Labor Day Weekend Flying.

Saturday we went up to Toledo to fly.  I got in lots of flying and we got some of the field setup done.  Surprise, Surprise we were not the last ones to leave.  We stopped and had a BK dinner before heading home for the evening.  I recharged the batteries for flying on Sunday

Sunday, the Longview club had a meeting at the Goble flying field.  I was the first one there, so I had my choice of parking spots and tables.  I met one of the new members today and discovered he is a Ham Radio operator also, we had a nice visit.  I got in quite a few flights before the meeting, which was nice and short so we could get back to flying.  Just before I left Ken showed up with some estate items  from Marv Balestra.

It wasn't long before I was the proud owner of a 1/4 scale Kitfox, Marv was a master builder, so I had no worries about how it was constructed.  The light weight construction make it a natural for electric power.  On the way home, I picked up the paint for the sidewalk South of the house.  A little more cleaning and I will be ready to finish another project.  This has been a pretty productive summer for me.
