Flying in Salem CT

[BobM]

Ok, so here at Bob's Trailer Deli.......looks like it is at least 8 people that are planning on coming, possibly more. If I plan for about 12 I think that should be enough for the group.

Don't plan on having anything fancy.....I should have hard rolls, condiments, turkey and ham, and cheese slices. Should be good enough for sandwiches. Of course it is very likely I will pack some other things in there too..........wouldn't be a day of aerotowing without having some packages of Tate's choc chip cookies !

Liquid refreshments not included with the meal, so be sure to bring what ever soda, juice, water, snapple, etc that you would like to have.

Let me know if there is anything I should add or edit here (within reason........this isn't a 5 star restaurant operation lol).

Looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday.

Don will be coming, have not heard from Tom Mavarro.
Steve P is there too.

thanks Bob...just me arriving alone...I'll bring some edible supplies too

Tape question: I just use white electrical tape form Home Depot or the hardware store, typically 3M or similar. I place a strip from the bottom of the root wrapped around to the top of the root. Seems to work pretty well as the forces that would pull the wings apart shouldn't be so great to overcome the tape..........if those forces are greater than what the tape can handle I think you might have bigger problems than keeping the wings on the fuselage.

Thought I would bring some rolls and cold cuts for lunch if people want. Give me an idea of how many people might be there and I can bring some lunch supplies to share.

Grown men playing with dollies... *sigh*

I'm hoping to be there, woohoo Salem towing!

[hello82]

thanks for bringing the dolly guys! I will be there around 8ish coming from Boston. Looking forward to meeting you all.....

....also still figuring best way to keep wings attached (after rods of course)......might just use electrical tape...what size do guys usually use? regular 1/2"?...might eventually go to using an inner system with bolts or velco...

[BobM]

I have a dolly that I will bring with me. Not a problem at all.

I likely won't be there until 9 or so.

[TomTerrific?]

I'm hoping to come too. I'll bring Dolly too 😀

Hi Matt,

I'll be there by 8:00, no problem.

I imagine Bob Morrow still has a dolly, let me see If I can find mine.
Stay tuned

Petr

[hello82]

thanks Scott! Hope you can make it Petr...

I ordered that dolly, not sure if it will be ready by then though...do the other guys generally have one?

[Stew]

Matt,

Here is a link to directions via the Propbusters web site. They are in Salem, Ct.

It is not a sailplane only field, noisey, greasy, and whirly-birdy things flown there too. 8:30-9:00 AM is probably good, Len will straighten me out if I am messed up on that. Good luck and enjoy!!

Great to see that Petr looks like he will make it as well! I bet the lift will start early and work well all day. Good hunting!

Scot

[hello82]

sounds good! see you guys Saturday...being a "newbie" I have many questions..LOL .......what is exact location of the field? Is it a sailplane only field? ....what is considered early for sailplane folks...8am?

[lenb]

Ok guys.

Its seems the consensus is for Saturday. Lets plan on getting an early start so we can maximize the beautiful day that's in the forecast.

See you all there. Pass the word around.

Sorting out some new electronics installations this week and should have at least one (possibly more) of the sailplanes ready by Saturday. Hope to be there if that day works out for the group.
