Great Flying Saturday

Inflight picture by Gary Stevens
We had a wonderful day of flying today in case you were not able to be there. The weather turned out to be great.

The Christmas raffle plane had its outstanding maiden flight today. Dylan Cerven piloted the craft and ran it through it's paces. Sven Sedleniek is the craftsman that assembled the plane and took the plane back to his work shop to put on the finishing touches so that some lucky flyer can win the raffle next Saturday at our Christmas party. We thank all how have helped with this project, especially those that have purchased the tickets and those that are yet to purchase tickets. IT IS A GREAT PLANE. Just so you know, the proceeds from the raffles go to support the club.

The Slow Stick exercises (competitions) were the Dead Stick and the Bomb Drop that have become familiar to our competitors at our monthly catered free lunches. I used the terms CATERED LUNCHES freely but our chef and assistant chef, Dennis Souza and Frank Ross respectively spend a lot of time working to put on the spread.

Results of the eleven Slow Stick competitors:

Bomb Drop: 1st place, Ray Larsen; 2nd place, Dylan Cerven; 3rd place, Randy Rogers

Dead Stick landing; 1st place, Dylan Cerven; 2nd place,Kent Smith; 3rd place, Ron Couldtrap

See you at the Christmas Party at Tony Villanueva's home next Saturday,
