Faro Field Fly-In

6-26-2019 We went to the Faro Field Flyers Annual Flight Festival scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.  We went a day early so we would have plenty of time to set up for our first overnights in the Intruder.

I was surprised when there ended up being six or seven rigs there early and spending the night also.

The setup went good and I spent the rest of the day flying and visiting.  Jeff and Tina had this batch of planes for sale.

Our new friend Steve had these for sale also, the Corsair was at the Winter Build Challenge for sale but it did not sell.  Steve pulled the motor out of it and lowered the price but it did not sell this weekend either.

Steve had a really low price on this Trex 700 and I ended up buying it.

There were lots of different kinds of planes on display and flying.

Just before sunset there was also some control line flying done, the first time I have seen any in many years.

Jeff is watching Marc fly inverted, it was a nice ending to the day.

This is how the Intruder looked as the sun went down tonight.  I tucked all the planes under it or the awning for the night which turned out to be a good idea because it rained a little during the night.

6-27-2019  John and Dan from the LCRC were there early this morning.

More modelers with nice planes showed up this morning.

Our neighbor this weekend flying.

Our neighbor had two Piper Tri-Pacers, one third scale and one quarter scale.  They both flew great, but I liked the quarter scale best as it had an onboard electric starter.  It was cool to watch him set it next to the runway, step back and have the motor crank over and start, taxi out and take off.

Our friend Sonny was all over the place helping people all weekend.

The teenager flying this plane was really good, you can not believe the things he could make it do.

The P-40 and Hellcat are two of my favorite airplanes and they got flown a lot today.

There was four of the large warbirds flying together, the FW-190 looks like it is about to attack the P-40.

6-28-2019  The Sunday morning sun lighting up the curtains and the TV going was a good start to the day.  It was nice watching it during the day and evenings, we got twenty one channels so we had a little selection.

The solar panels worked great, the TV ran all day every day and the batteries were always full.  The one hooked to my Lipo charging system did the same for that battery.

I put in a couple of early morning flights and we headed home.  It was a great weekend and everything worked great, the best camping trip we have ever had.
