Wednesday Flying at Goble

Since Vera had bible study today and then was going with Michelle to see Marie, I went flying at Goble. When I got there and looked at the field it looked yellow with dandilions so I mowed it. Just as I finished a modeler from Cathlamet showed up and wanted to know if he could fly as a guest. Not a problem, so we had a pretty good day of flying. He had some unusual looking planes made from foam sheets. Most of them flew pretty good.

He has just hand launched the plane below for his first flight of the day.

Different looking with the sweep forward wings, but it flew great!

This is a model of an SR-71 he flew, it was made of foam sheets also but looked great in the air. I had a good day of flying with only a couple of minor problems. I was in such a big hurry to get to the field that I forgot to stop at Subway and get a sandwich for lunch. It is a good thing there were some treats in the motor home freezer! I had the wind catch one plane on landing and roll it over very gently, boy was I surprised when the whole tail section fell off. There was a bad glue join from the factory, sure glad it did not come loose in the air. It was about a 5 minute repair Wednesday night and now you can not see where it happened. I finally gave up flying about 4 as it was getting pretty hot. After cooling off in the house for awhile and visiting with Vera I went out and made the repairs that needed to be done. I settled in front of the TV and that was the end of my day.
