Csessa]

I'll be there Thursday thru ??? Do you want me to bring thr J3 cub for towing smaller foam planes? That assumes I can get it all in the car.

The club is excited to have the aerotow group back, everyone's in a buzz about the event. It's so easy to feel good about holding an event when the club is 100% behind you.


Who's arriving Wednesday? We're planning an informal dinner at one of the waterside restaurants that evening and would love to have you join us.

I sure hope so. Man I need this bad!! Desperately need to get re acquainted with both the planes and the camera.

Finishing up work on the Bidule the last couple nights.

I have used Scot's steering modification with the 1/5 scale Losi steering parts and modified it a bit for mine with the DA 170....a slight change in configuration, but seems to work really well. A slight adjustment to the cg with the steering farther forward as well.......about 6-8 oz of lead added to the tail of the plane.

Should be ready to tow for the event and hopefully mine will be much more reliable now with the changes that have been completed.

Looking forward to th event....it is going to be fantastic !
