Faro Field Flyers Big Bird Fly In

After spending Friday loading the motor home and charging batteries, this morning we headed up to the Faro Field Flyers Big Bird Fly In.  We got there early enough to get a good parking spot and get all set up before the flying started.

I flew my first flight of the day with the Convergence and then flew the B-36 which I brought in place of the Sopwith Pup which I couldn't get to run.  Thursday afternoon while trying to start it my grip on the prop slipped and the spring starter wacked me and cut two fingers on my right hand.  Right away I decided to sell it and hauled it to the Fly In with a For Sale sign.

Here it is at it's new home, Jeff from Skyward Hobbies who was putting on the Fun Fly traded me a new MXS to replace the one I had the Oops with last Tuesday.

There were lots of nice planes there today!

Some awesome displays of 3D flying were put on by quite a few pilots.

It was a nice day and there were sun shades everywhere and lots of people under them with a pretty good crowd that turned out just to watch.

Vera went around with the camera taking pictures of planes and asking the owners to smile, she got some great pictures.

 Upright or inverted these planes fly great!

The Lewis County Radio Controllers had a raffle Saturday and also provided a free lunch for everyone there.

Jeff and Tina from Skyward Hobbies provided chili, cornbread and chicken for the pot luck dinner.  There was also lots of salads and desserts brought by people attending.

The owner of the farm provided a band to play during dinner.  It was our kind of music so we really enjoyed it.  They had a light system for night flying, but we left right after the band finished at seven, it had been a big day by then.
